One of the rich men from the West who sojourned temporarily iu New ork last winter decided to return to his home town this year, but not wishing to deprive himself of all liia new luxuries, he took with him the French chef he had engaged here, and to " I1,,ni he was indebted for a large share of the social success his family had enjoyed in New York. Rut in the Western town the powers of this expensive adjunct to his household seemed to vanish. The food was uot in the least as it had been. Finally his employer summoned the Frenchman and complained as eloquently as lie could of the deterioration of the man's abilities. Its not my fault, answered the 'hef with eomplete composure. I was engaged for New Y'ork and you brought me here. If you had allowed me to stay there your cooking would have been as good ns ever. Rut you brought me out to this place, miles away from Blanks. What can you expect? I cannot order things from tuere as I did last winter. The frankness of the explanation astonished the employer. He had not realized that the chef's salary combined with a little juggling with the kitchen accounts would enable him to buy most of bis delicacies at a restaurant.
