Tips On An Atlantic Liner.

I and pay the exact amount of the bill no tip. mind you, until the end of the voyage Then when you have had your last shave give the barber an extra quar- ter or shilling or, If you have had good attention, two shillings in English money, which is equivalent to 50 cents. If just going into the barber shop once during the voyage to have your hair cut treat matters just as if on shore. and tip the man 10 cents or whatever you may have been used to giving.
 Your two most important stewards are the saloon steward and the cabin stew ard. If you have had good attention from the saloon steward give him tip of half sovereign, which is the smallest of the English gold pieces and about. equivalent to s25O. You can give the cabin steward the same amount If he has been extra attentive or If you have given him any special odd jobs to do, such as brushing and folding and packing your clothes. Otherwise five shillings in Eng fish money is quite enough for him. This is SIPS.
 The deck steward should get the same sum, provided you have used him to any extent. He is the man who looks after your deck chair, who brings you the ocean daily paper, who has charge of all the games for use on deck. such as quoits, golf, shuttle board and cricket.

 Usually there is a concert on board every trip. The money gained is paid over to a sailors home or orphanage. There is no admission fee charged, but the hat Is taken round during the con cert. Give what you like. If you have plenty of money remember that the cause is a worthy one. If you have just enough for your vacation trip and are running on economical lines, a quarter is A decent sum to give.
 It is better either going or coming to give your tips in foreign money, for it seems much larger, both to the recipient and after a while to yourself. This Is particularly the case with French, or Belgian money. When changing Amer ican money on the steamer go only to the purser.
