"1 was alttlng nt nieut with the mnnager nf one of the well known loudon restaurants," says a writer. '"1 am short-sighted and un observant,' 1 said, 'and ns I never know one waiter from another I'm al ways uneasy lest I've tipped the wrong one.' The manager laughed. 'Frits, bring the book,' he sold. The book was opened upon the table and dis closed columns and rows of figures op posite tho nnmes of waiters. Between them the mnnager nnd Fritz explained tho system. "Every penny given In tips was cast Into a common fund In charge of a waiter elected by his fellows. At the end of Uie week the turn was distrib SHOT DOWN RUSSIANS. U.AU Al Ml. l'KlhltMliUKO uted. Three classes were arranged by the manager, according to efHclency, and the shares were In corresponding proportions, so that the Junior whe hovers with the sauce Is by no means equaljy rewarded with the export who can advise In the matter of wine. "Walters keep a Jealous eye on tbclr fellows, and the man inspected of pocketing a tip finds his position un tenable. The system Is good for the public, since It diminishes the unpleas ant personality of a charitable action. It Is good, too, for the waiters, since that record .of the weekly gratuities showed that the best waiters made about 52.000 a year In tips."
