CARELESS COOKING.

The ban Francisco Call gives, in writing ot club criticism, an example of a calm and consciously hopeless protest against careless cooking. The extract may not be quite relevant to the ladies’ column, but it sufficiently appeals to all the better feelings of feminine readers who sometimes imagine, from what they hear from the men folk, that club menu is perfection—to warrant insertion: “Gentlemen: I have no desire to be captious about the service at our club, but I have the honour to inform you that I took luncheon here to-day with three friends of mine who are inclined to be a little particular about their food. Among other things for luncheon an omelet was served. It contained only three flies. lam one of the oldest members of the club and jealous of its reputation, and I found this omelet embarrassing. In order to make an equable division of the ome'et, it was necessary either to divide one of the flies — which is a test of skill—or else forgo a flj myself. I respectfully suggest that in future when an omelet is served for four persons it should be with either (a) four flies, or (b) with no flies at all.”
