Perhaps a few years hence, when the present requirements in foreign languages begin to bear fruit, the usual breakfast dish will be "oeuf cocotte a la creme--coquettish eggs", as Mr. Britten reports it. Chicken hash will appear incognito as "hachis de voloille aux haricots verts" while a rib of veal will adopt the ambiguous disquise of "cootie de veaux," one of the "noisette" dishes.

The story, it is remembered, is that of Carmen, the cigarette girl, the prettiest and most coquettish of all in the factory, who throws a bouquet to Jose, a brigadier at Seville. Jose falls in love. A quarrel ensues among the girls. Carmen, declared the assailant, is ordered to prison. She fascinates the luckless brigadier, Jose, until he connives at her escape, and is himself placed under...
