A FEW REMINDERS.

Dress neatly, not loud. See that your linen is in good repair and clean. White is the correct dress for a man behind the bar. Do not smoke or chew tobacco while on duty. Avoid drinking with customers while on duty. When you are off watch, go out; don't hang around. Be on time, the other man gets tired as well as you. Be polite and affable at all times, no matter how painful. Do not shake dice or enter into games with customers. Familiarity breeds contempt; don't get chummy. Look out for the usual hangers on, usual knockers. Keep your register correct; don't have to blame your partner. See that your glasses and bar are clean and tidy. Always serve a customer with a dry glass. Let the customers have all the arguments among them- selves; a good listener is a wise man. When serving plain drinks always put a clean, dry glass on bar with side glass of ice water, or whatever water is desired. Put up bottle or decanter in front and let customer help himself. When in doubt refer to this book, it will keep you up- to-date. COLD HORS D'OEUVRE OR RELISHES. SPANISH RELISH. Arrange around the border of a hors d'Oeuvre dish al- ternately slices of ripe tomatoes and cold hard boiled eggs and in the center place some sliced red and green peppers and pickled fresh mushrooms interspersed with slices of cold hard boiled eggs. Season with a French dressing mixed with fine herbs, i. e., chopped parsley, chives, chervil and tarragon, in which, however, the latter should dominate.
