SIMPSON HousE-One of the most popular restau-
rants in the Union is the Simpson House on the cor
ner of 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.
longs to his profession His fried oysters de-
hcious that 900 devoured the day after the
Pennsylvania election by the anxious expectants of
both parties. Such oysters have been unknown in
washington since the days of Letourno.
All the other dishes usually found at restaurants
are prepared in artistic style by Simpson. His cook
is disciple of Brillat de Savarn and fails t.
achieve a triumph of gastronomy. Do any doubt our

for it they will be found thereafter daily worshppers
at the Simpsonan shrine.
