tion sofa, of course) and he will see
what he can do foryou. If you
look good (also easy) he may come
back in ten or fifteen minutes and
give you table. After you are finally
seated the second, third, or fifth as
sistant head waiter comes along to
take your order which he later on
presents to your de facto" waiter.
The real waiter has at least one and
sometimes two assistants who carry
the food to and from the kitchen
placing it on small serving table
from which the real waiter serves
you. If you should order wine, it
is brought by still another waiter,
who is known as the wine man and
again if you are wise you will know
he expects his tip as well as all the
others. When you have finished
tipping all this mob there is still the
maid who assists madame to put on
her wraps and the boy with your
hat, not to mention the gilded func-
tionary who calls your taxi-cab.
This may sound like an exaggera-
tion but it is all too true and the
ave rage New Yorker who knows
the ropes will probably tip from two
to three dollars with meal costing
around six dollars, including wine.
Over in Europe, natives will tell you
that Americans are fools and that
they have spoiled the walters by
overlapping them. This is no doubt
fact but the Americans who go to
+ Europe are so used to giving large
tips that it has become second ma
ture with them, and when they give
European walters New York tips
they are giving about three times to
much.
Tipping throughout Europe is a
. necessity if one wishes any kind
of service but the tips over there are
t so small in comparison to our coun.
7 try that one hardly notices them
For instance you jump into taxi
cab in London or Paris, ride three
or four miles and when you leave
you tip the driver about six cents in
our money. In New York driver

than a quarter for the same service

T Great Natural Bridge::-Is
one Of the Natural Wonders Of the
United States, and overlooks the
James river valley, being on the
western slope of the famous Blue
Mountains"
1t is just about the center of the
State Of Virginia and approaches
Niagara Falls in grandeur and ex-
ceeds it in height and awful mystery.
The walls are smooth, as if cut with
chisels, and there is no sign Of dis
placement. It is a single sblock of
limestone, with many shades of
color.

bridge far above me.
Carved upon this wonderful Ma

Lord Fairfax, visited the Natural
Bridge and carved his name where

After he was President, Jefferson
visited the place, surveyed it and

world, forI should not include the
city of New York, as there are many
fashionable restaurants in that city
where the walters look with disdain
on ten per cent. tips.
One young man, who was ldenti-
fed with this regulation movement,
took two ladies into Five O'clock
Tea" at the Waldorf one day, and
after consuming a few cakes and
several soft drinks, asked for his
check. It so happened that this
amounted to 1885, therefore when
the change of five dollar bill was
returned. the young man, true to his
principle, left thirty-five cents on
the plate and pocketed the dollar.
The waiter picked up the plate,
looked it over in a very insolent
manner and then walked over to
several other walters and gave them
look, at the same time nodding in
the direction of the young man.
After repeating this performance
several times the waiter finally came
back to the table and noisely began
to remove the dishes. The young
man, being a very good sport. stood
this as long as he could, then quiet
ly asked the waiter to send the head
waiter over, and when this important
functionary came, he said: A few
minutes ago I gave that waiter
thirty-fve cents for nothing and,
as he does not seem to appreciate it.
I wish it back" The head waiter
looked at my friend as though he
must be insane, but seeing that he
meant it, he walked slowly over to
the offending waiter and spoke q
few words in French, which caused
the latter to take thirty-fve cents
from his pocket and actually throw
it down on the table. The young
man picked up the money and left
and it is needless for me to add thai
he avoided that particular cafe fol
several months.
I mention this incident to show
that it requires considerable nerve
to fight a system and as the average
individual who can afford TO patron
ize such places prefers comfort an6
service to ridicule is it any wonder
that the "clubdom" regulation move
ment was soon forgotten. Tipping
in New York is not only an evil bu
crime for the tips are out of al
proportion to reason and unless ther'
is a reaction soon, it will be necess
ary for the guest to tip the waite
first and figure out how much b,
has left to spend on eating after
wards. If you have ever visited on
of the famous Lobster Palaces OF

The highest point of woman s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to-
be is often fearful OF natures ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering Incl

natures ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mothers
Friend is to be found a medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
1t IS an oily emulsion for external

which act with beneficial and sooth-
