Go into one of the quick-lunch houses in any of the big cities-and the quick-lunch 'house is ubiquitous from the Atlantic to the 'Paci/ic--and take a seat in a corner and watch. Don’t eat-only watch. What a spectacle /or the amazement of 'gods and men! /Ind there, if never before, you cannot help but realize the terrible and 'frightful tension of modern life. There you will see modern city life in a kaleidoscopic effect, combining all the fever, haste, hurry that drive men on relentlessly.

It’s ' the greatest menace there is to the health and peace of mind of the men of the great cities.” ND is it any wonder? A Suppose we take s little nonndsy excursion among the various quick-lunch places of the big city. There is the lunch plncs where the banker and stock broker est feverishly while they read stock quotations and afternoon papers; there are the cheaper places where lunch both capitalists and csbbies_ million- aires and messenger boys-more often, however, the lu.l~ tar; and thors srs tho dairy lunches, where every one waits on himself. and the picturesque automata.
