just One of Washincton's Many Advantages
Discovered by a Drummer.
"Tve been in nearly every city in the United
States" said commercial traveller to a STAR
reporter this morning in an uptown hotel, 'and
frankly confess that you can live better on
less money in Washington than in any other
place.
Heretofore had bestowed the biscuit upon
San Francisco Now / give the whole bakery
and wheat field to Washington. Out in Frisco.
in the popular-priced restaurants, they have
what they term 'three-ten-cent- dishes-for-
twenty-five cents system. That is, you can
order plate of soup, piece of meat, fish or
coffee or any three 1O-cent dishes for two bits
or quarter.
Just now" continued the drummer. with a
on't-give-it-away grin, I'm doing the eco
nomical act. That is, I'm living IN a furnished
room, eating in low-priced restaurants and
charging up &c day hotel bills to the firm
I'm going to New York tomorrow and want
some spending money.
"Candidly, was dumbfounded. In some Of
the big restaurants-and the little ones. too
which are such a distinctive feature in Wash
ington, one is served with soup. roast beef or
other meat, two vegetables. coffee, milk or tea,
bread and butter and pie or pudding. Here are
eight individual articles of food. The price is
10 cents, or cents each. And the joke of it is
that everything is of excellent quality and with
out stint. For rs cents this allowance is nearly
doubled. How they do it, pay their bills. wais-
ers. rent DC. is mystery to yours faithfully.
In New York We pay Is cents for plate Of
soup.
And this calls up another feature peculiar to
Washington, namely, the Independence of its
women. They constitute nearly third Of
the restaurants customers. They dine alone.
Nothing strange about that? No. not here; but
you don't see ladies unaccompanied by escorts
at dinner or breakfast in New York-that is,
very rarely. Here it is the natural result Of the
employment of SO many females in the govern
ment departments. They are here, they are
alone and they must eat like to see it, for
every American admires his countrywoman's
independence and ability to care for herself"
