them wen managed and attractive.
There are all classes, from the place
where regular course is served, down
to the counter where d glass OF milk
and piece of pie or bread is the stock
in trade. When it is considered that
nearly every one takes his or her lunch
or dinner inside the grounds, the ne
cessity, Of SO many eating houses is un-
derstood, and every one without an ex-
ception transacts money-making bus
mess. Soda-water fountains, cigar and
popcorn stands. beer and, lemonade
stands are as proportionately plentiful
as saloons are in Chicago, and that is
sayingsa great DEAL The cafes and
restaurants are divided in several kinds
There is the French, the, Turkish, the
FYiennese, Algerian, Tunisian, German,
American (numberso of them), Moor
ish, and a. genuine oldlfashioned dairy.
In the foreign cafes $ are = to
be- found black.eyed, q magnifcent-
looking houris, whose attractive
charms are used to allure custom
ers. In the Tunisfan cafe there. is a
handsome woman, who, dressed as q
ballet-dancer, sings the airs and dances
to the music of her country ostensibly,
Twill add on my own account. But l
am led to believe that all these Turks,
Egyptians, Moors. Algerians, 'Tunisians,
are clever counterfeits, being nothing
more than very pretty French and Ital-
ian women, as well as the males, dressed
lin the costumes of the different coun--
tries. I have found, that they all speak
the English language very cleverly.
The japanese women in the Japanese
bazaar are genuine representatives, of
that country, and their almond eyes,
delicate olive skin,s and piquant and
naive expression receive good deal of
from the male visitors, and
excite a good deal of curiosity In the
minds of the young American ladies.
At nearly all of these foreign cafes the
oneinterest seems to be to make all the
money that it is possible to make. They
charge high prices for every thing,
while at the American restaurants the
prices are generally reasonable. For
instance, walked into the Turkish cafe
to-day, and asked for a cup Of
coffee. They gave me one, and
an exceedingly diminutive one at
that, not more than three or four thim-
blefuls, for which the charge was 80
cents, and in addition I had to pay for
the Turkish pipe and tobacco, which
was used with the coffee. But that cof-
fee was most delicious, delicate to the
taste, and aromatic to the smell, as it
was possible to be- The Turkish cafe
is arranged true to Oriental custom,
and it is usually well filed with gentle
men who come to sip the delightful cof-
lee, smoke the long Turkish pipe, and
3gle the pretty women. But beware of

ell into their snare yesterday afternoon
1t lunch time. The place was so allur-
ng that the temptation could not be
,esisted. There was no bill of fare with
price attached, and for. a very reason
lble lunch the bill was $1.79, which, at
he American stand, would cost 60
