The question of tipping seems
small enough in detail, but rather inn

A woman who spent last winter in
one Of the most sumptuous Of New York
hotels says she invariably gave q quar-
ter 10 her waiter at breakfast and lunch
con, those being meals taken alone. At
dinner time she was joined by her hus-
band, who always handed the servitor
90 cents
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the mans idea of what was due him,
and his Thank you, sirr' was bland
and gracious, but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex-
preston of gratitude from the recipi-

America that optional fees are so much
larger than they ought to be. A dollar,
which is common enough sum for a
man to give at dinner in a fashionable
restaurant. would make a French wait
er stare, although 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 a tip.
Thus person ordering a dinner that
costs 90 would, on settling his bill, add
10 cents for the attendant

persons will help on the reform.

OF Walnut creek. There were thou
sand acres of it, more by half than the
storekeeper's area. Luray in tho table

both the water front places. Luray was
not for sale nor likely ever to be. 1t
