A DESIRABLE PROVISION The Guardian
A ngel in Paris is man whose duty II is to
visit the drinking shops. and the moment a
man gets tipsy to take him under his pro-
lection, to accompany him home and put
him to bed. The individuals practising
this provision are picked mer, who never
drink themselves. who have necessary NOR
al authority to force obedience from the
drunken creature they arc conveying home,
who can defen' him against attack. and
more than all, who can prevent him from
drinking at the shops they pass on their
way. The price for this service is ten sous;
and there is not an instance OH record Of az
individual thus protected home and put to
bed, having failed to discharge this debt OF
honor. 1t is rule at the drinking shops
that when man cannot stand he must be
taken off and the Angel is straitway called.
The Angels are kindly treated by the shop
keeper, whose interest is to see that no one
OF his customers come to harm. They he
ceive the odds and ends of the dinner and
are recommended to the neighbor when a
reliable man for some confidential erranI is
wanted. Their honesty IS proverbial, and
a Baccanalan with hundred francs in his
pocket, who is confined to their charge, is
morally sure Of finding his hun ired fra 8
where he left them when he wakes th I
morning To those acquainted w.n the
character ofthe native Parisans, it is un-
necessary to observe that the Guardian An.
gel relies for custom principally on the En-
glsh and other foreigners, who have moi
learned the use OF wine without abusing it.
