The menu was printed in French but the gentleman who came in for dinner did not intend to admit to his lack of acquaintance with foreign tongues.
He took the bill-of-fare in his hands and studied it with an air of great intentness. Then he aimed a stout forefinger at a certain item near the top of the card and to the waiter who was bending over his shoulder he said:
"To start off with,I"ll take some of that!"
"I"m sorry sir," said the servitor, "but the orchestra is playing that!"
