BLIND MAN'S BUFFET
"Blind Man's Buffet," .which. WM presented by Mrs. Mary Adams in • 8.8.C. television programme, was reported to be one of the most entertaining events yet televised. M. Eoulestin presided at a table at which were the Dowager Lady Sway tilling, Mr. Robin "Adair, and 3 company of well-known gourmets. All. were blindfolded and led to a buffet laden with food arid drink. /They, were then asked to describe the food placed before them, which, of ' course,' they were permitted to taste. The result was extraordinary. The women easily beat the men on food by 7£ marks to 4, but on drinks the men gained an advantage by just half .a mark. The Dowager Lady Swaythling said after the show: "It was. one of the most cheery parties I have ever attended There was more spontaneous humour than one would meet in a month of Sundays. . Orie man could not tell champagne from cider. I had a difficult one—Grade A: milk and goat's milk—but I gained a point on it" ■ ' ■ :.' ■■" ■:"::
