A KISS WITH EVERY MEAL.
Paris Restaurant Adopts Unique
Method of Drawing Patrons
Has Pretty Cashier.

London.-In many of the European
cafes Of the cheaper order 1t is the
invariable custom to print the daily
menu on the napkin provided for the
guest, SO that when the latter desires
TO study the bill OF fare he has to
raise his serviette from his knee in
order to do so.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
custom in connection with restaurant
life is that which obtains in a certain
little cafe in the suburbs of Paris,
where every customer whose bill
amounts to one shilling or over is en-
titled to receive a kiss from the very
attractive young lady who acts as
cashier to the establishment.
So used has the damsel become to
the osculatory routine that she goes
through ii without the slightest re-
luctance, looking upon it purely as a
matter OF business, and IL is reported
that the proprietor of the restaurant
is more than satisfied with the result
of his curious device for attracting
patrons.
Another enterprising restaurateur
has Instituted the practice of making
a present OF a box of Havana cigars
every New Years day TO those patrons
who have been pretty regular in their
attendance at his establishment during
the preceding year.
