. The Suburbanite; a monthly magazine for those who are and those who ought to in interested in suburban homes . y,^ ■#:. 11 €t)e Suburbanite togs Ill phone for a table. Of course youwant to go to Giovannis? I sure do, came the answer from thefoot of the stairs. It was well that I had taken the precau-tion to pre-empt a table at Giovannis inadvance of our arrival for when we reachedthe quaint little cafe, not far from ]\IulberryBend, there were fully a score of personswaiting for places. It may seem a depravedtaste that draws us unresistingly to Giov-annis, with its environment of squalor andalmost reeking sordidness, but it is not theenvironment that appeals; it is the consum-mate art of the chef that is so potent amagnet. Of course, if one seeks a typicaldown-east dinner, without the piquant fur-bishing of the Florentine, Giovannis is noplace for such a conservative. Personally,such rations would seem to me like boiledpotatoes without salt or butter. Give methe spice and the relish that at least oneLatin luaster of cuisine can impart and therest of the world is welcome to its old-fashioned New Englan
