FAMOUS RESTAURANT.
BORCHARDT'S OF BERLIN,
Borchardt's, most famous of Berlin restarants, known to all in ternational "gourmets and to his- torians as the pot restaurant of the Kaiser and the plotting place of Foreign Office instriguors, is faced with: bankruptcy. To meet its creditors it must self" many [thousands of cool bottles from its famous cellars, and must rear- ganize with the participation of he London firm of Lyons and the Paris firm of Potet and Chabot."
"That change in the organization of Borchardt's. has a deep signi- ficance for the Berliner. It is an- other sign of the bankruptcy of monarchist glory, Borchardt's is now to be quite republicani
This restaurant, whose only com- petitors are Hiller's and Horcher's. is combined, curiously enough, with a delicatessen store which is as famous as the restaurant itself. Foro the German housewife and. hostess, planning a grand dinner, orders her hors d'ouvres, finds ex- quisite out-of-season vegetables, artichokes and asparagus and mushrooms, tomatoes and cucum- bers in mid-winter.

Here she buys cakes to serve, with ices, checses from France, fruits from the whole world over. If she wants grapefrult-and Germany has cultivated the taste even as England has done here they are, plump and firm us when they left California or Florida. Here are grapes from Brussels,
big as plums; greenhouse. strawberries and prodigious prices. Every woman who entertains, in Berlin knows Borchardt's and has an account there..
But the other Borchardt's, the restaurant, is more exclusive. It cannot entertain huge crowds. It is but two narrow rooms, rich in crimson demask and old walnut, quiet, reserved, elegant, "with kitchen which does not bow to any in Germany and to few in France. This room belongs to the historic relies of the Willhelminian period. It is mentioned in every book of memoirs of this time. It was as important to the Berlin of the Kaiser as was the Royal Palace- 'an institution. It had its regular clients, and they were the men who made high politics in those days. To them and to the other regular clients bille were sent only once a year. They had their own tablos there, entertained there, took luncheon there, year in and year out. It was the loss of this aristocratic clientele that first brought Borchardt's into difficul- ties.
When the Upper House sat here at Borchardt's it was impossible for the uninitiate to get a table; the little room was full of mana- gers, and half of the Counts of Prussia were there. Here was the famous luncheon table of Baron von Holstein, that strange and sinister Foreign Office figure so admirably described by Emil At Ludwig in his "Wilhelm II." this table Kiderlen-Waechter, whose letters, published last year, were one of the events of the sea- son and an important contribution to Wilhelminian history, was to be scen almost daily. Here sat Eulenberg, the Kaiser's pet, the sentimental weakling who played such a role in German policy- making What intrigues were made here! What feasts were

Of all this, nothing remains but an inexhaustible wine cellar and perfect food. The guests who fre quent Borchardt's to-day must pay. their bills on the dot, and must tell the walter whether they want their steaks rare or well done, and whe ther they want truffles with their chicken. In the old days the kit chen knew the wishes of its clients as well as the cooks in their own houses did-probably better.
But tourists will be glad that' England and France have come to the aid of this institution of the Kaiser's palmy days. Tired of the. heavy and rather unimaginative food of the average German res taurants, they will find here at choice of what the world has to ofter, cooked by artists, served Iwith distinction. And those regi
dents of new Berlin whose purses don't allow many dinners at Bor- chardt's will still treat themselves and their guests, now and then, to dalaties from next door.
A strike of Government em- ployees in the Australian Depart- ment of Posts and Telegraphs has been averted by the Chancellor's promise to, introduco a minimum monthly wage of £4 88. The de mund. was for one, of £5 and the settlemont will be a compromise.
