THOSE r LABELS.
The Way They Are Pasted on Lug.
gage Betrays Owners to the Wise.

gage BetrayS 10 the wise.
Many tourists consider themselves
the chief sufferers through the tip
ping system, but they are not the
victims. When they have really I'M
derstood the position of employer and
employed, especially in tourist towns,
they will probably agree that the
victim is the servant, who is engaged
to work for the hotel keeper and paid
in many instances by the guests.
In hotels where the proprietor pays
his employees full wages and there
are few-the service may be fairly
satisfactory, and it might be more SO
if all guests would refrain from tip
ping, but as soon as one visitor COM
mences this sort of bribery he is very
soon specially ATTENDED to, and other
visitors consequently lose their 1air
share of attention.
In hotels where full wages are not
paid the best service is bestowed On
those guests who give %gratuities, or
who are likely to do so, and this the
employe knows from the marks on
the luggage (they may be chalked on
by the servants at the hotel last Wis
ited) or the particular n IN
which the last hotels label has been
pasted on a trunk.
In hotels where no wages are paid
to those servants who come in direct
contact with guests the service is per-
feet if a tip has been or likely to be
given. If there is any fault with the
service the guest is probably the
cause OF it. Neglect to answer bells
is the chambermaid's simple way OF
limiting that her wages depend on
tips and that she requires a bride.

Ibsen and Freedom.

Ibsen. seems to be regarded by the
anti-suffragists as their W peculiar
property. When any one nowadays Is
announced to talk on Ibsen and wom-
an it is sure to be about anti-slffrage,
and so it was yesterday when Miss
Eleanor Ford expounded, reports the
New York Tribune, "Ibsen on the
Freedom of Woman's WILL" in "a
studio in the Carnegie Hall building.
In a dreamy, dull green atmosphere,
induced by lowered curtains and
closed windows, thirteen women and
one shy young man listened to the
lecture, which wasn't so tranquil as
it might have been, owing to the fact
that a near-Caruso in the music studio
next door had taken that time for
brushing up his minor scales.
Miss Ford said she didn't know
how many of her listeners were suf-
fragists; sac herself had reached the
soul-plane where she knew there were
no such things as suffrage and anti
suffrage, but not all women were on
that plane, and some women were
making a lot of trouble these days
by trying to exercise their wills like
1T is much more dangerous for a
woman to exercise her will than for a
man." said Miss Ford earnestly. Men
are so busy doing useful, mechanical
things, building houses and bridges
and keeping the world going, that
they can't do the harm women can"
Then Miss Ford talked about Elida,
1bsen's Lady of the Sea-" and ex-
planned that DR.. Wondel's calm, mas
culine way of proving to Elida that
she didn't want to leave him for the
stranger was symbolic Of the way the
men of to-day are settling the woman
suffrage question.

men are saying to women: Very
we'll, if you want the responsibility
of the ballot, try it. And when
the women hear this they know they
are afraid to try"

the near-Caruso next door in a de-
scending scale. And a suffragist in a
rear seat looked as if it did her a lot
of good to hear her sentiments thus
EXPRESSED.

The new coat buttons are gorgeous,
depending upon enamel, jewels and
brilliant color effects for their beauty.
Softness and fullness in attractive
lines result from the shirring that
has again invaded the realm Of dress.
Belts are worn in q very high,
round line, their great length making
them take a quaint, slort-waisted ef-
feet.
Square and ob1ong buckles, huge
in size and covered with -spangled or
jeweled fabrics, are seen on many of
the new gowns.
Among the new shapes in turbans
are the Rembrandt, the Henry ILL.,,
the Hussar, the De Stael, the Drum
Major and the Napoleon.
Bedroom slippers, crocheted of the
heavy mercerized cotton, are most at
tractive. The changeable cottons are
especially attractive.
Parasols will still have the very
becoming Directoire handle, and are
to be quite as elaborate as ever. The
canopy top IS to be popular.
Lingerie garments are narrower
than formerly. Every possible pleat
or gather is omitted and the lines
closely follow those of the outer
dress.
Blouses Of figured net of black and
colors are made up over white silk
Innings. The net, Of course, matches
the skirt with which the blouse Is
worn.
The colored lace wells which have
been worn to some extent the past
season, will continue in favor. The
white lace ones, however, have had
their day.
There is at present in Paris a
vogue for spiral effects and cross
bands, and especially does this idea
seem exemplifed in afternoon and
evening gowns.
Buttons will be used less for trim
ming, but more than ever for fasten-
ings. An innovation will be the
trimmed buttonholes, fancy braid
being used for this purpose.
Anything Russian seems to be in
style. The new Russian collars are
of white linen, hand-embroidered, Or
of a fancy white pique, piped with a
4! color to match the gown.
An attractive hat is that made with
a crown of embroidered muslin, while
the brim is Of some fine Italian straw.
The sole trimming is 4 crush band
or a few simple bows Of black velvet

WHY SHE CRIED.

Miss Muriel Million was sitting alone,
With q very disconsolate air;
Her fluffy blue tea gown was fastened
awry,
And frowsy and rumpled her hair.
rOh. what is the NATTER" I said in alarm,
"I beg you in me to conide;"
But she buried her face in her kerchief OF
And she cried, and she cried, and she
cried.
Come out for a spin in the new motor
car,
The motor-boat waits at the pier;
Or let's take a drive in the sunshiny park
Or a canter on horseback, my dear"
Twas thus that I coaxed her in lover-like
AS I tenderly knelt at her side:
But, refusing all comfort, she pushed me
While she cried, and she cried, and she
cried.
'Pray, whisper, my darlins, this terrible
You know I would love you the same
If the millions of papa had vanished in
smoke
And you hadn't a cent to your name.
If you came to the church in a garment OF

Though she cried, and she cried, and she

At speed that is a crime.

I'm aught but just a boy!
IT'S hardly fair to go so fast
That one runs into age

To have to wear the dignity
Of Solons grave and sad
Before ones really ceased to be

An old, stif-mannered man!
Time plays us tricks-no doubt of that.
He robs US of our hair:

With gifts of g%rievous care;
