An Encl,sh Res1anrant.

Different countries produce different
foods. Perhaps that is the reason why
a description of a railway restaurant
in England sounds SO curious to Amer
lean ears. This terminus restaurant
corresponds to the American lunch
counter where pie and coffee are the
staple refreshment of hurried hungry
man. Patrons crowd the English
place three deep and wait for the front
row to finish eating and depart. One
elderly woman drinks hot spirit and
water and eats sandwiches; beside her
country couple devour buns and milk
how British "buns'' sounds!-and a
busy man eats sponge cake and drinks
port wine. Can one imagine a Chi
cago broker rushing into a quick
lunch counter with a demand for
sponge cake? He might as we'll ask
for coach and four. In this London
restaurant a mother of family re-
gales herself and her meek husband
with ginger beer and cakes, and a
nervous young clergyman asks for a
glass of milk. Buns, sponge cake,
milk and beer-the menu is little diff
ferent from those on this side of the
water.

The old woman had chopped off the

roughness of the job. Later he found
many similar instances. Thus he says:
