"Nun kommt der grüne Berg wo selbsten auch nichts fehlt, Von dem was das Gemüth ermuntert und erfreuet; Deshalb wird er auch vielfältiglich erwählet, Er hat den schönsten Stof zur grösten Fröhlichkeit." (Well stored with all that gladd'neth man, The green hill rises, cool and fair; And many a pilgrim, spent and wan, Doth quaff from font of Münchner there.) Clearly, the _Gemüthlichkeit_ of the Germans, a word for which an equivalent scarcely exists in any other language, may be traced to the national beverages and an alimentation with which they harmonise--with golden opportunities to cultivate it in the Wirthshaus, Gasthof, restaurant, and beer-garden. In many of the larger restaurants and beer-gardens which are conducted on a scale that is well defined by the favourite term, "kolossal," the great Speisekarte, ornately decorated and rubricated in the olden style, is grandly in evidence. A typical index to good cheer may be taken from almost any of the vast breweries of Munich, with their long lists of Braten, Wildpret, Pfannengerichte, Eierspeisen, Salat and Compots. On some of these appears an epitome of the corps of assistants, including the white-aproned waitresses with their names and characteristics, and the great array of help that is necessary to slake the thirst and appease the hunger of a German multitude. The conclusion of the Speisekarte of the Löwenbräukeller may be cited as an example: =Gesammt-Personal der Restauration Löwenbräukeller München= Concert-Saal oder Garten 1 Ursula, die Oberkellnerin, 18[24] 2 Therese, die Schwarze, 8 3 Grethi, die Dicke, 13 4 Marie, die Schwarze 5 Marie, die Tirolerin, 17 6 Anna, die Schwiegermutter, 13 7 Gertraud, die Schlanke, 9 8 Leni, die Durstige, 7 9 Marie, 6 10 Marie, die Dicke, 6 11 Pepi 12 Lina 13 Kathi, die Schwabingerin 14 Marie, die Freundliche 15 Therese 16 Marie, die Schöne 17 Veronika 18 Anna, die Stille 19 Babette 20 Anna, die Brave 21 Emilie, die Stramme 22 Marie, die Schwäbin 23 Röschen 24 Hildegard } 25 Marie, die Blonde } Gallerie 26 Marie, die Schwarze } 27 Emma } 28 Elise } I.
