Eve celebration In New York's hotels
and restaurants Is to be taken as an
indication OF abundance Of money and
Of general prosperity. then good times
have arrived.
That. a. least. is the opinion OF hotel
and restaurant proprietors. who have
not been so besieged In years. they say

been such demand for table re-
servations for eight years as the hotel
and restaurant men have noted in the
last week or 80. Every hotel. whether
