The humble role of the “garcon” has been honoured in the gigantic fresco adorning the pavilion of industries at the Exhibition of Social Progress, which opened at Lille on May 14. Around the sides of the pavilion of industry a painted frieze displays types of the workers of France, the miner, the weaver, the farm labourer, the carpenter, the shoemaker, etc. But the artist has not forgotten the humble waiter, and he shows one of them serving a drink at a characteristic round table do a workman, taking his ease after his day’s toil.
