ROBERT"
he comments on a lost art.

u OBERT grows gloomy in contem-
~ plation Of the considerations that
must bear upon the compilation Of q
menu for the consumption of women.
But he brightens when he reflects that
the men have stood by them to Q
greater extent.
"The two-inch steak, rare and red
and running with its own juices, still
holds the place Of honor in q mans
appetite" says Robert. Invariably,
given his choice, man will express
preference for steak. And he still
wants good, solid food to accompany
it. Men today stand together in con-
tinued appreciation of the potato.
when we must prepare q menu
that is to be served to women, we give
out attention, Of course, to the daintier
fare. When man eats salad, it's be-
cause he has been threatened or cajoled
into the belief that it's good for him.
But women really enjoy them. They
like the possibilities for attractiveness
in their preparation, and the fact that
they are mountaineering adds weight to
the charm they hold for women. But
today there must be no starchy foods
Evening star., 1936-11-14

or q minimum Of them-on . bill Of
fare designed for women"
True, large dinner parties, banquets
and receptions are still planned and
given in the Capital. And as much
thought and care and more experience
go into their preparation than ever
before. But new considerations are
brought to bear upon their planning,
and the public banquet is less common
today than it was Of yore. For in
stance, in "the old days. banquets ac-
commodating as many as 1000 guests
were often given. Today fair esti-
mate Of Large banquet" would prob
ably be 900 guests, and these are rare.
Entertainment is the order Of the
day, Robert points out. Where musi-
Gales and gatherings for conversation
and witty exchange Of opinion and
political discussion characterized an
earlier era and kept folks in their own
drawing rooms after dinner, today the
younger and the older generation seek
entertainment in public places. They
like the excitement and color Of ball
room gatherings-hence the tremen.
dous popularity of the night club idea.
Everything must be quickly prepared

in hospital, to observe on the walls
of the waiting room or hallway opera
tions in progress. or ghostly masked
figures engaged in professional tasks,
or will the mind of the young and i'm
pressionable be led to heights Of as
piration by viewing puzzle pictures
made up Of devices representing
mechanical power? It is doubtful.
Obviously art attains significance not
through subjective significance but
the doing-beauty lies not merely in
the thing itself but in the way 1t Is
done. However, in the choice Of sub
ject matter there may be fitness and
reflection of taste. The ugly and the
commonplace can only stir our emo
tions when uplifted and glorified by
the genius of a master-seer, inter-
preted by O rriaster-artist. Such are
rare.

Rush and Tear in Life of
Today Are Driving Out

ByLucy Salamanca.

TIME was when a lady (and I
mean ladyD ordered q steak,
mashed potatoes with plenty Of
- gravy, please, two or three side
dishes, a goodly supply of hot bis
cults with two squares Of butter bis
cult, nonchalantly tossed two Jumps
Of sugar into every cup of coffee and
passed her plate without the quiver Of
an eyelash for a second helping Of
dessert. And that, says Robert, ia
nous Washington maitre d'hotel, was
only about six years ago!
AS for the man of the house-well,
he went through six or seven courses
every night, with the proper wine be-
tween courses, the proper send-of and
the proper nqueur closing. and he
conversed eloquently about canvas
backed ducks and planked steaks and
never expected to rise from the table
under two hours.
The world, sighs Robert, has for
gotten how to dine. Now the people
only eat. And Robert feels that with
good dining has gone much Of the
gracious leisureliness of life.
People don't take time to dine to-
day." Robert declares. "All life has
speeded up to such an extent that the
fine art of eating bids fair to 60 the
way Of all tradition. You can't dine
with your eye on clock, and the con.
slant rush and tear of the life Of the
century has penetrated even to the
dining rooms Of today"
Certainly Robert, If any one, is en-
titled to know. Since 1918 he has
served the public Of Washington that
has sought entertainment and pleas
ure about round tables set with snowy
cloths and cleaning with well-polished
glassware and silver. Where people
have gathered to eat, there has been

His kindly manner and quiet voice,
his calm, attentive countenance are
familiar to diners-out In the Capital
today, just as they were familiar to
the statesmen and diplomats Of an
era that prepared days in advance
for its banquets and receptions, an
