Student restaurants in Paris are an
institution that Americans may well
envy. They are run solely for the ben

are welcome There are certain little
formalities that must be observed.
For instance 1t is the duty Of every
one entering to bow to the madame
and say. "Donjour, madame" or Bon

Of day. After one has finished his
meal he asks for the 'additione," as
the bill is called. When it Is presented
by the trim little waitress 1t is con-

refuge in it. They live in Il strange,
rugged stretch of country, with the
Gulf of California on one side and a
range Of foothills which spread down
toward the Mexican border on the
other. There are no ports at this
point on the coast Of California, and
no railroads reaching in from the
other direction, So the men are COM
