Clarence Scott Has Made the Cremerie
a Fine Restaurant.

To dine well is one of the joys Of
living.
Recognizing this fact, a Topeka man
has made 1t possible for homeless, or
other Topekans, to enjoy all the COM
forts and advantages of one of the most
modern and up-to-date cafes.
Elbert Hubbard has eulogized Fred
Harvey for the admirable eating house
service which he has provided on the
Santa Fe railroad and it now remains
for some person of equal talent to
eulogize Clarence Scott, who has re-
modelled and revamped the Cremerie
restaurant so that one cannot recog-
nize it as the same place it was few
months ago.
Entering at the south door which
leads to the main dining room, one en-
with furniture of the mission type for
the sole use of ladies. Easy chairs pre-
sent an inviting appearance and out
of-toWn ladies who are tired out with
days shopping find them attractive. a
dainty desk is also provided and fur
nished with writing materials for those
who have correspondence to attend to.
Ranging along the walls on both sides
of the big dining room from front to
rear are tables for one, two or three
persons, and in the center of the room
is row of tables each accommodating
party of from six to ten persons.
Half of the pleasure of living and
eating is in the environment Conse-
Qu6ILly. MI Scout mas uldUG the OiE-
merle one of the most attractive places
in Topeka, if not in the whole west.
Tonight an orchestra will play during
the evening while ice cream and cake
and lunches are being served. This is
to be special feature at the Cremerle
during the entire summer season on
Wednesday and Saturday evenings,
and it will only be a question OF short
time until Mr.. Scott's cafe will be an
especially attractive and popular place
rT0T61ra those ndTflGul3T nights.
The side walls of the large dining
room are covered with IincruSta at
big expense and finished in plain white,
and the high ceiling of a pretty design
of pressed steel is also pure White,
which with the beautiful white linen
on the tables sets the room off in per
feet style. New imported dishes from
Germany are used on the dining room
tables and the room extends an lnvit-
ing appearance with the glass and sill
verWare polished and the tables arrang-
ed in neat order.
The walters are uniformed and are
presided over by a head waiter whose
duty it is to see that all are seated
without confusion while a porter sees
to it that the floors, furniture etc, are
kept neat and clean.
A large number of electric fans have
been installed for the summer months.
An electrical apparatus has also been
installed which sucks all the warm air
from the room and another appliance
takes all the odor and bad air from the
kitchen, keeping it cool and clean
THE matter of toilet facilities has
been carefully looked after. Wash
rooms and toilet rooms with all modern
conveniences have been provided Big
arm chairs are placed in the front OF
the room occupied by the Iunen counter lI3-
and it forms a suitable place for smok-
ing an after-dinner cigar.
A handsome new sideboard has been
placed in the dining room and new
coffee and ice water urn has been IN
stalled. The equipment of the kitchen
has also been added to until it IS ade-
quate for all emergencies A patent
dish-washing machine is a part OF the
kitchen equipment.
The expense in remodeling and fur
nishing the Cremerie has been several
thousand dollars, but Mr.. Scotts en-
terprise is sure to be appreciated by the
neonle of Toneka and kansas to such
an extent that his large investment VIII
be a profitable one.
