The chlef reason for the lapse of popu- larity of the country hotel is that it has been aping the city hotel. It has been pretending to give patrons the same menus they would get in the first-class metropolitan hotels, al- though it lacks the necessary equip- ment, staff and materials. And every time it fails with an intellizeat and experienced patron, it makes an | enemy where it sought to mako friend. | It is all the the patrons of expect elaborate An a more absurd becaus country hotels don’t bills of fare, and don’t want them.
