 Most walters in Russian restaurants
 now wear natty blouse of navy
 blue, with army style collar and no tie.
 Although walters in Russia re-
 ceiye a most slender salary it is a punishable offense for them to ac-
 Cept gratuities of any kind. Don't degrade your felloW-man by offer ing him tip; tip is a bribe." |" This is the surprising warning
 American visitors to Russia, who in
 other European countries have been | literally plagued hy tip-seekers, find
 on the walls of the Russian restau- rants.
 In spite of this injunction, how ever, walters are forced out of sheer economic need not only to accept
 gratuities, but to seek them. It would be impossible for them to
 exist on the small salaries they re- ceiVe.
