If one takes fish at all seriously as a gastronomical preparation, the fish of the Café Anglais must stand out as the high light in the meal. Such fish cannot last forever. There appear quasi de veau braisé bourgeoise and pilaf de volaille. Burgundy seems appropriate, and a Moulin à Vent 1915 is one of the best for the purpose. The Café Anglais has an American trait; it likes to serve its food in great quantities and one plate is likely to be heaped with a pilaf composed of heavy slices of chicken and rice, generously doused with a regulation heavy yellow sauce that renews the keenness of the patate, while the other plate is a study in tender roast veal, garnished with peas, carrots and tiny onions. Once this is achieved, it is. time for The celebrated coup de milieu according to Grimod de La Reynière was the chief invention of the city of Bordeaux. In the olden days, after the mass and when appetite had begun to flag, the daughter of the house entered the dining-room looking her best and bearing a tray of liqueurs. Beginning with the plus gourmand or the most distinguished guest, she passed her strong drinks about the table. After one glass, the old authority states that “the effect was magical; each one was disposed to begin the meal again.” The trou normand is filled with calvados. But the coup de milieu is not favored by many gourmets. In the absence of renewed desire, cheese and salad can be skipped for dessert. If the diner is American, his choice is likely to be a seasonal variation of a peach Melba, since that famous invention of Auguste Escoffier contains ice cream. Fresh peaches being almost impossible to obtain, a poire Melba will have to do. The fine champagne maison is worthy of the meal. That is enough to say of it. The coffee, of course, is good. In spite of Brillat-Savarin and Alaris Louis de Cussy, there are only two kinds of coffee—good and bad. Potage Saint-Germain Crème Florentine Suprême de Barbue Coquille Saint Jacques

In “September Night” she paints a landscape: We walked in the day, in the drowsy starlight To the sleepless, sleepy sound Of insects humming in the low sea-meadows For miles and miles around; With a wheel and a whirr the resistless rhythm Trembled incessantly; Antares was red in the sky before us, And behind us, the blackness of the sea. French influences are found occasionally. In her meditations on the Pont de Neuilly, the Verlaine touch is easily recognized: The Seine flows out of the mist And into the mist again; The trees lean over the water, The small leaves fall like rain.

Sir Francis is in America, renewing acquaintances with American hotelkeepers, seeking the latest devices for the further modernization of his Mayfair Hotel in London, and stirring tourist interest in his “Come to Britain” movement. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Francis William Towle, C.B.E. is the elder son of Sir William Towle, of Derbyshire, who was the manager of the Midland Railway Hotels from 1871 to 1914, and the designer of the Midland Hotel, Manchester, and the Midland Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. After education at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge, Mr. Francis Towle subsequently several years travelling with his younger brother, Mr. Arthur Edward Towle, and both gained valuable experience in hotels in America and on the Continent. Together with his brother, Francis entered the Midland Railway hotel service in 1896; two years later they became assistant managers, under the management of their father. In 1911 they were appointed joint managers with their father; next they took full control on the latter’s retirement in 1914. At the end of 1919, after being knighted in recognition of his war work and hotel reform services, Sir Francis retired from the joint management of the Midland Hotels, When his brother became sole manager. Then came in 1921, the reorganization of the Gordon Hotels, Limited which had been sorely hit during the war, when they were taken over by the Government. Sir Francis was appointed managing director of the Gordon group at a salary of £7,000 a year, under the chairmanship of Sir Clarendon

Sir Francis was appointed managing director of the Gordon group at a salary of £7,000 a year, under the chairmanship of Sir Clarendon Hyde. In the same year Sir Francis carried out a great scheme of reform and reorganization of the group. Then he launched the “Come to Britain” movement, and introduced informal lunches for those interested in inducing Americans and others traveling to come to England first.” Sir Francis has the happy knack of combining business with pleasure. He is a keen tennis player, and he personally organizes tennis tournaments at his numerous hotels. At the Métropole at Monte Carlo, he has had three hard courts laid down, and his “American tennis tournaments” are one of the features of the winter season. So successful have these tournaments been, that he has introduced winter tennis tournaments on hard courts at his English hotels at Brighton, Margate and Folkestone. Sir Francis Towle, at fifty-one, is as energetic as at twenty-one. A Touch of Nature.

ANIMAL EDUCATION Some birds and beasts appear to have definite ideas on the training and education of their young. Others give no sign of having the most elementary notions on the two subjects. Most birds teach their fledglings to fly before the home is broken up. The pigeon is an exception. It is a devoted nurse in the early days, but it ceases surveillance directly the little ones no longer need feeding. So soon as the squab is able to pick up its own food, the parents seem to lose interest in him, even to turn against him. The most they will do towards teaching him to use his wings is to throw him out of the nest. Cats, both wild and domesticated, are strict disciplinarians. The best-mannered kitten is the one that has been trained—without an occasional spanking—by its careful mother. Foxes teach their cubs to hunt, educating them early in all their own cunning. Even the apparently foolish domestic hen rises to unsuspected heights of intelligence if she is given her liberty and the chance to initiate a brood of chicks into the secrets of foraging.

According to a statement just issued in New York, funds for the Winter have been exhausted by litigation over the loss by fire of the Relief warehouses in Greece, and the heavy demands caused by the recent floods and earthquakes in Armenia. In fact, Near East Relief officials are consulting geologists to find out if it is advisable to maintain orphanages in the Ararat Valley, which was shaken by seventy-five seismic shocks in a fortnight. Should they stay, it will be largely because of the heroism of such workers as Miss Elsie L. Jarvis of Washington, D.C. Miss Jarvis was one of those in charge of an Armenian orphanage when the severest earthquakes came. One thousand little victims of Levantine calamities were in her care. At the first shocks that opened up cracks in the walls and sent glass and crockery crashing to the floor, a thousand terrified cries came from childish throats. Realizing that a panic would mean the death of hundreds of children, Miss Jarvis mustered her charges with the usual discipline of the institution. A pat on the shoulder here and a reassuring word there calmed the frightened orphans. Under her cool leadership, they marched to safety in perfect order while further shocks crumbled chimneys and sent buildings tumbling down behind them. Fewer Potatoes A generally poor potato crop in the producing countries of the world is predicted by the Department of Agriculture in Washington.

The Canadian crop, while 2,000,000 bushels more than in 1925, is placed at 19,000,000 below the five-year average, and the estimates production in Europe, exclusive of Russia, will be about 15 percent less, with quality “not favorable.” ART.

Imported tobacco enters France duty free, since the State monopoly buys and resells it. However, the regulation which exempts tobacco does not specifically exempt the containers. Since the Régie has been bringing in great quantities of foreign cigarettes in fancy boxes, the Customs Service is alarmed. These gilded and embossed packages represent a certain intrinsic value in cardboard and printing. “Tobacco goes free,” says the Customs Department, “but these pretty boxes will have to pay.” Whereupon it proceeded to hold up a shipment of American cigarettes in order to levy a tax of 3 centimes on each fancy box of twenty cigarettes. As the Régie uses 50,000,000 packages of this brand annually, the insignificant tax would represent 1,500,000fr. a year. Officials of the Régie admitted that it matters little whether the money flows into the State coffers by one channel or another, but they protested because of the delay inevitably attached to anything in which the Customs Service is concerned. A committee of experts has just decided that for tariff purposes the package is inseparable from the cigarettes and must therefore be admitted free. But the Customs Service is preparing a counter-protest. DEAD LEAVES Dead Leaves, brittle-curled and dry, Laugh and skitter and cartwheel by, Dead Leaves that know what it is to die.
