And so the following evening the patrons of Feinheimer's Cabaret saw a new face
among the untidy servitors of the establishment--a new face and a new figure,
both of which looked out of place in the atmosphere of the basement resort.
Feinheimer's Cabaret held a unique place among the restaurants of the city. Its
patrons were from all classes of society. At noon its many tables were largely filled
by staid and respectable business men, but at night a certain element of the
underworld claimed it as their own, and there was always a sprinkling of people
of the stage, artists, literary men and politicians. It was, as a certain wit
described it, a social goulash, for in addition to its regular habitues there were
those few who came occasionally from the upper stratum of society in the belief
that they were doing something devilish. As a matter of fact, slumming parties
which began and ended at Feinheimer's were of no uncommon occurrence, and
as the place was more than usually orderly it was with the greatest safety that
society made excursions into the underworld of crime and vice through its
medium.
