the American Magazine the writer
says:
sit has always been of interest to me
TO see how differently people from 9TH

hotels and restaurants. When West
erner or a Southerner sits down in
New York restaurant the first
thing he asks for is seafood. West
erners are wild about good oysters,
while the Southerner wants fresh
clans.
"There is an interesting difference,
too. about the South Americans and
Westerners ia New York. The West

change in food. room, atmosphere, sur.
roundings and, in fact, everything.
s'The South American Spaniard is
exactly the reverse. He wants his con-
ditions at home duplicated as nearly
as possible. And because this has
been impressed upon us, we have in
the hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys
clerks, telegraph operators, walters
and last but not least, Spanish cooks
