shionahle restaurant in Warsaw. A
patron, thoughtless enough to follow
the elsewhere universal custom. Is
graeiously informed by the waitress
that she has an interest in the business

And the patron, confused watches
her move away only to be stopped
by an influential looking gentleman,
who jumps UP from his chair. makes
her a courtly bow and kisses her hand

chief cook in this restaurant on the
Champs Elysees" of Warsaw, and
the mattresses are all women OF noble
birth, who We're accustomed to being
waited upon by many servants before
they were forced to flee their homes
on the Bolsheviki frontier, many of
them leaving without any of their
possessions and with only the clothes
they wore.
So. many women of noble birth
found themselves in Warsaw without
any means of self support, with all
income cut off and without even
clothes Despite the fact that manual
work of any kind is disgrace to a
Polish lady, one hundred and thirty
of them pooled their resources, ac-
cording to Miss l.. Downs. director
