Crusty Bachelor Wants to
Know Why 1t Is That
Women Never in All of
Their Lives Give Hat
Boys, and Walters, and
Sechlike, Tips for Ex-

Why? the Answer.

EAR CONDUCTOR OF the Col
umn-why don't women ever
give any tips to servants. I
have tried to reason II out all
my life and failed. Women never give
tips. They are not stingy either. They
will braEenly walk away without tip
ping q waiter or else give him a nickel
and call It square. What IL the answer?
No matter how generous q woman is
she simply won't tip. They can't seem
TO conceive Of the idea Of tip. They
don't get the tip question. And always
look with longing and begrudging eyes
at the money when we tip the waiter.
Give a guess.

You can't imagine II. can you, poor
dear Crusty Bachelor Doesn't that

But then you are q man. Just like a

You see women don't tip for several
good healthy full-grown reasons. To
l..
wait on them and do things for them
at home, without being tipped.
Q. They think that any person who
works In the great business world ought
TO get living wage.
.. They feel It an extravagance ana an
injustice to add TO salary already de-
cided upon by t.-e proprietor. II he
was worth more he'd get more. says she.
4. They never get extra pay for the
nice little attentions around the house
t.h
the waiter for doing. Why should she
pay him for the very things that
she not only docs without pay. but does
without expecting extra pay?
Then. too. Crusty Bachelor. did you
ever think Of WHY you tip?
Isn't II becausc you feel terribly full
OF gratitude for the perfectly strange
man or woman Who thinks enough Of
you to give You personal attention such
as would IA wife or a daughter? (Whom
you would never tip as long as you live.
