Yankees Branded Mean .. =. !. .
"a. for Economical Habits

London, Aug. 1s.-No little annoy
ance has been caused American visit
ors by the publication In newspapers
about their alleged meanness, how
they sleep in the best hotels but take
their meals economically elsewhere,
never drinking anything for "the good
Of the house, and never dreaming Of
tipping servants.
No doubt it is true in some cases
that they do not give tips, but by, 50
doing they are only aiding English
men to accomplish what they, as
rule, would like to see, namely. the
abolition Of tipping.
All caterers, however, do not con-
slider American visitors stingy by any
means. AS Benoist, manager Of Prin-
cess said: .sMany Americans are ex-
cessively close, but that is from no
economic, motive. Americans, as rule,
drink less at meals than the English. -
Another restaurant manager said 1T
was true that Americans often drank
nothing more than ice water with their
food, but he added that he knew many
who would, have a bottle. Of cham
payne before luncheon and brandies
| and sodas afterward, ice. water with
their dinner and then wind up the
| evening with champagne. 49, - X -
