SWEDEN.
Says a correspondent in the Daily
News of Chicago: What the bread
winners eat for their quick lunches in
Stockholm is rather different from
what is served in an American com
munity. In the first place most Of
these meals are served by eating
houses that are called 'automatS," a
sort OF money in the slot affair. M
help is required beyond a few men and
women 10 carry away the used dishes,

class OF lunch OOH is the absence OF
the tip system" and the relative
cheapness of the food. The article
most frequently called for is q sort Oi

fried herring in a special pan Rather
less Of pastry is used thar with us
Pies, as we know them are not to he
found. Coffee. beer and tea are the
principal beverages.
