Therefore I find myself work

and get dinner.
The first time I went to
Hams new place on Broadway
and found it closed.
Then I walked over to Park
Row and finally landed in a
restaurant where I had to stand
at the counter, order what /
could get, get ticket punched,
carry the food to a table and
eat it, and then go to the cash
ier and pay the check.
It was not a comfortable way
for a tired and hungry man to
dine.
/ did not know Of a down.

go after 8 p. m., order a salts

comfortable conditions.
The second time, and again
around 8 p. m. (and this time
very hungry and very tired), !
wondered where / could go and
get a fair meal.
Happily it dawned on me that
the Clarendon Hotel, owned and
directed by my friend John
Hill, was just across the river
in Brooklyn, at Washington,
Johnson and Fulton Streets
a trinity location and a trinity
hotel in respect Of good man

Of tomato soup, an English
mutton chop with grilled sweet
potatoes, hearts of lettuce salad

everything in it.
He did not like to divide his
time between the Claridge and
the Clarendon, so he went back
home to stay.
The Clarendon is the kind of
hotel that people like because
they get such good service, sc
much courtesy, and, say, folks,
