GROWING TIPPING SYSTEM.
The OdiOus Practice HAS Become
Firmly Rooted Here, and It's
Scope Is widening.

Summer travellers who have not es-
capped the institution of the tip, wher-
ever they have been, return to New
York and find it still in vogue here. It
seems to be on the increase-nOt at all
on the wane, says HaTper's Weekly.
Not only is the waiter invariably
tipped, except by very brave men and
women, but the barber is tipped, the
professional large-scale bootblack Is
tipped, the attendant and the baggage
man in railroad stations are tipped,
and there is even a story abroad that
statesmen and saleswomenin stores are
expecting a small gratuity when they
have been attentive and courteous. It
Is an evil; 1t is even a wrong. And yet
it is not to be surmised that even so
PRACTICAL a people as the Americans
must have found some element OF
value in the custOm?-else they would
not have adopted it. The proposition
has to be looked at this way: Suppose
you estimate that the Viands served
to you in a certain way, at a table
d'hote dinner, are worth one dollar to
you, which Is the amount of your
check. But suppose you consider that
the same viands are worth $1.15 to O
II served in another way. A certain
degree Of comfort at a meal; acertain
amount Of friendly information about
the bill Of fare; certain small services,
outside Of the breaking Of eggs and the
opening Of a napkin; and possibly q
flavor of cheerfulness and benevolence
overspreading the bOard-these things
may really add to the value Of a meal.
You pay $1.15 or $1.1O, instead of one
dollar, and the waiter gets the differ
enee. May there not be quid pro quo.
after all? And into the account must
be figured the Ehortness Of life. and
some consideration of the price that
the poor men have to pay for coal and
beef for their families, and the costli.
ness to you in gray matter of all hard
hearted opposition Of people on points
Of principle. Moreover, the DAYS Of
the extravagant tip are over, at n
rate, in New York. There were days
when it took a bold man to tip with
less than 3 quarter. Nowadays a ten
cent tip is ample for ordinary res
taurant meals, while a regular tip OF
i've cents on a luncheon is gratefully
accepted, and secures the most cour-
teous and cheerful attention day by
day.
