Show Restaurant Cook's Idea. A young man who dines quite fre. fluently in a French restaurant, whose reputation is based on the unvarying excellence of the dishes served, sent for the chef the other night to compliment com-pliment him on a poulet en casserole, "I like you," said the cook, "because you never bring any women in this place. They ruin a cook and a restaurant. res-taurant. A gentleman who comes in alone for his dinner regards the dishes and pays his whole attention to the food he is eating. But when he is with a woman! Bah! He laughs, he talks, he regards only his companion, his attention is distracted, the cook and his work are forgotten. It is not popularity that ruins a restaurant, it is the women and music."
