The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1889-02-17

TO the most expensive, equally well and
carefully prepared and served. They do not
do cheap work or seek cheap trade. Their
motto, which pervades all the details OF
their house, is "Not how cheap, but how
good and inviting" The best OF everything
is bought and used. Everything is pure
and without adulteration. Much OF their
material is imported by themselves, or
bought directly from the importer, and
what they offer their patrons is pure, gen
uine, unadulterated, healthful Sometimes
people are deferred from going there by
the false idea that because everything
is neat, pure and dainty, II must be eX-
pensive. These things are not expensive,
although they do add immensely to the
comfort OF the guest, and to the good re-
ceived from the food; an economical or an
expensive meal can be gotten as may he
desired, but each receives the same neat
ness, care and attention; simple lunch OF
q cup OF pure, hcalthful, invigorating, gen
uinc coffee served with pure cream mot
milk, with crisp, dainty rolls and the
purost OF butter, costs no moro than
cheap meal at some place where all the
senses are offended, and the extra food
taken is lost in the disgust OF the sur
roundings. The soda water counter is
gem; the fountain is Of marble and was
made in Belgium expressly for them at n
cost of 81 $3.50 the syrups are contained In
glass cans in no case touching the metal,
and the very sight of the apparatus in
duccs sense OF cOOlncss, which,
enhanced by the eighteen kinds OF
syrup, tho various mineral waters or
the fashionable phosphatcs moxie,
malto, etc, needs the hot soda water
apparatus nj the other end OF the counter
10 restore The proper equilibrium. Across
the room is the fascinating counter with
its 1913 kinds Of candy, all home made
also tine French fruits imported by them,
and the conserved rose leaves, violets and
lilac blossoms. All these pure, hoalthiul,
home made candies are sold at 80 cents q
pound in tasty boxes, while the fancy
French conscrycs are daintiy used for love
tokens ut $500 merely pound, but best
OF all is the plain old fashioned tally OF
maple, chocolate or molasscs at % cents,
such ms we had when we were children.
Here is en- elegant assortment Of pretty
baskets, all imported by Floyd 4 Mooney,
from the plain tasty beauties 10 the satin
lined lovely work baskets aud sewing bas-
kcts. These, when filed with candies

baskets are sold "a wedding and birthday
presents, making prettier, better show
ing for the money than much greater
amount expended in icwclrv aud knick-
nlcks. Here were some OF the pretty
little boxes Of dainty Italian pcppcrmnls

and imported by only one firm there. II
viii well repay anyone 10 look in on this
thoroughly managed and perfectly ar
ranged place, just 10 sec how much taste
aud comfort can be concentrated in ono
house, even II one only desires a plain
cup Of coffee or simple, quiet lunch, all
are cordially and courteously received and
the lesson Of beauty, comfort aud neat
ness will never be lost. After this walk
the world looked better aud brighter 10
mo and came away feeling vastly more
human, and wrote TO my wife that n she
evidently took NO much solid comfort in
scOlding me, 20 write 80 again, ~ the
knowledge that was thus giving
her a pleasure, would take away all the
sting Of the blowing up, though perhaps
by the time that letter comes tho human
ling influence OF my visit 10 the rcstau-
rant may have passed away, and | won't
relish the scoding 80 much after all.
