FINGER BOWLS ARE
CALLED TOO MUSSY

decoration extraordinary on the JEFF
ferson Hotel front" NO more splash
ing of the meat hooks in the cut glass
bathtub after the dcmi-tasse"
Huh, is that SOP" said Mr. Quale
Yes, indeed. and Atlanta has come
to the front and abolished the unsani-
tary and mussy finger bowl, along with
the Western cities. On the grounds
that finger bowls are too noisy, as often
used. and inclined to be hard on the
dining-room linen when the fingers are
introduced into the water too hurriedIy,
the Hotel Keepers Association of Min
ncapolis has condemned the finger bowl
to go back to the bush leagues.
Under the proper circumstances the
finger bowl is an essential of good SER
vice." said Mr.. Quale. "As long as the
dining public has enough 'culshur' not
to use them as drinking glasses, the
finger bowls Will be continued as i'm
DOrtant adtuncts of well-seryed meals.
At the Jefferson finger bowls are sup
piled only when the nature of the meal
ordered demands them; not just az a
napkin is regularly handed out
The finger bowl follows an order of
fruit as naturally as the first cocktail
Is followed by second. If tho guest
has ordered food that must be touched
with the fingers. the waiter, of course,
serves the bowl. We never think OF
handing n guest the finger bowl after
an order Of oysters or peas; the hotel
has Mushrooms for cleaning up.
''Of course some people will misuse
anything. Good walters make allow
