Persons who CHANGED TO he in Thirty
fourth street and Park avenue yesterday
around the noon hour wondered at the
numbers OF fair young stenogra piers
saleswomen, &C. &c, who sought admis-
sion to the Seventy-nrs, Regiment Ar
mory. BY twos and threes and in whole
groups they came. and when they left
the arnory after a stay of half an hour
or SO, they wore satisned expressions
which Indicated that they got whatever
they came for in good measur.
But 1t wasn't any housewifely enthu-
siasm that took these girls to the Milk
Show. which ia being held at the armory
this week. No. they spent little time
learning how cheese is made or how
many more proteids there are in a quart
OF milk than In a pound OF meat, or how
to bring up little calves by hand, or any
thing like that. The penny lunch was
what brought them TO the Milk Show
This Restaurant Is TipIess.
Penny lunches one naturally connects
with a bowl OF soup at n public school :
but the penny lunches at the Milk Show
are nothing so commonplace There Is
n new menu every day. with every one
OF our Allies featured in their own Ian
suage. the French and Italians being the
| headl!ners. Each dish is one penny. and

using them with discrimination it Is pos

lunched extensively at one Of the first
class hotels and go away without being
mulcted for tip
The New York State College of Agri-
| culture is the benefactor serving these
meals. A flock OF white capped women
nave set up n kitchen and dining room
right IN the middle Of the armory and
guests have the satisfaction OF seeing, as
they line up at the circular counter for
the feast, that everything Is prepared un-
der the most sanitary conditions The
only trouble is that II Is peripatetIc

body think that the stenors and sales
women made the financial mistake Of
buying an entrance ticket. because the

universe
