Imagine this con tlnulng for three hours without an In terruptlon and you have a fair picture of a "quick lunch" restaurant In At' lanta between the hours of II and 2. "How many customers do we aefve In a day?" It was the cashier of one of the more popular restaurants talk ing. "Well, It's hard to say. We think It's a good'average day If we serve a thousand for lunch.” If you are fond of mathematics juat put down a few figures. A thousand men, fifty seats, three hours for lunch eon, That gives an average of twenty customers to a seat. Nine minutes for each customer. “What can a man eat In 9 minute*?' Well. If he were very hungry and try ing to catch a train he might make In roads Into quite an extensive meal, but as a rule the business man doesn't give an elaborate order unless he has a friend to lunch at a fashionable cafe. HI* order at a quick lunch counter la one kind of meat, perhaps aome vege table, coffee or milk. As he raises hla ip with one hand for, the last alp of ffee, he reaches for hla check with the other. Many customers consume considerably leas than the 9-mlnute average and leave the restaurant safe against' hunger until they reach home “Yes, we feed a thousand very easily between 11 and 2," said one waiter, "Of course It keeps the waiters huat- ling. Borne of them are faster than other*, and the average girl la quicker than a man and make* fewer mistakes nfter she has learned her trade. They each have so many seats to watch, so many customsrs to serve, though they help each other when convenient. "Each waiter must servo a great many customers when n thousand are to be fed, you see. I have been behind the counter a long time, and my record Is. 15$ In three hours. That's a little more than fifty an hour, Isn't It? Al most a customer a minute, and each one- would have three or four Items perhaps. One has to hustle. You see. each man must have napkin, knife and fork and plate a* soon as he sits down. Then besides th* things he orders you must see that he gets sugar, a glass of water and all the little things that make up th* service. Then we have to clear away all the dishes that the last man left behind him. W* don't have much time to talk anything but business." "Of course, the rush doesn't keep up all day," he continued. "We have two forces of waiters. One comes on be fore breakfast and works to 2 o'clock. The other comes on at 10 and works until 7, giving us a double force for the noon hours. They pay the waiters pretty well, I reckon, though not more than they earn. And they don't get anything 'on the side' In a place like this. Nobody thinks of tipping the waiter. "A lot of money taken In, you say? Well, that's true, but It take* a lot of meals to make a very large sum. You see, the average check Is not more than 25 cents. Some are a dime, some run up over the half-dollar, but an av erage would be less than a quarter. About 2$ rent* Is right, I guess. Break fast and supper checks average more than that." Twenty rents will purchase a plenti ful meal for th* average man. Fif teen cents will buy fish or meat with a few mashed potatoes and th* other five will pay for coffee or milk. And the coffee In most of the quick yinrh places Is of the first quality, the milk rich and full of cream. The dishes are dean, the food Is well cooked, the smell of the kitchen Is swept away by big exhaust fans In the rear, the waiters are polite, as a matter of course, and not because they expect a tip.' Tip* are not com mon here. The waiter handles no change to remind the customer of lib erality and the average man would feel hardly called upon to give away a dime with every 20-cent luncheon. The walt- depend entirely upon their wages 'hat sort of men eat 20-cent lunch eons? That qdestlon may be answered by a glance at th* counters during the rush hour. Here Is a messenger boy absorbed in th* destruction of a slab of lemon custard and a glass of milk. On th* stool next to him Is th* banker from across the street, eating his slice of rare roast beef as contentedly as though In the grill room of hla club. Next to him Is one of the tellers and perhaps the bank's office boy Is further down the line. Bookkeepers, clerks, heads of big firms, all meet at the quick lunch counter and atl are treated alike. Many acquaintances are made here, ac quaintances which sometimes last for years, though neither of the lunch counter friends could tell the other's Macon, Ga., Aug. 4.—The Masons of Large numbers of prominent Masons The following officers were elected: L.

They happen to choose the same ten minutes of the day for lunch, and their favorite seats are next to each other. That Is enough to start a friendship In democratic At- “l?y*p*p»l*7" The patrons of the counter do not Indicate It. If the time Is short so Is the luncheon. Perhaps It Is better to eat a light meal In a few moments than to spend an hour over a varied luncheon that one remembers uneasily through the remainder of th* afternoon. The lunch counter custom ers are not given to Indigestible*. Breakfast foods have their popularity even In th* middle of the day, and few besides the younger set, whose diges tion is beyond attack, take any chances with the pastry. Th* "quick lunchers" look as healthy as th* average man. C. F. MORGAN. Worshipful Master of Cobb County Masonic Convention. B. H. CARRIE. Secretary and treasurer of Cobb County Masonic Convention.
