who can afford to do so TO eat
as many restaurant meals day
as he wants, without giving up
any coupons. This is contrary
to the last wars strict rule Of
mo food ticket, no meal. " And
while il is expensive, consider
ing what you get. even in the
popular-priced cafes and chain
restaurants, every place every
day is Chock full Of people wait
ing for your table.
Even in the luxury hotels and
restaurants, and the exclusive
clubs too, the standard of food
and cooking is decidedly poor
er than il was a year ago and
there is much less variety. The
menus are still written in
French, often Disgusting such
homely dishes as boiled beef
and carrots, fried cod or boiled
suet pudding and the prices are
decidedly high.
OF course, if you can order
such things as partridge at three
dollars a portion or a small
pheasant for something around
six dollars when in season, you
can have them. oysters, too, al
twenty-five cents apiece, or
salmon at about sew
enty-five cents a portion. It
costs about four dollars a pound
in the stores.
Though there still is a rela-
lively large number Of people
who seem to think nothing Of
spending twenty-five dollars
day on food, they, too, are 60
ing to have to tighten their
belts with the rest Of the ma
ton.
First step in this direction is
the new ruling that up to IA
years penal servitude can be
