as the French do nearly everything they
undertake little better than any one else,
one would naturally expect that the art of
extracting fees would be fine art here in
Paris, 1t is. Perhaps French waiter is
the only person living who can say THANK
you" at four prices. This is the way he
does it:
For 10 cents, "Je vous remerci. mon
sleur," with a reverential shake of the
head
For cents, "Merci, monsieur"
For 2 cents, ''Mer-r-c.n
For cents, "Sis-s-sn-s prolonged and
unmusical hiss, which is worth paving
more TO avoid.
The expression, 'if you please" is capa-
bic of similar variations, from the courte-
Gus Ns'll vous plait'' through the brusque
s, ,ou' plait,down to the decidedly abrupt
~ 'ou' p'." If a Partisan waiter or''boots''
is very polite he has either got big fee or
expects one. Excessive courtesy
CAN BE HAD By PAYING FOR 1T.
I One of the pleasantest things about q
European trip is the consciousness one
feels that at the end of it all he is going
back to a land where 1unkeys are so rare
that those who want them have to import
them, where q. railroad conductor is a gen
tleman, willing to answer any number of
questions for nothing if he has time. and
not beggar in gorgeous uniform: and
where the average workiugman feels him
self with reason las good as anybody" In
the land of the free ana the home of the
! brave the hotel waiter is the only function
airy who is becoming European; and even
be retains his independence over three
fourths of the country, summer resorts ex-
cepted. May it be long before others fol
low his iniquitous example. One would
not wish to see the United States, like
Switzerland of glorious history and inglor-
ious present. turned into q nation of beg
CARS, or its voters classified, like those of
England, into men," gentlemen and
