Bar for Fair Ones

From the New York American. The fair ones, whose systems demand cocktail, whose palates crave mara sehino or chartreuse, need not now await an invitation from any man to sip those delectable liquors.
 A bar was dedicated to them yester- day; a ladies bar" was opened in the Cafe des Beaux Arts, the first of it's kind in New York
 It Is in corner of what is known as the Marble Room, but Louis Bustanoby said it would be called the "ParisiaN Cafe and Ladies Bar" hereafter. It was suggested to him that The Bath of Venus would be a poetic and appropri- ate name, but Bustanoby did not seem to think so.
 The bar is L shaped and made of mis- sion wood, perhaps to lend a subdued tone. It is so high that from the front only the heads and shoulders of the two white-clad bartenders are visible above 1t.
 Behind the bar are cabinets and shelves filled with bottles, decanters and vase shaped vessels, whose polished surfaces bright labels and glittering contents arc designed to provoke thirst.
 But-much more interestins-in front of the bar is no vulgar round brass rail, such as man rests one foot on while he discusses highbails and politics. And ranged before the bar are very tall chairs, luxuriously upholstered in soft plush
 The patron who seeks this oasis daint- fly steps on the broad, fiat rail, grace fully sinks in one of the chairs and re- marks invitingly to her companion:
 'What'll you have my dear?'
 A man is permitted to drink at the bar, but not by himself; he must be "escorted' by a woman. Learning this one of the patrons reproved Bustanoby.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-08

Why not devote the place to women exclusively and let the men take back seat for once?" = sa
 There are back seats in the Parisiar. Cafe-at tables.
 Many women. regal led themselves at the bar yesterday and seemed to enjoy themselves very much, indeed. only one man, "escorted.' was bold enough to invade the more or less sacred pre- eincts.
 Such bars have become fashionable, in London, Paris and Berlin, said Busta- noby. Why should New York not have one?"
