use. They are light warm and pleasantly
furnished and arranged. One may leave
wraps and packages and spend much or
little time there, get tasty lunch on
short notice, or simply cup of tea or
coffee. While intended especially for wom-
en-, lunches are served for men also when
wanted. The location is such that one
may easily watch for friends, or for the
arrival of the conveyance in which to go
home. Those in charge are watchful for 1
the comfort of guests and merit the lib ,
eral support of patrons.
