That such a meal, however, would merely have been an appetizer for the epicure of 46 years ago was brought to light today by A. Clyde Morgan, 1320 Twenty-first street. As evidence of what the members of the George C. Whiting Lodge, No. 22, F. A. A. M., ate at their tenth anniversary supper at the old Morgan House in Georgetown, which was con- ducted by his father, Richard W. Morgan, for the insignificant sum of $1.50 a plate. Mr. Morgan forwards to The Star the following tattered menu which he has just discovered: Raw Stewed Oysters. Stewed Terrapin. Roast Turkey. Roast Chicken. Koast Duck. Saddle Venison. Fried Oysters.
