WILLARD COFFEE SHOP
ATTRACTIvELY ARRANGED,
Washington Is still groaning over
the fact that the beautiful Cafe St.
Marks Is q thing of the past, for
there was no place quite SO delight
full OF the sort in Washington. But
Washington will find consolation
now, I think, and very much enjoy
ment in the New Willard Coffee
Shop in-which can be obtained not
only soda fountain drinks but also
Ia carte service the same as in
the hotel dining-rooms, but at re-
duced prices. 1t was opened last
Wednesday for the first time. The
Coffee Shop is in what was for
merly the Grill Room, with en-
frances not only through the hotel
lobby, but also at Pennsylvania
avenue and Fourteenth street.
In addition to a special a la carte
menu, Frank S. Hight, manager of
the New Willard Hotel, announced
that a speciality will be made of
club breakfasts at attractive prices.
1t will also be possible for guests of
the Coffee Shop to order anything
desired from the regular bills of
fares of the hotel dining-rooms.
Particular attention is being paid
to furnishing quicn service. a special
kitchen having been established Just
of the Coffee Shop in order to ex-
pedite the handling of orders and
prevent delays.
The Coffee Shop was opened after
several months had been spent in
redecorating the former grill room
and refurnishing 1t under the direc-
ton Of John ]. Petit, the we'll
known architect, SO that it is espe-
cially adapted for afternoon teas
and after theater parties.
In redecorating the room, the Old
English style Of the fifteenth CEN
tury has been followed exclusively,
with a soda fountain made from the
old bar which before Washington
became "dry" was in the New will
lard barroom. In addition to tables,
attractively upholstered benches
have been placed around the three
other sides of the room so as to
accommodate more than 130 persons
at ono time. while around the walls
have been hung wood-cut prints,
typifying the old willard Hotel back
in 1850 and 1860 and the civil war
period. These pictures have been
collected by Hight
Tho adjoining room. which in the
old days was the barroom, has been
converted into a waiting room at.
tractively furnished. on this room is
another which has been fitted es-
pecially for private parties.
In order to prevent delay and hasten
service, a. kitchen has been built just
back of the soda fountain and i'm.
mediately back Of this are the regu-
lar hotel kitchens.
The opening Of the coffee shop
is under the supervision of Mime.
Cordes, who is In charge Of the coffee
shop in the Claridge Hotel IN New
York. It will. however. be under the
direct charge from now on Of Mrs.
Duncan Elliott, Of family socially
prominent some years ago in New
York. Mrs. Elliott during the waI
was engaged in war service in France,
having been stationed at one Of the
A e. F. canteens near the front.
The coffee shop will be open from
Z q. m. until midnight daily.
