The statement is confidently made that the taxameter. or cab-fafe indt= cator. will quickly be introduced in all the civilized cities of the world. Ii appears that in both Berlin and Lon don. where the taxameter has been adopted, it has been as popular with the "eabby9 as with the fare" The reason of this surprising fact is that this system of automatic fare indiea' ton effectively and permanently ln- ereases the number of fares. Many persons object to ride in cabs because of the possibility of an altercation with the driver as to the amount of the fare when the trip is ended. Ali that is put at an end by the taxame- ter, which shows, in plain sight, the distance trayersed and the fare to be paid. Consequently more persons are riding in cabs today than ever rode before, and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent. The taxameter also enables the pro- prietor to control and check the daily receipts and efficiency of the vehicle or the distance covered by it. More over. since the apparatus calculates the fare on the basis of the distance covered. the driver earns his money quicker according to the rate at which he drives, a system equally profitable and agreeable to both passenger and driver It is said that the cab pro- prietor who has once introduced the fare indicator can and may no longer conduct his business without it. In Berlin, where the taxameter introduc- ton at first was strongly opposed by masters and men, $500 of the city s $500 flrst-class cabs are now fitted with them.

Do not try to serve such an elaborate dinner that the work of getting it ready will draw so upon your physi- cal powers that they will be strained to their utmost endurance. When your visitors arrive greet them with a hearty handshake; make them feel that you are ready for their coming; speak of the pleasure that you hope the day may bring; compliment them on their good appearance; notice the neckwear, the dainty handkerchief; be thoroughly interested in each and every one When the time comes for you to prepare the dinner and place it upon the table leave your guests as gracefully as possible.
