On the other hand, to the old-fashioned, old fogy, who is generally a man, there is nothing quite so abominable and objectionable as the course dinner. Hear him vent his long pent-up feel ings; his deep personal grievances: "There is nothing, I say ,lt advisedly, that tries my temper and weara out my patience so effectually as a course dinner. iFlrst and foremost, I don't know what la coining, so I generally cat my nil, sate my appetite on some old thing which loathe and which nearly chokes me to swallow, so that when what I care for is brought on, I can not swallow another mouthful and have to sit up and sham and smile and dally with my knife and fork wh.lle other peo pie are eatlns. Then, when I start out . with two plates almost the same sht8v I am al ways In a quandary as to" which Is for bread and butter and which Is for the other stuff. My uncertainty becomes in tolerable, and I am thrown in to a nerv ous tremor when I look down and Bee a dozen shining silver things spread out by my plate. Even In my bewilder ment and desperation, I've counted three spoons of different sizes, a trident patterned after Neptun's two knives, a nnt-plcker, and some other little instru ments that made me think more of a dentist's chair than of anything else. Of course, I had no Idea what to do with them, I don't believe the hostess knew, but the way. I managed to keep In the procession was this: I always contrived to be engaged In a moat ab sorbing discussion with my nearest neighbor till the hostess and everybody else had picked up th,e puzzling little trick, then I'd make a grab at mine. and line up in the procession. Oh, it Is 'perfectly abominable this course din per buslnessl When I get married (he was a nacnetor, 01 course,) 11 is going to be understood there are to be but three courses at our house. That's the way they had It when I was a boy. The soup, of course, came first and my mother served It with a great ladle and It didn't seem to breik her down to" do It either. Then came the meats and vegetables and nickles. The table was wide and strong and there was plenty of room for everything. A man could see what he was going to have and eat accordingly. Ha didn't have to eat what he didn't want, because it was Set before him, but he could consult his tastes without Infracting the laws of Btyle and etiquette. Finally, the des acrt was served. This may not have been 'dainty and delicious' as the scribe of social functions always puts it, out It was good and appetising and round ed up a good square meal. That's the . way I feel about It." and the consclentl ous opposer of the modern course din ner relapsed Into alienee. By the way, It la a little puzzling even to the feminine mind to keep strictly In line in the matter of using In proper order the various insignia in silver of the leveral courses. I heard two ladles discussing the different usages In plac ing these insignia. One said: 1 at waya place mine In the order they are to be used, with the first nearest the plate, "l do. too. replied the other, "but my friend, Miss Topman, -who Is the very highest authority in such matters Invariably arranges her's in the oppo J site way, those to be used first farthest Well, well, there Is some consolation in knowing It "won't make an atom's difference a hundred years to come lor.
