The recent conclaves of vegetarians in
America and England havo been of advan
tage even to tho scoffers. Tho foes of
nnlmal food lmvo at least demonstrated
that such things as beans and peas and
cauliflower may be o artistically dressed
ns to cause even tlio gourmet to regard
them as ends in themselves, and not merely
as tho subsidiary adjuncts of a chop or
steak. A London paper, commenting on
tho vegetarian, says "that tho majority of
Englishmen ent moro ment than is good
for them n habit which Is duo not so much
to tho perversity of their dispositions as to
tho Incom.iotonco of their cooks." It Is n
little queer, by tho way, that these Hritlsh
cooks, who aro denounced at home for in
competency, find easy employment and big
salaries In tlio kitchens of wealthy Ameri
cans who think nothing worth their use
unless It is Imported.
