TROUBLE WITH BOARDERS.
A Head Walters Chat About the Trials of
His Pc lition.

His Position.
Keeping seats for regular boarders
II hotel dining-roon is one of the UNI
leasant features of a head waiter
business. There are some persons who
insist on sitting in one place. and who
won't sit anywhere else. To keep an
eye on these particular boarders' seats
and see that no outsiders slip into
them keeps fellow hustling. If some
one does happen to get into one of
hese coveted seats and the person
who claims it as his own comes in and
finds it occupied. there is sure to be a
row. and the poor waiter always gets
the worst of it. don't blame per-
son for wanting to occupy the same
seat, but there are times when 1t is im-
possible to keep it vacant For in
stance, if party of six or seven come
in they have to be seated at one table.
At this same table there may be, per-
haps. four or five regular boarders
eats, and when the latter come in l
have to put them somewhere else.
Then they get mad, of course. kick to

which the dining-room is run. and
finally the waiter hears from the OF
