How does the title of "A Clean, Well-lighted Place" relate to its theme?

In Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," that is what
one can hope for:  a clean, well-lighted place like the little
cafe.

The story presents a realistic--some might say
bleak--picture of reality and existence.  In this world, the story suggests, one finds
meaning in small ways.  Bits of kindness or courtesy, peace, contentment, and
comfortable surroundings are what one can hope for.  The place where the old man drinks
his brandy is all he has. 

The world, as the speaker sees
it, is bleak.  The old man "Last week...tried to commit suicide."  Why, or what about? 
"Nothing."  Yet, though he is cut off and told he is "finished" by the inconsiderate of
the two waiters, he leaves a tip and, when he leaves, walks "unsteadily but with
dignity."

Meaning in the story is clutched from
nothingness, and found in places like the little cafe.
