“We still timl," said an old Washing
tonian. "many cold plates. I»ts oi j»e<>-
ple seem to regard hot plates as a su
perfluity, or even as an abe-tatilin of
style that is not to be encouraged, and
so give you cold plates to eat hot food
from; thus really sjtoiliug many a g >od

“I ate dinner yesterday at a place
where, the food is excellent and admir-
ably cooked, and where everything
they give you is good and appetizing,
and ample In supply, but where the
joy of the meal was marred by cold
plates.
"Just why they give you cold plates
at this place 1 don't know, but It Is
simply the survival of an ancient cus
tom, I guess.
"For hot plates are a modern cns-
tom. Formerly people got along very
well without them; but it is different
now, when it is so easy to provide
them. And yet they are by uo means,
even today, everywhere to be found.
"You might eat today at the abund
ant, the well-supplied and the well-
equipped table of u family whose every
member was the personification of
kindly grace and hospitality, and yet
find here your l'ood served to you ou
cold plates; rugged people, these, by
whom, out of some feeling bred in the
days when luxuries were less common,
hot plates would still be considered as
a mark of concession to effeminacy.
And by such a reason, indeed, might
the eold plates be accounted for in
some small hotels, off the beaten track,
though in many another hotel their
presence is due simply to slackness,
Indifference or a failure to rise to
modern conditions.
“But the hot plate, by no means a
sign of degeneracy, but one marking
simply and rationally a desire to rise
to our privileges, is everywhere spread

vail, and meanwhile when we eat
