EXORBITANT TIPS.
They Prove Severe Drain on People
of Small Means-system Ia
Altogether wrong

The tipping" question is one to be
carefully taken into consideration be-
fore ending round of visits or an itin-
erary. From time to time discussions
have arisen as to the possibility of do
ing away with the douceur. Some
people have steadfastly set their faces
against it so far as their own house
servants are concerned but it is ohvi-
ously impossible to put an end to the
practice altogether, because there are
some people who would always persist
in buying attention and favors, what
ever might be the custom, and others
who would "tip" from sheer generos-
ity, but we may well pray that some
kind of restraint may be laid upon the
very rich, who nowadays are so many
in number.
The millionaire is no longer a rara
avis. and If the very rich set the en-
ample of presenting douceurs of such
magnitude that the aggregate sum Of
their tips while visiting here or stay
ing there is duly Photographed. how
many of those of limited income ever
hope to win any respect or command
any attention? The result of such alb
solutely indiscreet generosity is TO
make it almost impossible for those Of
limited means to go about at all, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. How. for ex-
ample. can women with purses but
sparsely lined accept invitations to
stay in the same house with the wives
and daughters of men who think moth
ing of giving SIS where the less endowed
can give but so cents? The system is
altogether wrong; and if hostesses al
low their servants to receive money
from their guests they should take
some means of making it known that
it will be taken as a personal favor if
a certain sum is not exceeded.
