Arriving at nine o’clock in the morning, he asked to be directed to a good eating house. The taxicab pilot steered his course for the largest, costliest and most fashionable hotel grillroom on Broadway. Being a stranger in a strange land and hungry, the Bluegrass brother ordered a regular home meal. When he got the . check from the waiter Its size staggered him. He wasn’t accustomed to New York hotel prices. After verifying the correctness of his bill at the cashier’s desk and being Insulted by the waiter for tipping him twenty-five cents, the visitor started out to look for Ms brother, whose office he found about one o'clock. In response to Ms inquiry as to Ms brother's whereabouts, a clerk said: “He’s over at Blank’s hotel's new grillroom.'' “Go slow, friend, only a millionaire could overeat at the. Blank hotel I know, because I had breakfast there myself this morning.”
