IN line FRIDAY morning oaf0fe tne
California street bakery. The police
and military we're present in force
and each person was allowed only
one loaf. The homeless people In ths
parks and vacant lots were provided.
Fnr az speedily az possible. All
the stores containing provisions
bas been seizsd by the authorities. In
no other way could the distressed peo-
pie been fed.
Three relief stations for the home.
less have already been established by
the general committee. The stations
are Temporary home of homeless. Gar.
svans Of provisions are now on their
way to the three relief stations. In
the meantime the hills and beaches OF
San Francisco look like an immense
tented city. Not alone are the parks
the places Of refugees, but every large
vacant lot In the safe zones has been
preampted and even the cemeteries
are crowded. A well known young
lady of social position, when asked
Friday where she had spent the night,
replied: "On q grave"
4 few Of the families who could Sc
cure willing sXpresSmen are posssssors
of cooking stoves, but over 95 per
cent. of the refugees are doing their
cooking on little canp fires made out
Of brick or stone. Kitchen utensils
that last week would have been re.
gsrded with contempt are today ar
ticles of high value. Many Of the
homeless people are in possession OF
comfortable clothing and bed-coVering
but the great bulk Of them are In
need. The grass is their bed and their
daily clothing their only protection
against the penetrating fog of the
ocean or the chilling dew of the
morning. Fresh meat disappeared
Wednesday morning and canned goods
and breadstuffs are the only vic5uals
In evidence.
The common destitution and suffer-
ing have wiped out all social, financial
and racial distinctions. Toe man who
last Tuesday was q prosperous ner.

About giving tips to servants there
Is wide difference of opinion. There
are employers who are extremely an
noyed at the thought that guest un-
der their roof shall bestow fee or
gratuity on the maid or the man who
renders a service. Others are less
sensitive on this point, and have no
objection to allowing their domestics
to accept a tip from a departing guest.
AS company in the house always
means extra work for the help. they
are not to blame If they prefer those
guests who slip little money into the
hand when they are going away. A
lady may please maid as we'll by be-
slowing on her some pretty gift such
as stock, handkerchief, a ribbon,
or pair of gloves, as by giving her
money outright. Unless host and
hostess are known to be opposed to the
practice, a guest need not hesitate to
give small sum to those who have
ministered to his or her comfort
Years ago. man who was born and
had lived abroad most of his life, was
often a visitor in the home of a young
girl whom h. greatly admired, and
who later became his wife. Following
the European custom. he always set
his boots outside his bedroom door at
night, and he invariably found them
we'll polished when he opened his door
in the morning. He had been some
time a married man before he discov-
cred that the maid who had blacken~ i
his boots was the dainty daughter of
the house. She used to steal softly to
the door when all was still and carry
those boots to the bathroom, where
she cleaned them htrself The maids
who did the ordinary work would have
disdained this homely task which she
willingly took upon herself for her
lover, rather than give him a moments
embarrassment.
Host and hostess should plan to give
week visit. tits a great bore to
be constantly entertained. The free
dom of the house and grounds, liberty
to drive or row on lake or river. and
some degree of license as to reading,
writing letters. or taking walks are
greatly appreciated. II there are chill
dren in the family keep them some
what in the background. American
children are apt % exact quite too
much from those who visit their par
ents:
PrecociorA children are dreaded by
bachelors End young people who are
absorbed Atheir own matters and re-
gard kids" as rather superfluous wher
garden parties and picnics are on foot:
and yet some people suffer their chill
dren to tag along en- every occasion
whether they are in the way or not.
The children will have their innings
later; while they are little let them
have the sweet security and retirement
that BELTS childhood.
A weeks-end visit is very brief.
Make it ideal if you can.
