Berlin Cafe Diners
Must Rent Cutlery
BERLIN. - An old and distinguished restaurant in the heart of Berlin, where some of Germany's important politicians of the imperial days used to gather, recently re-opened its doors.
A hundred pairs of its fine old knives and forks were laid out for the occasion.
That was a mistake in these days when knives and forks are virtually impossible to buy in Berlin. The guests took them all.
Now, if you want to dine in that restaurant you must make a deposit of 50 marks for the use of a knife and fork.
