This Should Make You Hungry—

‘World's Finest Restaurant’ Found Unchanged Since The Year. 1940

By WILLIAM H. STON EMAN BORDEAUX, France, Nov. 29 (CDN) — Wars come and go, cabinets fall, and generations of- French gourmets pass on to the Elysian fields, sped thither by cirrhosis of the liver, hardening of the arteries and ul- ® cers of the j stomach. But the Cha- § pon Fin, which * is probably the finest restaurant in the whole wide world, remains if its incredible, impeccable self. Our disgust at finding members of the

Mr. Stoneman

French cabinet stuffing themselves with sole and pulet de bresse and crepes suzette evaporated by the. time we had started on a bottle of Chateau Yquem 1918 and a red mullet. Then we caught a hoat through the-Submariné cluttered waters of the Bay of Biscay and ngver saw the place again until

"last night.

The Chapon Fin achieves what millions of other restaurants try to achieve and rarely do—a peaceful, homelike, yet distinguished atmosphere. No waiters rush at you as you pass in unger the 1890 model canopy of colored glass, Just off the Place des Grands Hommes, and enter the quiet corridor. You pass a cosy old-

” » ” THE ROOM is spacious .and high - eceilinged with white columns supporting the roof. There may be 40 or 50 tables

but they are so well spaced, half-hidden by palms, that they look like a dozen. A head waiter who doesn’t look like a head waiter pleasantly asks you to choose a table; in this restaurant you can have the one that pleases you. Near the entrance is a cocktail space,.cansisting of several armchairs grouped around a table with a vase of pink carnations, and an old Persian car-

gin, rum and other sdilors’ drinks. We ordered an egg in aspic and a roast quail but were

forced to settle for a woodcock the quail had all been eaten at noon. u » ~ THERE WAS a long discussion about the wine. The Chapon Fin has the finest tellar of Bordeaux sported by any restaurant in the world and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The sommelier wanted us to have either a Chateau Lafitte 1916 or a Mouton Rotschild 1918. Then again he thought

"that we might have an Ausone

1921 or perhaps an Haut-Brion 1924. We finally settled on a Chateau Haut-Simard, a fine=St. Emilion from 1928—one of the greatest of all the great vintage years in the Bordeaux region. It cost a mere 900 francs (about $2.25) and turned out to be a truly great wine, comparable to the magnificent Medocs which cost twice as much. Our companion, who came from thé State Department and thought that he had reached the heights when he had eaten Peiping duck in China, began to murmur when he dug into the eggs in aspic.

Hntensive Torts Made—

The egg ‘was surmounted by a heavy slice of trufle—from nearby Perigord-—and rested on a layer of creamy foie gras from Strashourg. When ‘he started on® the woodcock he put down his hardware and said, simply: “How long has this been going on.” » n Ld

EACH OF US had half a bird, just ripe enough, served with creamed chestnuts and a small crouton—a slice of bread fried in butter and covered with creamed woodecock livers,

After that there was a salad, lettuce thar had been picked during the day with a good tart oil and vinegar dressing. We noticed that they had not used olive ¢ oil.

Experts Say Siamese. Twins Can't Be Separated Safely

CHICAGO, Nov: 29 (UP)—Doctors” at University of Illinois resald yesterday that the Brodie Siamese twins can not be separated safely. They said the decision was reached after four weeks of in-

{tensive tests here on the twins, {Rodney and Roger.

The infants, joined at the top of their skulls, were born Sept. Royt Brodie at East Moline, Ill. The mother had said she would not permit surgery if it meant death to one of the infants. Doctors factor in

said the

the determining decision against

{surgery was a congenital heart |condition suffered by both boys.

ing the tests the twins turned blue and had to be placed under oxygn. Carlier tests had determined that the babies have separate brains and nervous systems and, as nearly as could be determined, separate circulatory systems. Specialists said another factor against. surgery was the lack of sufficient skull covering for both infants if they were separated. They sald a plastic scalp would. . have been required for one,
