here who still clings to the native costume
in the house, and at home she resembles
nothing 50 much as a pretty Japanese doll.
But most OF her sisters, like Mrs. Ritchi-
nomia. are apt after they have been here a
couple of years to be American In dress.
In spite of the fact that these Oriental
women take to everything American in the
shape Of clothes and house Furnishings
there is one social custom OF their own
which they have not relinquished. II is
the ceremonial tea, so much a part Of their
life and education.
1t Ia quite impossible 70 make an American
appreciate all that it means to them. Il IL
as much a part Of the education Of the
young Japanese girls as the accomplish
ments which American girls learn at tho
finishing school.
Every motion in the ceremonial tea funo-
ton has a special meaning and is done
according to rule. There must be not only
perfection in the making and serving but
the control Of the muscles. the poise Of the
body and the grace Of manner all count In q
perfect performance Of the function.

Like every other enterprise at the pressne
day the many quick lunch restaurants
throughout the city have been oorralled
into big companies. These companies
can be counted on the fingers Of one hand
with some OF the fingers still unoountcd-
Profits are thus increased enormously
because where the individual restaurant
man would buy milk, for instance, by tho

carload or run dairy farms large enough
to supply thousands Of the hungry daily.

from the woman at that entrance. Straight
way he will walk around the l. turn In the
restaurant and when a crowd is elbowing
its way into the other entrance he will
sneak around the pillar and back OF the
other woman distributing tickets and Join
the incoming crowd unostentatiously. In
this way he will get possession Of a second
unpunched ticket, and after this the rest
is easy.
With the two tickets in his pocket the boy
will go TO one part Of the counter and buy
al much luncheon as an Office boy can eat,
which is going some. Perhaps he will get
90 cents or rs cents worth and have one Of
his tickets punched for that amount.
Then when his hunger is quite satisfied
no will amble along the room to another
part OF the counter and buy coffee and pie
TO the amount of 10 cents. On his way out
the ten cent ticket is the only one, Of course,
that he presents to the cashier. Later in
life the boy becomes a captain OF industry
and has indigestion.
The quick lunch rooms are about the only
restaurants left in New York where women
are employed to wait on tables. 1t IL queer
commentary on human nature that these
girls are the only restaurant help in the city
who are almost never tipped.

The atmosphere OF the places is not con-
ducve to lounging and so the clerk does
not dawdle along through his abbreviated
meal or read snatches of his newspaper
between COURSES after the fashion Of his
boss in a more expensive restaurant. One
reason for this is that with large numbers
OF impatient persons standing around wait
ing for a chair To be vacated the man who
would waste time over his paper would
find himself unpopular.
Another reason is that there are prac-
tioally no between courses in the quick
lunch. The average meal Of the patrons
here consists Of bowl OF soup. a cup OF
coffee and a piece Of pie, and the waitress
delivers all the goods simultaneously, when
ahe doesn't bring the pie before the soup.
On occasions the soup plate rests skwash-
ily on the open faced pie and again the pie
will be in the soup.

but he will always be found among those

has left his valise at the boarding house.
West Of Jersey City there is an invariable
lunohing rule: When in doubt order ham
sandwich.
That's the luncheon of the man or woman
on trip to the city, with pie and coffee or
milk as chasers. The regulars, on the other
haAd, go in for daintier lu1uries-chicken
pies, corned beef hash with a poached
egg riding astride and holding the hash
I securely to the plate, oyster pies, choco-
late eclairs or cheesecake.
The bookkeeper, too, from a closer init
macy with high living than one obtains
in smaller towns, often orders his coffee
without the near cream. This milkless

Buying the luncheon and the dress goods
were merely two things that had to be done
during the lunch hour, and the quicker
they we're done the better.
SO far as the bookkeeper, the shop girl
and the Office boy are concerned this atti-
tude toward the quick lunch places still
obtains, but another phase of hash house
life has developed Of late that comes 10 the

SUBJECT TO TAX.
Medicinal Compounds Containing a
Certain Proportion of Alcohol.

Commissioner OF Internal ,sevenue
Capers has rendered a decision rela-
tive to the manufacture and sale of
alleged medicinal alcoholic compounds
where, on analysis. it is found that the
said alleged medicinal compounds are
suitable for use as a beverage.
Summing up an elaborate opinion,
the commissioner holds as follows:
That a special tax is required for
the manufacture and sale of alleged
medicinal alcoholic compounds or for
the sale Of malt extracts manufactured
from fermented liquors. the drugs used
in the manufacture of which are not
sufficient in amount or character to
render the product UNIT for use as a
beverage; or, in the case of cordials,
extracts and essences, in which the
amount of alcohol Is greater than Is
necessary to preserve the ingredients,
or to extract the properties or cut the
oils, and hold same in solution.
Manufacturers of alcoholic medici-
nal compounds. malt extracts havoring
extracts. essences and soda water syr-
ups who wish to avoid liability for
special taxes must satisfy themselves
that their products are within the
limits herein defined: and those who
put out alcoholic compounds Of doubt
full medicinal value, or containing a
questionable excess of alcohol, must do
SO at the risk of being required TO pay
special taxes for the ma nufacture and
sale of same"
