LONDON, Oct. 20.—(By Mail)—
Right at the entrance of a London tea
room is a table holding a platter of
pastry—fire-cracker cakes with the
chromatic scale worked into the
frosting. The colored junk varies
from Colorado Maduro to Alice Blue
and looks a power for evil.
The American customer began to
have misgivings for his ham-and
eggs the moment he stepped in. Some
how those hand-grenades proclaimed
against anything so substantial as his
favorite fruit.
Finding his way to a marble-top
ped table he hung up his hat and
raincoat, planted his right elbow in a
puddle of Oolong and settled down
to wait.
Pretty soon—well, not pretty soon,
but after a while, a dame came over
and mopped up what his coat-sleeve
hadn’t absorbed, inquiring “t’nk ew?”
That’s a sticker, that “t’nk ew?”
It’s Londonese for “thank you” and
suffices for all occasions. In this
case it meant, “well,, stranger, what’s
yours?”
“I guess I’ll have something to eat,”
he ventured—“maybe you can suggest
something.”
Sure she could and the gent fell off
the Christmas tree.
“Would you like some nice tea and
I jam?”
That didn’t seem very nourishing.
He compromised on a poached egg
and chocolate and of course he got
bean pie and tea.
But it’s no use complaining; it’s
war time and things are so rushed!
The tea-room is the London edition
of the off-the-arm' lunch, and a con
| noisseur of five years’ experience in
I American dairy lunches can draw
i comparisons.
Just take it from him that a dead
1 herring for breakfast isn’t, in it with
“two-and—sunnyside” or “two in,
three—with.” And tea so weak that
it has to be pushed out of the pot
doesn’t stimulate a lagging ambition
j like regular coffee with honest cream.
! Flopping from eats to raiment,
there is the little matter of shirts.
There’s nothing wrong with the qual
ity and Chicago can’t beat the price.
It’s the design that’s archaic. They'
are the kind that go on over the
head just after the hair has been
neatly plastered.
“We introduced coat-shirts,” said a
haberdasher, “and had to sell them at
a loss after keeping them on the
shelves for a year. There is a trick
of getting into the old-fashioned kind
and we get our morning calisthenics
while dressing.
“I say, how about a bit of a stick;
we have some topping ones just re
ceived.”
Sure he bought a stick, the poor
boob! and tripped over it 17 times an
hour for the next three days. He
tried to swing it jauntily—a cane
should always be swung jauntily—
and beaned the man walking ahead
of him. He tried a sedate walk,
planting the crutch straight downward
so as not to strike innocent bystand
ers and managed to trip a pretty bru
nette into a lamp-post. But he stuck
to the task and finally caught the
knack—carried in the right hand,
swung a liberal arc, the point strik
ing the sidewalk simultaneously with
the right heel on every second step.
It’s in four-four time and an even
strike, except when running for the
bus or clambering to the upper deck,
when the cane may be carried in the
teeth or either hand or anywhere else
just so it doesn’t jab the man behind
in the eye. The safest way, however,
is to have a friend stand in the
street and throw it.
Entering a restaurant the club
should be carelessly handed to the
head-waiter who will hang it on an
inconvenient hat-rack. When the crip
ple is standing talking to a friend it
■s used as a prop ti lean u<t»j and
when he is seated in a bus or a tube
train he folds his hands over the han
dle and looks like a darned fool.
C ME for your Pajamas. None but
the best. Felix Brown & Co. 11-2-tf
