advancement in the city next winter.

Though the tipping evil in fash
1onable restaurants-and many that
are not fashionable-is a serious
menace to good living on poor in
comes, the obnoxious practice is mild
in those places compared with the ex-
tent it reaches in the homes of the
rich Whether house parties were i'm
ported from the realm of Edward to
encourage tipping, or tipping was in
troduced to discourage house parties,
is a moot question. The salient fact
is that unless American hostesses do
something to check the system they
soon must content themselves with en-
tertaining one another, obtaining no
relief from the monotony in the COM
partnership of agreeable men and
women whom fortune has helped with
light hand. One little sister of the
rich complained the other day she was

them-'twas because I couldn't afford

There's hope for the little sister and
her kind, though. A St. Louis banker
made the departure, when he warned
his servants not to accept tips on pain
of dismissal, and promised them hum

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Along with the new fad of the
woman's military salute comes re-
vlval of the old-fa Shioned curtSey. 1t
has not been adopted generally to re-
place the slight inclination of the head
Or the more graceful bending of the
body at the waist line, but in Newport
this season many Of the younger wom-
en- have been seen to take the skirts
between forefingers and thumbs and
drop the old-time curtsey with as
much ease as their grandmothers ever
showed. With the full skirts of this
coming season the curtSey probably
will be popular. At any rate it is a
change and that is all society wants.
There is doubt about who was the
first to adopt it. Ruth Twombly dis
cussed it at an afternoon tea and the
curtseying. That they stayed UP all
night practicing before their full
length mirrors, to get just the right
dip has been confessed by some of
them. y.
