RANN fT A T?T TT* Tk'TIATri T4TWPP X ilDiiU U .livr J. .U THE table d'hote dinner Is a successful method of saving money at the expense of the appetite. The regulation table d'hote dinner consists of three courses - with one guess. The patron is allowed to look at n long, serpentine bill of fare which seems to present untold possibilities for 50 cents, but after reading it all the way through and deciding to order everything in sight he stumbles onto a few lines of brusque fine print which eliminates everything but the roast beef and iced tea. This explains why so many patrons rise up from a table d'hote dinner wearing a wan and crestfallen look. The table d'hote dinner was Invented for the benefit of people who are never hungry when it is their turn r I IOO"T see ,<xAI// VJEIL'UIEIL" Hon twi - rtt fCi^Tms - cwTto MWCH W/S\ ' ?

It Is favored by hotels and restaurants because it has been demonstrated that almost everybody, chooses the wrong meat or vegetables 1 and is stricken with a total paralysis ! of the appetite. It is esftimated that! the American hotel makes more money off ?he table d'hote victim than It . does ofT the six by nine sample room with a North pole temperature. The main idea back of the table 1 d'hote dinner, however, is to drive the ; patrons into the open jaws of the a la 11 carte service. This is a merciless sys- |{ tem by which two strips of bacon and I <1 Tvlofo nt hnttpr^H tnnst nfp> made ! 4* IV V-.

It! requires more fortitude to sit down | and look Into the threatening coun- j tennnce of an a la carte menu with- j out quailing than It does to wear the legless union suit all winter. The tnhle d'hote dinner is doubtless all right for city folk, but out in j the country, where people know how | to live, it will never be adopted as a I substitute for food.

PRESS; a u Abbeville, f ' ? i.v-t ?- ? - > Cot Reason Company A 'Ju^t Folks By EDGAR A. GUEST THE TRUTH ABOUT ENVY. I like to see the flowers grow, To see the pansles in a row, I tninu a wen-aepi garajeo a nne, And wish that such a one were mine, But one can't have a stock of flowers Unless he digs and digs for hours. My ground Is always bleak and bare, The roses do not flourish there, And where I once sowed poppy seeds Is now a tangled mass of weeds. I'm fond of flowers, but I admit, For digging I don't care a bit. 4 I envy men whose yards are gay, But never work as hard as they; I also envy men Who own More wealth than I have ever known. I'm like a lot of men who yearn . For joys that they refuse to earn. Ton cannot have the joys of work And take the comfort of a shirk, I find the man I envy most Is he, who's longest at his post. I could have gold and roses, too, If I would work, like those who do.
