WOMAN'S RESTAURANT BILL.
PAID WITH VACUUM CLEANER. The wife of a retired naval commander dined during a recent week at a London restaurant, and paid her bills with a vacuum cleaner. Her husband and she recently decided to leave London and live in a cottage in the country where there is no electricity. Their electric vacuum cleaner consequently was useless. The manager of the restaurant where she is a patron listened to tho story. " Madame can dine here throughout the week in exchange for the cleaner," he said. She dined night after night at the restaurant, and then an embarrassing discovery was made. The wife found that iter bill had at last exceeded the value of the cleaner. The balanco was paid in cash.
