JAMES’ PARISH Additions to the Raleigh Hotel and the Concordia Club. MATTERS OF INTEREST Considerable progress has been made in the work of erecting the extensive addition to the Raleigh Hotel, at the northeast cor- ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 12th street. The new part will have a frontage of eighty-five feet on 12th street and a depth of 100 feet, and will be eleven stories in height, with an elevation of 130 feet from curb to roof. The design belongs to the French school of architecture, and will harmonize with that of the main portion of the building. The first two stories will be built of light stone, and the balance of light gray brick, with trimmings of gray stone. Copper bay windows will project from several of the upper stories. The main entrance will lead into a large | lobby, with the, offices, elevators, etc., op- ‘o the right will be entrance and the main corridor of the present building. To the left will be the dining room, which will be { There will be nine bed room taining in all 150 rooms and sixty rooms.

Accord- ing to the plans prepared by Mr. Robert Stead, architect, the new structure will harmonize in design with that of the church. It will be unusually spacious for a city house and will stand detached. It will have a frontage of thirty-five fect and a depth of fifty-four feet, and the four sides will be built of stone of a dark shade. It will be a double house, with an entrance in the center. On the right side will be the , which will be finished in oak With a ceiling of the same material. A feature of this room will be a large ingle nook. On the opposite side of the hall will be the parlor and back of this the dining room, with kitchen separated by a butler’s pan- try. There will be four large bed rooms on the second floor and two bath rooms, and on the ‘third floor three good-sized bed rooms, Concordia Club Addition. An extensive addition nas just been com- pleted to the club house of the Concordia Club, at the northwest corner of 6th and E streets northwest. It has a frontage of feet and a depth of 47 feet, and is dé- signed to increase in many important re- spects the facilities of this already spa- cious home of this organization. The basement will be devoted to the bil- liard room and the bowling alleys, while on the first floor there will be the supper room and the gymnasium. The feature of the second floor will be the ball room, which will be 62 by 45 feet, and will be provided with the necessary dressing reoms, those for the men being in the gal- lery which encircles the ball room.

From the Ne York Sun. PARIS, July 15.—The French have an aphorism which says, “Animals feed, man eats, but only the Frenchman knows how to eat.” Sometimes they amplify this by adding that only the Frenchman krows what to eat, and they are often serious. It is a cardinal belief with many cf them that the English never see food other than raw beef and watery potatoes; that the Germans have knowledge only of sausage and sauerkraut, and that the Americans’ bill of fare is made up solely of fried ham and buck- wheat cakes. Now, the odd thing about all this is that rare roast beef has become the standard dish at all Paris restaurants, and that sausage, ham and sauerkraut are served largely everywhere, and that you csn always get them when you can get nothing else. It is a gastronomic change which has kept pace with the t e for beer, which is the common drink in Paris, except at meals. Even with food it has superseded wine, so that the two drinks are about in the proportion of one to four. This is not because the ordinary French wine has grown so bad, for the French beer is worse than anything e could be. France, in ccntradiction to Paris, is not @ country of snails and frogs’ legs, but of s one of Everybody of moderate and er means eats t it voked in many ways, und is dis ed which may indicate that the French fancy It. Next to tripe there is nothing you are so sure of getting at a French table @hote as stewed rabbit, especiaily if you do not have a preference for it. The French be- ing naturally a little suspicious since the jan siege, these rabbits ways sold with the heads on. The days of the at restauran’ of Paris, the gilded pa’ of the boutevards whose fame was world-wide, are said to be irrevocably pa There are but three of a score remaining, and the best known of these, the ‘afe Anglais, will b closed within the year. They no longer Con- y, too, the more modest s in the quiet ‘streets leading from the boulevards, which catered soiely to the race of gourmets bred by the second empire, ve diseppeared one by one, after inly trying to recruit clients from the new generatioi AS a matter of fact the gourmets, Paris’ pride, have died out. The modern prototype is the clubman who imi- tates everything English, and thinks it bad form to lose half his day eating and digesting. Now, instead of spending three hours over his midday breakfast at one of the old-time fashionable restaurants, dis- cussing the bill of fare with a boon friend as if it were the draft of an international treaty, this man hurries over a breakfast of a slice of cold beef, English bread and a pewter mug of ale, which he gets at one of the numerous English taverns which have flourished in Paris for a decade. Then he rushes off to some “sporting” event. This is the class of Frenchmen of whom the gourmet was made. But the gourmet isn't English, and the English have no more slavish worshiper than the modern fashionable Frenchman, except the mod- ern fashionable German. In other grades of French soctety, run- ning the gamut of professional and business men, students, shopkeepers and workmen, the charge is no less to be marked. The Bohemian is the only man who has not altered his prandial habits, and he doesn't count, because he doesn’t eat cften enough to form the habit. The most striking point in the change is hurry. Not so very long ago one was struck—if he were a foreigner, and not Latin—with the leisurely, not to say dilatory, atmosphere of a French res- taurant of any closs. Patrons and waiters alike seemed to be bound to kill time some- how. There was much talking, much ges- ticulating, and mere eating was an avoci ton. Today a French restaurant bears a srtiking similarity to the “quick lunch” places of America. There is bustle and confusion and when a man opens his mouth it is nearly always to put something into it, or to: scold the waiter. There-is an- other French aphorism. ‘Don’t scold the waiter, or he'll spit on the plates; but jhe modern Frenchman who loves to air his English by quoting “Teem iss moaney,” is content to run the risk in his eagerness for quick service. ‘When the French say that it is only they “that know how to eat,” they probably do not refer altogether to their manners at table, because that would mean too much. The person of other lands habituated to the use of a napkin might, for instance, feel inclined to criticise the universal French use of that article as a bib. Wherever you go in Paris, whether it be to dinner in a private family, to 2 hotél, or to a swell res- taurant, you find the napkin—in France an expansive spread—tucked into the mascu- line coltar just under the left ear, or into the feminine corsage; some women, indeed, tie it around the neck, thus permitting its ample folds to envelop the entire upper part of the body. There is at the present mo- ment on view in the shop windows of the Rue de Rivoli a large photograph of a state diplomatic dinner in which you can see searcely anything but nankins and heads. And the napkin-bib is really continental, not French only. ~ . i: Among other things, also, about which ] some people have prejudices, is the use to | dozen; western, | which the table knife is put in France.
