Old Time Tipping.


The tipping habit is bad enough ev'
anywhere, and is worse in Europe than
here. In the eighteenth century it was
a greater evil than 1t is now. A writer
In the Coruhill Magazine tells some
stories to illustrate the old condition
Of things.
In Edinburgh in 176O the Society OF
Clerks enacted that all servants should
be forbidden to take tips and members
be forbidden to give them. This exam
ple was followed by other clubs and
societies. Today there is the rule In
most clubs against fleeing the servants.
An eccentric Irish gentleman, LORD
Taaffe, used to attend his guests TO the
door. and if they offered any money 10
the servants who were lined up Win
the guests baggage, the host would
say, IF you give, give it me- tor IL WAS
[ that did buy the dinner.
we'll known colonel while sitting
at dinner INQUIRED the names Of the
hosts servants. For" said he. y can
not pay them for such good dinner

Another eccentric gentleman, after
maternity redeeming his hat, sword,
cane and cloak. 10 the very bottom or
his purse. turned to the two remain
ing servants who were waiting obse-
uuiously, each with a glove. and said
afrably: Keep those. 1 will not trou
