One of the greatest charms of New York life is its wide variety of eating places. A party of artists started out the other evening in an automobile to have a progressive dinner, beginning, of course, with cocktails in a studio. A five min­ utes’ run to Mulberry street took them to an Italian restaurant, where for hors d’oeuvers they had anti­ pasto, peppers in oil with olives. The next stop was at a Russian restaurant on Second avenue for soup, borscth, the peasant cabbage I soup. At a Japanese cafe in West Fifty-ninth street, they had fried shrimps, then to a Turkish res­ taurant nearby for Shiah Kebab, lamb roasted on skewers. At a French rotisserie they had roast chicken, and after stopping in a German place for “Kuchen,” they wound up with coffee in an Austrian pastry shop—and the whole dinner took hardly more than two hours. ^~\jour best breads •Supreme The United States Bakery Capacity 75000 Quality Loavta a D
