LONDON, October 16.—Clubmen are complaining that dining is rapidly becoming a lost art. The estblishment of a full-fledged revue at the dinner hour in one of London’s largest hotels has provoked no end of protest. Theaters complain that hotels are really becoming show houses without having theatrical licenses, and gour- mets say the day of artistic dining is over. “How can one appreciate delicate dishes and fine wines when there are all sorts of distractions in the dining room?”’ one frantic clubman asks. “Jazz orchestras were bad enough, but now one gets mad reveues and between acts a lot of wild folks dance the Charleston in and out among the tables and make it impossible to eat in peace.” Cafes which had no music and no dancing are gradually falling in line with the demand for entertainment at meal time. Midnight follies and after-theater revues have been nu- merous for some time, but the dinner- hour reveue is a novelty. SESQUI FLOAT IN PARADE. Arlington County to Be Represent- ed in J. 0. U. A. M.
