TRENCH LAWS OF THE TABLE
Laws of the table have just been drawn up and issued by the Association Regionaliste Gastronomique de Paris, and a Frenchman who ignores any of these law's is considered as not knowing how to get the best out of what the table can provide. There are two rules a real “ gourmet” will never break if he docs not want' to lose, caste entirely, and they are not to smoke during the meal or get up and dance before it is completely over. “ Smoking and dancing should not be indulged in,” say the rules, “ until the meal is ended and coffee served.” And the coffee, it is stipulated, should be served hot in a heated cup. •
