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. Next night
me five men were again together, and
srch had brought a woman to pass

painted lamp with the most beautiful
pink tiger Illy shade, which was just scat
to Mrs. Wright from Paris. The lamp
stood on a mirror and around It, reflected
