TFMPTING LUNCHES.
I verify believe there is no more active
and energetic woman on the Exposition
Grounds than Mrs. Gill, of the Male Or
phan Asylum. She is ever on the alert
and up and doing. Hundreds OF people
call at the restaurant over which Mrs
Gill has the supervision, and get a nice
hot lunch or a sandwich, as the case
may be. The restaurant is located some
fifty or sixty feet from the entrance to
the Music Hall. a convenient place Tor
everybody In the building. Mrs. Gil
was surrounded yesterday by half dozen
or more assistants who had their hands
full serving the people. Cold meats, oys-
ters. coffee. fruits and all the dainties
are always on hand and you can be sure
that you will be properly waited on. The
proceeds of this enterprise are devoted to
the Male Orphan Asylum, worthy
all You would be surprised TO see how
many people got their lunch there yes
terday.
WE'LL TRAINED ANIMALS.

force of men were busily engaged get
