ami THE COURIER B H days ago, when the conversation turned to the "horseless age." Trolley cars, automobiles, and airships bad their share of the talk, when one of the party, a young man well known In New York clubland, said: "I wonder If they wilt ever Invent sllverless dinners." "Sllverless dinners!" exclaimed the others. "Yes; dinners at which one will not have to bother with knives, forks, or spoons; where everything: will be pre pared in such fashion that one can. simply take it in his fingers and still not require a pail of water alongside of him." "I doubt it," said another. "In fact, I don't see how such a thing could very well be." "Well," continued the man who had made the proposition, "I am willing to wager the cost of a dinner that I can get up one which you will call excellent, and we won't have a piece of silver on the table 33e wager was at once taken, and the 3g man sought the chef.
