substitute for the inn in England, says
Gunton's Magazine. Il furnishes,
minus the Intoxicating stimulants,
similar social features, but IL Is tackled
on to the same social habits that the
inn developed. In this country those
habits were not formed BY the saloon
experiences, and the attempt to estab-
bah the coffee house as substitute
for the saloon necessarily lacks that
social incentive which exists In Eng
land. The coffee house here takes on
he feature Of the restaurant rather
