In no other city in the world is the

OF the amount charged for the meal.
Others school themselves to the habit
OF giving a dime, quarter, half or a
dollar, according to their purse. In
Paris the rule is to leave a ''pourboire"
on the table. The native cries Gar

waiter fetches the bill from the dame

expects his 'pourboire' of twenty-five

hands the mental dollar or two

cafes the walters receive no wages
