4 PARIS TEMPERANCE RESTAURANT.

PARIS TEMPERANCE RESTAURANT.
London correspondence of The Birmingham
Post
An interesting outcome Of the recent Anti
Alcoholic Congress in Paris has been the estab-
Lshment Of a temperance restaurant in the
city-the first of its kind It is called tina
"EtOile Bleue." and is situated in the Rue St
Bernard, in the middle of the Faubourg ST
Antoine, the intention being primarily 10 in
1uencc The working classes. The promoters
have thought il well not to make the trial of the
temperance regime too severe for their patrons
at the outset. Wine, cider and beer are served
in limited quantities, but only along with meals
Otherwise. only nOn-aIcoholic beverages, such
as tea, coffee, chocolate and "sirOps' are sup
piled According TO the managers themselves
rigid abstainers, this compromise is found to
work in the direction Of total abstinence. Some
hundred and fifty customers are supplied with
meals every day, and, although nearly all vera
accustomed TO drink wine or beer, most OF them
have abandoned the habit, and that without
pressure Of any kind The restaurant is largely
patrOniZed by women, but small employees and
workuen also form a considerable portion OF
its clientele. The experiment is not viewed with
favor by the neiShbOring 'marchands De vim"
but il appears to prosper notwithstanding.

a notice that smoking is not allowed In Bel
