We was dressing in the clubhouse after

me, biting his fingernails and rolling his

"Biggs," says he 'it's up 10 you.

we'd be mobbed.
Why, they come right out on the field

A novel dining room idea viii be put
In operation at the Castle hotel.
This dining room will not be a place
shut I'D within the hotel and concealed,
as IT were. from the outside public That
has been the hotel idea of a dining room
too long.
Why should the proprietor Of q moder-
ate priced hotel confine the possible
patrons OF his dining room 70 the people
who have rooms at his hotel2
Why should he not make a bid for
patronage from the outside as well? Es-
pectally, as this can be done without ad-
dttional expense except that which may
Be iAvolved In constructing a street en-
trance.
This type Of dining room lie provided in
the Castle. II has an entrance from the
lobby OF the hotel But II has also an
entrance from the street and from tina

taurant aud lunch counter.
