Room service at the Ajax is of a quality befitting the newest, the
largest, and the most expensive hotel in Dallas. While the standard
of excellence is uniformly high, nevertheless some extra care
usually attaches to a breakfast ordered from the Governor's
suite-most elegant and most expensive of all the suites-hence the
waiter checked over his card and made a final, fluttering
examination to be sure that the chilled fruit was chilled and that
the hot plates were hot before he rapped on the door. A voice, loud
and cheery, bade him enter. Would the gentleman wish his breakfast
served in the parlor or -No, the gentleman would have it right in
his bedroom; but first, where were his cigarettes? He hoped above
all things that the waiter had not forgotten his cigarettes. Some
people began their days with cold showers-nothing less than a cruel
shock to a languid nervous system. An atrocious practice, the
speaker called it-a relic of barbarism-a fetish of ignorance. Much
preferable was a hygienic, stimulating cigarette which served the
same purpose and left no deleterious aftereffects.
