Here are some tips for the man who is going to spend his vacation in Europe and who, making his first trip across the ocean, is a little uncertain as to the tips he should give. In the first place, there Is always the question as to which class you are going to travel. first or second. Going to Europe second class is very enjoyable, but returning home that part of the ship Is generally crowded to the limit with the better class of emigrants and is not quite so comfortable
 l am giving tips here to first class passengers but the man who travels sec ond will find all Of It t-useful and as regards the money matters he can for his part cut the amounts in half.
 In Europe they blame the Americans for raising the tips out of all prOpOr- tion to the services rendered at hotels and elsewhere, and Americans must also be blamed for overlapping on Atlantic liners.
 Europe is tip-ridden to a certainty, but one can. give one or two cents there where one would be insulted for offering that amount in the United States. Fancy giving a Pullman car porter two cents for tip!
 To start or never tip as you go, but wait until the last day. Then with your last meal in the saloon tip the saloon stew ard or waiter who attended to your wants. Then in turn hand out the amount you are going to give to the other stew ards, and there are plenty of them. You need not hunt around for these men, but can rest assured that they will hunt you up.
 The higher officials, such as the doctor, the chief steward and the purser, are above tips, excepting from millionaires. It Is the underlings you must satisfy. There is one exception which will state right here. The doctor is supplied by the steamship company. He Is generally an English or Scotch doctor on holiday. He takes the job of a round trip on the boat for his health and because he likes the sea. He Is under no expense, but gets no salary. All the medicines he may supply to passengers belong to the company and are free. Ills services are also free. But should you or any other passenger have an accident or become more or less seriously i'll and receive lot of attention from the doctor, then IL is quite the proper thing to do to hand him S5 or Sl0 or more, depending on the gravity of the case and the amount Of extra attention which he has given you. In some cases the doctors are permanent on the ships and under salary. But even in such instance 1t is quite the proper thing to pay him somethin2Afor unre- mitting attention.
 There Is the secret of the amount of your tips-the attention that may be given you by the various stewards. l have known a man go in the smoking room and order drinks. He would pay cash for them and add a 10-cent tip. At the end of the voyage that smoking-room steward expected and got tip for the voyage. This was quite wrong.
 If you drink wine or beer or whiskies md sOdas with your meals or order many drinks in the srhoking-room, it Is advisable to sign the check and pay the purser or the steward on the last day of the voyage rather than cash each time. If you pay cash and hand out SlO bill, you get all sorts of change in strange moneys. There will be English and French and Belgium and German coins, perhaps a few bad ones, and you will scarcely ever get the full value of the exchange in your change. S
 It Is the same in the barber shop. 1T you go there to get shaved every morn- ing tell the barber so on your first trip
