July 13, 1938 Manhattan Cafe Features Food of Roman Epicures By JEANNE LESEM UPI Correspondent r Vr rrrT New Yori (UPI) The of fare that includes business lunch Is as old as im nerial Rome, according to - - . JDCig Alan Lewis, manager of a new served with Damascus plum serves meals in the3 tradition of early Rynan feasts. The Romans talked shop a orivate banquets beeause there were no fancy restau rants, he explained, but to- dav'n VIP's do business in a Dublic dining room as grand as any banquet hall the Cae sars knew, o You don't have to be a busi ness bcutive to eat at The Forum of the Twelve Caesars But in the few weeks it has been open, this restaurant has become a favorite iyich and dinner spofj lor enany sucn men and women. The management, Restau rant Associates, fiic. did the Interior in what it called colors of Qncient Rome, with dark red fabrics covering the walls. Waiters ang captains wear iackets in purple and red. The etjablishment got its name bm early Italiaa por traits of the 12 Qpeftrs, which bane on the walls. Butthere's not a classical coluntf in sight. 2he restaurant provides conventional chairs and tables and banquette seats instead of the couches and low tables of imperial Rome. Fancy Items And the menu is in Eng lish, not LiJin.O The food, however, is claim ed to be authentically early Roman. "Straight from Apicius' cookbook," said Lewis.

Truffle-stuffed quail Cleo patra, wrapped in Macedon ian vine leaves and baked in hot ashes. Venison sauteed with truf fles and sauce vitae. Vegetables served whole, in the early Roman fashion. A staggering array of des serts, including several vari eties of thin pancakes served with a flaming sauce. And so many other flaming dishes that a guest almost wishes he'd worn an asbes tos suit. History Lessons The Forum may well be the only restaurant in the world that gives its staff history les sons before sending1 them into the dining room. "Many of our guests are interested in the history of the'period and we like to answer as many of their questions as we can," Lewis explained. If the menu leads you to ex periment at home with Ro man recipes, we can offer these hints from Apicius, via the Forum: Manv fowl and meat dishes were cooked in a pickle mari nade or a combination of wine, broth (or stock), vinegar and oil.

Portland The biggest flo ral clock in the world is being planned for the International Garden of Tomorrow, part of the Oregon centennial exposi tion at Portland next summer. Edward L. Boatright, man ager of the garden and re tired assistant fire chief in Portland, said the clock will tell accurate time. The hands and numbers alike will be made of living flowers, and the hands will be powered by the works of an electric clock. Mr. Boatright said the works alone will be as big as a desk. Smaller clocks telling the time at several capitals around the world will flank the huge exhibit, and flags of the nations that send flow ers and plants for the garden will fly nearby. Manager Boatright said a floral clock at Washington, D.C., is 26 feet across, and he estimated that the Portland display may be 30 feet In diameter. - The hearty ex-fireman de clared: ' "Some way, we are going to guarantee that a person can see the whole clock at once and photograohers can snaD the whole thing without going up in an airplane." He said that for this pur pose, it may be necessary to build the clock on a slope, with the 12 o'clock side high er than the 6 o'clock side. The idea for the clock comes from Cnristchurch, New Zea land, by way of Rolla J. Crick, reporter for the Ore gon Journal at Portland. Mr. Crick saw the clock at Christ church on his way back from an assignment in Antartica and suggested a similar dis play at the Oregon centennial exposition. The Portland clock will be self-starting, and if the elec tricity should be cut off mo mentarily, the clock will re start itself. Boatright said that in such an eventuality, it will be re-set and tell'1 ac curate time again. Near the 12 o'clock side of the clock will be a candle which it is said will also be Long Fur Stole Back in Fashion United Press International The long and narrow fur stole returns to fashion this fall. Some of the stoles hang all the way to a dress hem line, even after being draped boa style around the shoulders. Furs used include mink, silver fox, badger and Russian lynx. Resort accessories get a lit tle wilder each season. One beach bag guaranteed to get plenty of attention looks like a smiling mouth, with a- full set of teeth on display. An other handbag, of wicker, is a replica of a miniature French poodle. the biggest in the world, about 25 feet tall, hug symbol of Oregon's 100th birthday as a state.
