NC MORE QUICK LUNCH SIRENS.
Plain Girls Have The Call in
Chicago Restaurants.

Chicago. Feb. S.-"No pretty girls
need apply"
This is the determination the
managers Of the quick-lunch restau-
rants have reached in considering the
problem Of engaging mattresses.
They admit it only in the depth Of
their own inner consciousness or un-
der pledge Of inviolable secrecy, for
to announce 1t openly might cause q
strike and riot compared with
which the labor disputes that in the
past have ragged In the stockyards
would look like child's play. No girl
would consent to remain at work
If 1t was known that her homeliness
had been her passport to the posi-
tion, and hardy and rugged as the
race of quick lunch restaurant mana
gers may be. none would dare face
his mattresses after announcing such
business platform. But the fact
remains the day of the pretty wait
ACSS ID over III CnlS city.
The managers have come to the
conclusion that the pretty waitress,
once considered q drawing card. is
really a detriment to the place in
which she is employed. 1t is hard
on the pretty girls, for the reel fault
lies not with them, but with the
men who like to bask in their smiles.
But the logic Of the situation, as
argued out by the managers, is un-
answerable. Men come to a quick
lunch restaurant to eat quickly. If
they are served by a pretty waitress,
experience shows, they spend prec-
ious minutes in "jollying" her that
ought to be devoted exclusively to
slnkers and pie. The result is that
the quick-lunch becomes slow, the
service generally becomes di!atory
and poor. and customers take them
selves out Of the way Of temptation
to waste their time by going to some
other place where the mattresses are
merely mattresses and not sirens as
we'll.
Our patrons prefer the plain girl"
said one proprietor, though they
may not know it. They come here
to eat, and our reputation is built on
QUICK service. All the 'please-give-
me-some-ansel-food' foolishness is
done away with when the plain girl
comes to serve them. Patrons will
simply say Gimme a bowl of half
and half and an order Of pigs feet
and onions and the plain girl ans
wers Yes SIR and away she goes.
We will serve twice as many custo-
mers. and they will be better sctis-
led in the end

The administration of the railways,
telegraphs, telephones, mines, and
the public domains by the State IS
possible only through trained civil
