81 look forward to the time when we
will return to the legitimate and digni-
fed manner OF hotel keeplng--the time
when we will no longer be expected TO
compete with Hammerstein's or keiths
In order to sell highball--to the time
when we can serve our foodstufts free
from the dust OF dancing hoor--to the
! time when the quality OF our food and
the excellence of our service will be the
magnet which attracts. and not the size
OF our ragtime orchestra or the cond!-
ton OF our dancing floor"
