THE BEST PA'T'RONS OF
IiO CI.�',LS.
Brooklyn Jilaflle The manager
of a large hotel in London is mak-
ing an interesting experiment. It
is designed to ascertain ivliicll na-
tionality are the best customers at rt,
hotel. Having a turn for statistics
ho went into the matter very care-
fully, the results -of Isis inquiries
being that the Englishmen stood at
the top of the list, as spendiug most
money. Next came the Gorman,
then the Frenchman and finally the
American; This last is a marvel,
the more so that many wealthy
Americans who go across the ocean
do not stint thornseh'es. But what
runs up a .man's bill in a hotel is
notwhat he eats,. but what be
drinks,' and the average 'American'
rarely dvinks anything but water at
his meal. At house he makes •up
for this to some extent by taking "a.
smile" hers and an !'eye-opener"' •
there. Just before the dinner hour
at any big American hetet the bar
is densely crowded with mon drink -
big seductive spirituous mixtures,
-which must be 1uucli more deleter- ..
ions than ai fair allowance of good
wine. Probably this: habit is ob-
served in England, and as what the
guest takes at. the. bar is thereupon
paid for and does not appear in the
bill, the Aniericans may be better
customers than they appear to the '
discontented eye of a hotel umnager.
