They wished to have everything com
plete, and going to Taft they gave him
carle blanche for serving them up such a
feast as they wanted. Preparations be-
vtn forthwith, and all the resources
appliances of Taft’s cuisine were brought
into requisition. , . .
But meanwhile the wives of the eight
gentlemen got wind of the affair. They
learned to their just indignation that
their husbands were preparing for a grend
feast for their solo edifioduon, and that
I eight plates only, were to be laid at their
’ table. Without waiting for an explana
tion they .dispatched a messenger to
Taft’s and duplicated their husbands _ or
der, to be served in a separate dining
room. The bills of fere were to be iden
tical, with the exception of cigars, Mid
tho strictest silence was enjoined. Aot
even a hint or a whisper was to pass be
tween the husbands and the landlord.
The hour appointed for the, two dinners
came, and the husbands sat do.wn to then-
