COSMOPOLITANISM


Secretary of State Lazansky refused to incorporate the Hell Cafe of New

York.



"New York's cafes are singular enough," said Mr. Lazansky, "without the

addition of such a queerly named institution as the Hell."



He smiled and added:



"Is there anything quite so queerly cosmopolitan as a New York cafe? In

the last one I visited, I saw a Portuguese, a German and an Italian,

dressed in English clothes and seated at a table of Spanish walnut,

lunching on Russian caviar, French rolls, Scotch salmon, Welsh rabbit,

Swiss cheese, Dutch cake and Malaga raisins. They drank China tea and

Irish whisky."
