THE TIPPING QUESTION.
How Ii Is Practiced at Home and
Abroad and the Need for n Reform.

ABROAD ana the Need Tor n REFORM.
From the Illustrated American.
The question of tipping seems small
enough in detail, but rather important
when exaggerated.
A woman who spent last winter in one OF
the most sumptuous of New York hotels
says she invariably gave a quarter 70 her
waiter at breakfast and luncheon. those be-
ing meals taken alone. At dinner time she
was Joined by her husband. who always
handed the servitor 30 cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill the
mans idea of what was due him. and
his Thank you, SIR was bland and gra-
cious. but the lady's modest quarters al
ways found their grave in the black waist
coat pocket with no expression of gratitude
from the recipients face, which wore
meaning look, as OF one who says: 'Wom-
en- are mean, an never knows 'ow to do the
right thing by man; but one 'as to put up
with 'em."
1t is only in reckless. good-natured Amer
lea that optional fees are so much larger
than they ought to be. a dollar. which Is
a common enough sum for man to give
at dinner in a fashionable restaurant,
would make a French waiter stare. al
though he would have the presence Of mind
to pocket it quickly.
In Paris there is an unwritten scale
which apportions per cent on the amount
of a customers bill as tip. Thus. a per-
son ordering a ulnneE INdt Gusts - WOuNis
on settling his bill. add 10 cents for the
attendant.
1t is time we had either a legal or inform
al rule governing tips in this country. and
it is to be hoped that some rich persons
will help on the reform
1t will never be done by those whose
means are really small enough to feel the
tax. for it is one of the errors of the impe-
cunious to feel obliged to show as much
liberality as millionaire. even II, like the
guest in "Charley's Aunt" he has to bor-
row half a dollar from the butler with
which to tip him.
