Washington has new fad-the dairy
lunch banquet. 1t has been inaugurated
by patrons of the summer stock COM
Men and women whose knowledge of
the dairy lunch room heretofore has been
confined to a passing glimpse of the
white-coated attendants and the sand
wich munching customers, are begging
to learn something Of 1.-The excellent prov
ender provided for the delectation of the
busy clerk and the impecunious office boy.
Their experiences seem to please. for the
dairy lunch banquet is growing in popu-
Iarity.
1t is not an unusual sight these sum-
mer nights between the hours of 10 o'clock
and midnight to see the white-walled
palaces of pie and milk converted into
temporary banquet halls The little tables
are punched in the center of the room
and groups of men and maidens In even
ing dress enjoying late repast at the
cost of a dime or so.
The dairy lunch banquet has an ad-
vantage over the hotel sort In that II
can be made such a spontaneous affair
Nothing in diary lunch room takes time
TO prepare. A full course meal can be
ordered and served in railway time.
The modern dairy lunch room has
rather an extended bill of fare. The in
PRODUCTION of the steam table has made
this difference between the present and
the other days. when the only food pro-
durable in a hurry consisted Of coffee,
tea. or milk, with sandwiches, biscuit.

was, of course, impossible to keep the
authorship secret.
1t not only at once carried its authors
name from shore to shore. but drew ad-
mirng testimony from some of the first
of English poets. and finally made him
the lion of the season And for this mas
terpiece of genius-this poem which has
probably done more for the renown Of
American letters than any other single
work-it is alleged that Poe. then at the
height of his renown, received only the
sum OF SO.
When The Raven" first appeared a
friend said of its effect in New York:
Everybody has been raven-mad about
his last poem.''
Mrs. Browning wrote that an ac-
quaintance of hers who had a bust of
Pallas could not bear to look at 1t. The
poem was so deeply appreciated abroad
| that 1t was soon reprinted in French,
German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian.
The poem was written while Poe and
his wife boarded at the residence Of Mrs.
Mary Brennan. in Bloomingdale, which
was then a suburb of New York City, but
now a few hundred feet from what is
known as West Eighty-fourth street and
Broadway. For three decades his adj
! mirers repaired to the historic edifice to
gaze upon the little room, the Raven
Room" as they fondly named it. From
his window Poe could see the Hudson
River, and he went regularly for a swim
to a point down the slope from Mount
Tom." in Riverside Park. as 1t is known
to-day.
Upon one occasion. when the poet was
speaking with Mrs. Susan Archer Weiss.
who wrote THE Home Life of Poe,
and was one of his lifelong friends. he
said: THE Raven was never COM
pleted. 1t was published before I had
given it the final touches. There were
in 1t certain knotty points and tangles.
which I had never been able to over
come, and I let 1t go as 1t was" He
/ was many times on the point Of Destroy
| ing it," says Mrs. Weiss, and in the
| chronicler's opinion the poem was pub
lished under the nom de plume 'Quarles"
! because of the authors lack of conf
| dence in its merit. Had it proven a
| failure he said he never would have
acknowledged it's authorship.
Poe claimed that THE Raven was
written long before 1t was printed, be-
cause it went a-begging for a purchaser.
With the so he secured for this literary
masterpiece he fastened back to his
home, where his wife was dying-his be-
loved "Annabel Lee" Later Poe re-
sumed his attentions to an early love.
Elizabeth Royster. who had become Mrs,
Shelton and was a widow. Mrs. Shelton
claimed that Poe had told her over and
over again that she was the Lost Le-
nore'' of The Raven" and that she also
inspired his "Annabel Lee" but the
literary world generally regards his wife
as having been his inspiration.
Poe died before the day arranged for
their marriage. Mrs. Shelton said that
Poe often read THE Raven to her. and
she described the fire. the pathos, the
intensity with which he did II, saying,
when Edgar read The Raven he be-
came so wildly excited that he frightened
me, and when I demonstrated with him
he replied he could not help it-that it
set his brain on fire"
