OBSERVATIONS OF MACE SLOPER
NUMBER FIVE.
SLOPER ON HOTEL TABLES.
FAMILIARITY NARRATED BY HIMSELF.

Take people all round as YOU find them
in the world in general and in New York
in pariicular-draw Il line-and sum 'em
up. and the chanccis that YOU II find they're
pretty good-naturcI SCI as long rs you
don't cross them in small matters. But
YOU must BE very particular where You
draw the line.
One Great reason why New Workers are
Il good -naturcd set Of folks is because they
have little by little worked life into going
easy. When man has big matters in bust
ness hours on his mind, he is easier ac-
commodatcd in the oif-hours. People who
rush and steam it like sixty don't mind a
small upset when they've got the chance
Of biz rise before them. But there are
other reasons for this taking things easy,
and one of them is that they live 50 much
about town promiscuously; dining at ho-
tells, lunching ut restaurants and sleeping
very often wherever they find 1t. A man
with his own house who lays out pro-
gramme every day for his living, has ;
great deal to be anxious about, which nev
cr hits him when he has to eat, drink, ant
sleep Just as other folks fix it for him.
At a hotel, people are always, as one
may say, sort of out i'll company. They
put on their bcttcrmost RIG, brush thei
hair into an extra kink, and keep down th'
cross all they know how. Much practic,
in this line clfec,ually uses upa great many
ugly little didoes which are apt to ripen VI
in the bosoms of the blcsscdcst families
where there's no fiy-wheel of frequcn
company to keep down the steam.
Such notions often come into my hca,
when | sit down at hotel dinner tibl
and look around mt the folks. rcmembc
that alb )ut half of them are strangers
people who have always somehow locke,
at the dinner-lable as ono of the pryacie
Of life, n thing that they wouldn't car
about having even their best friends dro
in ON, without warning. If they got sucl
a warming. they would have better dis
with an extra pie or two, not to mention
Eincy china and the new forks. The pick
cdup dinners are holy family secrets, an,
so arc-b-t it's no use a-talking! Every
body is up to the feeling, which has afle
all a great deal more of what's creditabl
in it than of anything. And here at tn
hotel-tablc are the good folks with all tn
dinner religion tactics in their heads, sud
denly planted by the command of a head
waiterinto chairs which have got TO be their
because somebody has stuck them dow
with their hind legs up in the air, and thci
faces like as is were in the plates. l ncv
er see chairs put into tl.ce bespoken posi-
tons without fancying that they are some
how kneeling and praying, and sayin,
grace for the folks WOO are going to sit i
them, and who will probably forget to sa
anything Of the sort for themselves.
Wcll-to get started again-;here th
good folks with all their home notions G
dinner privacy, are stuck down IN Ion!
rows, opposite to the Lord knows who
alongside of the Lord knows what, boun,
to be fed the Lord knows how. In time
like these the ladics shine with uncomnol
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-05-15

Talking Of life, puts me in mind of what
Mrs. Twiggles said few days ago. She
said that dinner was good deal like life.
Mr.. Sloper,' says she, the soup is the ba-
by time of life
Exactly says l, considerable slop and
slobber.'
Not exactly, says she, i mean that it is
innocent and mild
.'Precisely' | replied, 'and spooney.'
The fish, she continued, is Il more nd
vanced period. 1t is like boyhood and girl
hood, when we begin to find something
more solic in life-'
Yes SAYS l, we begin to find that
we have to fork over to keep agoing'
We advance tomaturity,' said she with
out minding me, with more substantial
food, and people begin TO show what then
tastes are by what they choose
Yes answered |, and those that look
out best for themselves, and can manage
the walters well, get the best Helped. And
as for the side -dishes--'
Yes, Mr.. Slopcr, how do YOU regard tho
side -dishcs?'
With very great favor says |. The.
are the real tit-bits of life They arc
light, f;,ncilul, agreeable, and no,ional. In
fact they about answer to--toce.'
a very good iIca,' replied Mrs. L. wei
TO continue. Game corresponds to ;
more advanced period
Particularly if the game is a good dea
advanced in flavor
The pies and puddings and things, say'
the widow, 'are old age, when we require
little delicacics, and begin to be daint,
and particular. AS for dessert, | mus
own my powers of comparison are all a
fault
Tie dessert, SAYS !, shows what th'
fruits of life are, any how
And the cup of Coffee without Cream i
the dark termination
And the thimbe-full of cognac or Mar
ry skinno,' answered |, is the spirit whicl
ant dead yet, after all is wound up an(
! settled
That may be your spirit, says the wld
dow. Il don't pretend to carry out tn
comparison to such lcngths.' And as VI
really got 10 the end dofour dinner, l escort
el hcr to the ladies' parlor.
