. One of the stories that gave much JOY
to the humorous writer's in the spring has
been recalled to many of the women who
made mental note Of it at the time by
their vacation trip experiences.
The story was to the, effect that there
was great discomfort among the employees
of the sleeping and dining car service on
roads leading to Los Angeles on account
of the refusal of considerable proper
ton of the women going to the biennial
convention Of the General Federation OF
Women's clubs to pay the customary tips.
According to report it was not isolated
cases of economy or clOseness of which
the porters and walters complained, but
the apparently concerted action of parties
travelling together. Such action meant
that man who had been in charge Of
car for several days got little or nothing
extra for his trouble. - -. ri.
The newspaper airing of the grievance
of the employees called forth numerous
replies from the women, most Of which
expressed strong doubts of there being
any real foundation for the story Some,
admitting that there was possibly partial
truth in 1t, defended the women who had
chosen to take this stand. The best ar
gument advanced for refusing to follow
the established custom of giving tips was
that it Is quite as unsatisfactory to the
employees as to the travelling public, and
that II people would take nrm stand IL
would strengthen the employees in their
demands that the method Of paying them
be radically changed, an adequate salary
be provided and. the tip system .be abol-
ished.
Vacation travelling expenses being fresh
in mind, some Of the women just re-
turned have revived the discussion.
They are unanimous upon one point, the
necessity Of giving tips under existing
conditions.

Mrs. Globe-Trotter's final position ap-
pears to be the most advanced that any
experienced woman traveller finds tenable
and there are many Of them who show the
white feather and bestow the accustomed
tip upon porter or waiter who not only
has given no service to warrant it, but
who has been dangerously near saucy.
The attitude of much travelled and
more broadly experienced business woman
is quite different, although the result is
about the same. "Yes; I always give tips

matter, for always expect to get special

don't give large fees anywhere. for that
is merely mark of ignorance or a desire
to make a display and those best able to
afford any expenditure almost never make
that mistake. It is the almost unfailing
mark of provincial. One OF the first
things I do In any new part of the world
or any new situation is to learn what the
customary fees for personal service are

and to whom the fee is due.

ALCOHOL A SKIN TONIC.

Everyone knows that frequent face wash
ing Is bad for the complexion, and If, when
you begin to feel sticky as to chin and oily
as to nose, you rub your face with fine
flannel cloth wet with alcohol, afterwards
rubbing 1T with dry flannel or chamois
skin, your face will be suffused with delicate
color and quite free from dirt. II your face
seems rough to the touch, not actually pim-
pied, only lacking in yelvety smoothness,
little alcohol gently rubbed in, either with
the fingers or flannel, has wonderful effect.
AS it removes every atomic specimen of dust.
it is a splendid thing for blackheads and Its
daily, use, If persevered in, will eradicate
the ugly blemishes. 1t will smooth out tired
wrinkles and lines and leave the face fresh
and spotlessly clear. After tiresome shop
ping expedition, rose-scented alcohol is the
best thing imaginable to bring up your color
and your spirits.

It seems hardly possible to realize that
within about three weeks summer will ac-
tually be over; that the summer girl will
be thinking Of going back to town and that
the summer vacation will be but little
more than a memory. Already in some
quarters the nights are beginning to get
aold and the summer girl can no longer
1un around in the same free manner that
ahe could earlier in the season when it
was light until 9 o'clock and she could

The person to whom you owe more

bravely, than any other person you

If your mother be spared to you, then
you are bound to make her a first

answer before the judgment seat of
God. She must be e~ncompassed with
every observance of comfort and honor
and gentleness and love. with sacri-
fees also, if so be it will please her, of
