Somebody ought to establish a Res
taufant for Brides. 1t Is unthinkhble
that the sweet young things Just en-
barking ON the sea of matrimony and
spending their honeymoon In the Ma
tional Capital should be forced to eat
with the herd
Not that our restaurants are not very
nice restaurants, as such places go. but
there Is an atmosphere about them that
somehow docs not smack OF honey
moons. A faithful groom. you will say,
ought to take Wifia to a swell hotel.
Gentlemen on Homogeneous. however,
In the vast majority Of cases, do not
possess enough surplus cash to eat at
the big places. A trip costs a great
deal, especially when one must tip
walters and porters generously.
However much one would like to
patronize the eating places where one
sits eating bread and butter and drink
Ing ice water for three quarters OF an
hour while waiting for the main grub to
be brought in. there is something about
the prospect OF price that scarcs away
your average honeymooning couple.
Almost any morning these bright
Summer days the asttte observer will
see them walking along the pavement
anxiousiy looking around for a moder-
ate-priced place to cat breakfast,
Surely there is something about them
that sets them apart The romantic
will say that it is a look in their eyes,
but the prusaic will pin 1t down to
simply this:
The cAllow look of the bridegroom,
Bridegroons look far too youthful.
The girl In the case always seems
grown up" enough, but the husband

just escaped from high school.
We have made careful inspection
of such evident newly welded couples
as have come our way, and have come
to the unhesitatingly complacent con-
cll,sion that young husbands feel deeply
the sense of responsibility which rests
upon their shoulders.
Watching them eat breakfast as we
consumed cup Of coffee as Is our GUS
tom. we have been struck by the terri
bly, earnest look in the eyes Of the
young husbands. They look around with
an air as much as 10 say Dare to look
at her you poor unmarried person.
Just why they look upon all other men
as unmarried we find II difficult TO
figure out, but we are convinced that
they do. Something in their eyes tells
us so. They seem to harbor Scorn for
the remainder OF humanity. especially
that portion of 1t that consumes coffee
In the morning in lunch rooms
Perhaps at this point We should In
terrupt long enough to say that there
are two classes of morning coffee drink
ers In public places--those who have
had no breakfast and those who have.
We belong to the latter group, let lis
hasten to say Having consumed a full
breakfast. with good cup Of coffee,
at home. we ruin our digestion with a
second cup about an hour later, This
Is a little habit of ours which we got
into. and having got into 1t. like It..
Cheerfully we recommend it to others
After you have looked over the morn
ing's mail and read the headlines In the
papers and still feel disinclination to
buckle down to work. there is nothing
that will put you on your work-a day
feet so quickly as cup of hot coffee
at the place across the street
1t Is there that We have had oppor-
tunity 10 study these young married
COUPLES who look upon the world with
such eyes of wisdom and a slight con-
descensiun upon the part OF the hus-
how to be looked down upon.
The young ladies. however. do no
such thing. Secure In the protection OF
Friend Husband, they look around them
with clear gaze. not failing to take even
us in as we sit drinking coffee.
