"RITZ" FOR THE POOR.

LONDON" HOTEL WHERE HUNGRY MAY LUNCH FOR FOURPENCE WAITRESS PROBLEM. If you want cheap cooking nowadays you nilust go to the fourpenny Ritz for it, says a Loudon paper. It may l>e necessary to explain, however. that by the Ritz is meant not a palatial hotel in Piccadilly, but a restaurant of more modest dimensions in Rosomnn-street, E.G. Its proprietor, Mr. George Jacob familiarly known as Little George—is able to boast that "there are no war prices at the Ritz.'' "But how do you manage it?" a newspaper man in astonishment. "Well, between ourselves," he replied, "1 don't tin,l there's much difkrcnio between the price of meat to-day and More the war.'' Nevertheless, Little George lias yielded to economic pressure to the extent of advancing the price of his threepennv dinner to threepence-halfpenny. Mr. .Jacob has opened a new Ritz. Ritz No. '2 is situated at 50, Shepherd-ess-walk, City-read, E.C. It is a more commanding establishment- than it* Finsbury neighbour. It eaters in! 1 a more opulent rh;ss of customers, li you dine at Ritz No. 2 your lunches will cost you I'ourpenee.
