Woodworking women. These are the
cheapest of all, and what they sell is as
clean and sweet and dainty as the most
fastidious housewife could wish. 1t is to
these places that the wisest housekeepers
resort for many good things which they
could not produce for so small cost at
home.
But it is in restaurant living OF the
cheaper sort that the most instructive
phase of the subject is to be found. Along
with very large foreign population have
come special means for catering to its
needs. The prevailing foreigners repre-
sented by cheap restaurants are Germans,
French, Italians and Spanish. The cater
ers to these nationalities have brought
with them all their native dizziness in pro-
ducing and serving the most tempting
dishes at the smallest cost, and have intro
duced into their art that fine skill in
economy which the experience of many
generations has enabled them to master.
And the economical American may be
sure, when he takes meal in one of these
restaurants, that, no matter how i'll trained
may be his palate to the curious dishes
served him, the presence of foreigner
diners congenlal. to the environment Will
be a sufhclent guarantee that nothing I'M
wholesome will be set before him.
San Francisco has an uncommonly large
element of educated Americans, mostly in
the arts and professions, who are loosely
classed as "Bohemians." In stronger evil
dence than these are certain social sets
which. through organization and a re-
strfcted range of tastes, governed by alto
NH IA s or xyn
their own round of pleasures that are
evolved entirely out of their own resources,
and perhaps they have tendency to
shrink from what they may regard as ex-
cursions into the regions of the bizarre.
These represent the distinctively Amer
lean idea of strict propriety fashioned
after the Anglo-American standard. They
are wholly separate (barring few points
of social contact) from that large number
of free American spirits who see in the
large foreign population an opportunity to
temper the rigidity of American modes of
living with those soft, elastic and infinitely
various resources of wholesome life which
prevail in Europe and have not yet been
generally incorporated in the American
scheme.
1t is these "Bohemians" who know best
the fine story of life which may be read in
the cheap restaurants kept by foreigners in
San Francisco. Environment does not de-
ter them. If they discover cheap, dark
little corner III the Latin Quarter, where
soft-voiced anG velvet fingered sonora
serves the finest little Spanish dinners,
steep hills and ill-ighted alleys have no
terrors for them; and it is these. besides
the poor among US. who understand best
the value of the delightful little restau-
rants which the less opulent foreigners
have way of hiding in the most unlikely
corners of the City.
