We, the three walters came together. studied
the order well and we divided the work so thA
we could get as good service as possible. O1k
waiter went to get the table and set it in the
room. went to get the gold plates the silver
and the glasses. The other waiter went to or
der the stuff in the kitchen. In ten minutes
all three of us were up in the apartment fixing
the table. The maid gave us an order not to
put any linen on the tale because her mistress
wanted to put her own gold embroidered table
cloths and napkins which she valued with pride
at ten thousand dollars.
A pet monkey which was sitting by the lux
urious fireside watched us working furiously
following every move we made
The walls of the dining room were covered
the statue of Buddha and in the corner oppo-
site some holy 'Vestments, antiques, of the By
zantine time.
! The head Waiter rushed up with two bus
boys loaded with cracked ice and glasses of
different shapes and forms, cocktail glasses,
champagne glasses and cordial glasses. He di-
rected the setting of the table. In the mean
time, he put the champagne, the private stuff
that the hostess had on ice, and started shaK-

Mrs Van der Parasite emerged from an adj

was off that day
! N few minutes the guests started to come.
l dashed down to get the Caviar which we
served in the Reception Room with the cock
tails. The other waiter brought up the Hors
DOeuvre appetizers which were prepared with
much art and skill to please the guests. One
cook was working all day to fix the Hors
D'Oeuvres. Everything was ready, and the
hostess called everybody and seated them in
their proper places at the table. Before the
guests sat down we turned the lights out and
we lighted some blue colored candles so as to
give mysterious and romantic atmosphere
Two walters passed around the Hors DOeu-
Vre, While the other one came I'D with hrge
electric heater in one hand and table In he
other, bringing in the consomme. He groa1 I'd
under the heavy load and heat of the heater.
The perspiration was pouring down his face
and the heavy dress but added to the heat
helped him take down the table, An expires

muttered: IT'S a great life if you don't
