Waitresses on Japanese Railroads. Refreshment cars on somo of the Japaneso railroads aro now attended by wnltresscs. Tho girls nro carefully care-fully chosen and mado to pass qulto a stringent examination. Tho drat qualification is good looks; tho sec ond, n passablo education, nnd tho third good conduct nnd references. Tho waitresses tako rank ns railway officials and wear a pretty costume, In modified national stylo, with Western West-ern improvements. The girls on duty must bchavo with military discipline, tako no tips, refrain from chatter with passengers nnd efface themselves them-selves as much as a well bred waitress wait-ress should. Tho new departuro has been a complete success, and the railway rail-way authorities are greatly satisfied with their girl attendants.
