faunterlng out leisurely, a toothpick
between their teeth. 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

New Orleans, La., Aug. 4.—Fifty

New Decatur, Ala., Aug. 4.—Sanders

prominent merchant of New Decatur,
lost both hla arms by an accident on
Wednesday. Young Johnson was beat

choose the same ten minutes of the

are next to each other. That Is enough
to start a friendship In democratic At-

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.
