SANDWICH EXHIBITION
a note by queen yictoria. An exhibition of sandwiches by the leading Hungarian chefs was held in udapest recently. Though sandwiches were supposed to have been invented by a nobleman (after whorn they were named), they were deseribed by the compiler of "The Cook's Oracle" as definitely unfashiionable in his day. It is only fair to add that the author regretted the low esteem in which they were held, and aseribed it chiefly to "the bad manner in which they are commonly prepared." It seemed to be considered, he said, that to cut the bread with a sharp knife was the only essential, and that the "lining" could be "composed of any offal odds and ends that cannot be sent to the table in any other form." Perhaps Queen Yietoria or her Court offioials, may be credited with doing something toward the sandwich's rehabilitation, for the Queen noted in her journal the delight with which she found, during a pause in the long and tedious Coronation ceremony, a table in the St. Edward's Chapel "covered with sandwiches, bottles of wine, etc., for her refreshment.
