penses. but not one cent for graft.
From the moment We struck the hotel
sidewalk I adhered valiantly to that
policy. In vain did walters. cabmen
and porters extend an itching palm
and importune with hungry glances.
I resolutely kept my hand out Of my
pocket. with results astonishing even
to myself. Instead Of the neglect that
had been prophesied ~ inevitable,
servants embarrassed us with lavish
attentions. grew vainglorious. Sec.

understand that you don't intend to
tip, and they will give you decent
service without 1t. II everybody

yesterday we moved back to our
own house amid the salaams OF the
hotel crew. To the last I stuck to
my guns. but fancied that noticed
a suspicious movement Of my wffe's

AZ to Adhesive Postage Stamps.

Rowland Hill had nothing to fear
from enlightened ohicers of health
foreboding that stamp licking" would
disseminate consumption, diphtheria,
smallpox and scarlet fever" It is re-
markable to recall with what enthusi-
asm the public took to stamp licking
In 1910. The adhesive stamp seems
to have been only an after-thought Of
the great postal reformer, whose orig
inal proposal covered only the sale Of
ready-stamped envelopes Even when
he admitted the adhesive stamp as an
alternative. he thought 1t would be
reserved for exceptional cases." But,
In spite Of newspaper jeers at "bits Of
sticking plaster for dabbing on the
letters the public soon showed ito
mind. The stamped Mulready en-
velope proved dead failure, while for
weeks the supply Of sticking plaster
fell far below It's demand.

the rules and regulations Of Queen
Victoria. She even went a step fur

timated that the men concerned in
divorce cases. az respondents or az
correspondents. would be regarded
with disfavor in the highest quarters.
Queen Victoria never visited her
displeasures on the men implicated in
divorce cases, save in the solitary In
stance Of Sir Charles Dixie. Indeed
several of her most famous and most
trusted ministers. such as, for in.
stance, Lord Melbourne. Lord Palmer
ston and the now octogenarian Lord
LANDAU, were mixed up in all sorts
OF divorce cases. without ever forfeit
ing either their offlce or her good
will.
Both King George and Queen
Mary, however. found that It was
quite impossible to put their avowed
Intentions into practice. They could
not exclude divorced women from
their court unless they barred there

Now, however. the situation has
entirely changed. Divorces have be-
come frequent in Russian society, and
despite the objections of the EN-.
peror and of his Hessian born but
English bred consort. the court has
had to open it's doors. Thus the wife
