The "American" Plan The A mei'iiiin Hotel AsMK-'mtiyn, which recently eniichhled its ungual run vent ion in Chicago, inclines Ut the (pinion that most American hostclriov ' may c expected sunn to return to what we used to knuw as the "Ameri enn plan uf ttperat ion, Tho change HhoiiUl occnsioii Utile regret. Not so many years ajrn tiicre was sharp distinction W-twecu the Ameri nm and Kxiropean plan hotels. The former charged you ho much f r "Iwd nnd lneakfart" aerwl so much more ty thi dny. 1 Uninjf-riMun service va tablo dhote. 1 The latter charged enough, of course, but- on the theory that one should pay only for acitimo datioli and meals eaten. CtM.lually the European plan houses gained the Uiier hand, csjiei-ially in the larger cities, and the two-dollar-a-day houses seemed on their way into oblivion. The war, and the era of high prices which followed, may Ik- ctedited wi'h liringing the change of which hotel men hint. The price of hotel accomo- flHtiomi 41 lid meaI rose amazingly even did the cost of service and foodstuffs to the mnnutrcmcht. Hotel men began to not it that, though their iredrooms were fillet), their driinjr rooms were' not. Oniry lunches and cafeterius benn to civp up within ,m few dtMirs of the grand entrame. and they throve on Ihe patronage f hotel guests. II. was disturbing, lo Jt J; a.iHI:-, .n! a r 1 put in their own cafeterias by way of reprinal. Now the hotel men are talking of the advantage of the well-balanced menu which the table d'hote makes poKnible, and of the guest' interest in knowing in advance what their bills will be. It Bounds reasonable, and it is. There ere obvious advantages to the guest in the American plan, and to the hotel man, in times like thin when men are watching their loose change more carefully. One might even argue that this report from Chicago indicates an increasing na tional preference for the boarding house rather than the restaurant. It comes about to that. Weather Effects (Revolutionary things are happening in England. No, this comment is not concerned with the Irish question or the imperial council or the American armament conference. It has to do with the weather. As a result of the abnormally hot weather, the English people arc learn ing to use ice in the American fash ion. They put it into their drinks. More remarkable Htill, they are de veloping a tawle for Ameritmn ice cream and nod a water. And what is perfectly extraordinary, they are drifting toward 'American sartorial effects. Vests are actually being discarded in London, so that the natives give as good an imitation as they could he ex- hieeted to do uf wearing American two- . piece suits. And the most extraordin ary thing of all is that "darks" have observed working without their coats-, and sportsmen have dared to go coat less on the golf links or cricket field, written by historians and scientists about the determining effect of cli mate on the character and habits of nations, but evidently the half has never K'en told. Suppose the situation were reversed, and we had a lung spell of Hnglish weather in this country. No doubt ; we'd all be having tea amd marmalade for breakfast, and, passing up ice cream soda for Scotch ami soda, and following the prescribed sartorial rules of dear old London.
