'-M inn roll and butter. Features were soup and Gsh sandwich (Sl.SO; chicken basket with french fries and garlic toast 11-50); and baked halibut steak $L85.

Bob ordered the chicken basket and the scrivener the soup and sandwich. Connie stuck to a tried and true sandwich: bacon, lettuce, and tomato ($1.25. En-st ad had milk (50 cents and the rest of us bad coffee 30 cents. Eloise, the waitress behind our section of the counter, brought the food in almost the whisk of an eyelash. Although he also had been enthusiastic about the Walgreen cheesecake 75 cents, Bob failed to order any.

Connie and the scrivener split an order after Eloise confided she made it personally out of Jello-O, cream cheese, and whipped cream. That was lunch at the 777. We arrived about 1:13, got counter seats at about 1:40, dined and had time for a coffee refill before departing at approximately 2 p.m. Bob announced be was not returning directly to the office. Connie surmised he was going to all the savings and loans where be has accounts and get the interest marked up in his books.

It is not hard to understand why he will some day be extremely wealthy.

"It is an appropriate place for us to launch the new year. We should strive for more humility in 1978," Bob said. That did it. We enlisted Connie Lauerman and walked up there for lunch last Friday. TO GET A SEAT in a hurry at Walgrttni one should, most days, arrive early say half en hour or so or an hour late.

One also should dine alone, with one other person, or with three others. There was quite a line ahead of us, and when finally we got up front we found the hostess still was making tables available to loners, doubles, and parties of four. This is the sort of thing that causes considerable muttering by parties of three. After we muttered for 15 minutes or so, we bypassed the problem by grabbing three) counter seats that opened up nearby. The Special Treat on the menu, at $1.15, was deep fried halibut fish cake with cream sauce, garden peas, JjJmP 5 in cs Alex deRcnzy's Plsajare THIS CHINA GIRL' LOOK! LIKE CHILD'S PHY!
