and anxious, and this anxiety spoils
your meal to some extent. In the diner
YOU have all the time there Is, the waiter
brings you exactly what you wapt, jol-
lies you little, gives you flower for
your buttonhole, and thanks you very
nicely if you leave him some extra
change when you pay your bill. He
doesn't get very large salary and APP
preciates the tips which he gets from
the wealthy people who travel. Some
travellers have money to burn, but you
don't need to give him a cent unless you
want to.
When you get sleeper accommoda-
tons through, you are entitled to a
seat in the sleeper during the day, but
IL you get berth just for the night,
and then go into the day car it costs
| If it is the tourist sleeper. Pullman ac-
commodations are higher.
In one end of a sleeper is wash
room and dressing room for ladies and
in the other end is one for gentlemen.
Most of the passengers dress and I'M
dress in their berths, but arrange their
toilet in the dressing rooms. In each
berth, hung against the wall, is a little
hammock for you to put your clothes
and linen into. Put your valise and
shoes under the berth on the floor, and
when you dress i'm the morning you will
find that the shoes have been polished
during the night. The porter is not re-
quired to do this, but he does it. If you
have an upper berth, the porter will
bring a step ladder for you to use in
getting into your berth if. you wish it.
The Pullman conductor will take your
ticket and give you little slip to keep
You may not see that conductor again
on the trip, but in the morning or at
the end of your journey the Pullman
conductor will call for the slip, and re-
turn your ticket to you unless you are
at the end of the journey Before you
get off of the cars the porter will brush
your clothes. He is not required to do
this, but he does it because travellers
appreciate it and because some of them
pay him for these little attentions. |
Some give him a dime some dollar
and some give him nothing, but make
kick about the rules and prices which
the porter is not responsible for He |
doesn't get a very large salary, takes
all the kicks, and tips and compliments |
rendered by the travelling public, and |
hardly ever gets rich. You don't need |
to pay him a cent unless you want to,
and if you have left your handkerchief
under your pillow, or your watch or
purse or your knife has lost out of your
pocket in the berth, he will find it and
follow you out into the crowd to re-
store it to you if possible. That is a
part of his duty and he does it on the
spot.
When people are travelling they gem
arally show what kind of stock they
ire. The little narrow soul that never
1ad anything in TIE world, tries to tell
he conductor about the rules of the
Dad, snubs the news agents, kicks about
he speed and the service and is cold
ind Indifferent to anyone who tries to
'e neighborly and sociable. 1t is a safe
'ule for you to- remember when you are
IN the train that there are several pas
'engers who would like to chat with
'ou, but they want you to open the con-
'ersation. The earlier you begin the
asier it is for both Of you, but if YOU
ret snubbed sometimes, you are only
'ettlng what all others get occasionally.
When you board a steamer and it is

or seamen will be stationed at every
DOR, passage and stairway to prevent
our passing till all tickets are taken
p. When you have leisure, read the
ules posted on the walls and in the
alls, and practice putting on the life
reserver in your room. These things
re of no use to anybody except those
mo understand them. and it will add
to your life and your char
cter to add all these things to you as
GU go along.
When you travel you will part with
our money and gather information, ex-
erlence and satisfaction. Before start
