GET THIN LUNCHES,
BEGUN IN AMERICA,
POPULAR In LONDON

LONDON, Dec. 5.-P)-"Get thin"
lunches have become the fad here. The
idea was introduced through writings
of Mrs. Charlotte Cameron. traveller
and authoress, who told Of their intro
duction in California, where she has
been the guest of the Adolph Spreckles
family in San Francisco and other
friends at Los Angeles and Holly
wood. She is one of England's most
Travelled women, having visited most
countries of the world.
Mrs. Cameron vas entertained so
lavishly at so many dinners that she
felt she would not be able TO undergo
the strain of giving series of long
drawn out course meals "to get even. |"
and this led to Inauguration of the
scheme of lighter refreshments for her
guests.
Menus for Mrs. Cameron's lunch
cons were made up, not by head wait
ers or chefs, but by Los Angeles doc
tor who specializes in reducing. Her
parties became immensely popular AMI
now thinning lunches are very popu-
lar III Mayfair. There are indications
the idea will extend to dinners.
