TIPPING.
How Paris Walters Manage to Live
xv,,ho,+ p.o.;u,. =, S,o,v

How Paris Walters Manage to Live
Without Receiving Salary.
An English resident has investigated
the extent of the tipping habit in Paris
restaurants, and has brought to light
some interesting figures. The investi-
gator examined conditions in one of
the largest restaurants in the city, and
found that from tips the walters aver
age $50 month each. The custom
there is to put the tips in box which
is opened every fortnight by the head
waiter and the contents distributed.
The breakage amounts to 5000 month,
of which the walters pay half and the
proprietor halt OF course, the walters
get no salary, it being we'll understood
that they are paid by their pour,
boire' or tip. In some cases the pro-
prietor pays old hands from SIS to $50
month. Head walters get from $40
a commission on all the wines and ci-
gars they can sell outside. Inside the
house the ce|larers only get commits
sions on the wines sold to guests. The
Partisan walters do not favor the abo-
lition of tine tipping system. Under it.
they sometimes make $50 a month, and
soon save enough to set up in business
for themselves, which is the great OBJ
ject in life of every Frenchman. Tips:
in Paris IRE higher than in New York,
and are given by the initiated with
good grace, as it is well understood
that they are the only source OF in
come of the walters. Some time ago
the walters in Paris restaurant struck
because the proprietor wished pei
centage of the tips. Such occurrences.
are, however, infrequent. The ge1er--
Gus man finds ample opportunity in.
Paris: he may tip the cellarer, who
brings his wine; the head waiter. wfor
ushers him to his seat. and the waiter
who puts on the dishes.
