OF the city it is as familiar as the Capitol

Washington perhaps possesses more OF
these queer portable curbstone hotels
than any city in the country. They are
characteristic of the Capital, and, al
though other cities have their sidewalk
peddlers. there is none which can boast
of the picturesque hotel pushcart such as
lends so old fashioned an air to the busy
thoroughfares Of Washington. They are
a product of the South, and Southern
cities sione possess them in the height
of their artisticalIy crude development IN

They are not to be confounded with the
ice cream carts. These are later pro-
duct, an imitation. and there is nothing
picturesque about them.
The stress of modern competition. how
ever, is slowly but surely making the per-
ambulating hotel a thing of the past.
