Where tho Tips Go.

why, don't the small boys just
pocket all they get?" inquired she.
Pocket! Their uniforms are made
without sign Of pocket so that none
of the tips can find lodging there.
Those boys get nothing but a salary,
which is paid by man who has pur-
chased the check room privilege for as
high as five thousand year. The tips
are all turned into him. You can
imagine what the privilege is worth
when he can pay down that sum for
