TACT IS REQUIRED IN TIP PIN 6
 ASSISTANT

For the woman who travels there is always the problem of tipping the helpers on the train and at hotel or boarding house. Eight women out of ten who are inexperienced in such matters forget 1t entirely, and the oth- CT. two give too little for the services they have exacted or, too much for those they have not received. In Eng land in fact, where the tip is almost automatically arranged according to time and services the tip too big is as
 much despised as the one too small.
 In the common car of aAtrain there is no tipping unless one choose to fee the brakeman, who opens and shuts windows on request. In the parlor car 1t Is another matter, porters being specially set apart here to look to the comfort of the occupants of the lux urious chairs. A days Journey, with the small services usual in a. parlor car, would call for fee of 25 cents to the porter; trip from New York to California, taken in the same lux urious manner, would suggest a fee of from $3 to $5 to the attentive porter. At the little country boarding house where members of the family or friends of equal social standing are often the only helpers 1t might be con- sidered a great break to offer money, kut kindly services should always be rewarded by some pretty little gift or other before the guest takes her de- partlre.
 Twenty five cents a week at a small country hotel is an adequate sum to gice each helper who has had any thing to do with the guests comfort

JEANNE HACHETTE.

Jeanne Hachette. als known as Jeanne Fouoquet, was heroine of Bauvais, in Picardy, France, who successfully headed a body of women in an assault upon the Burgundians during the seize of her native city in the year 1470. When the Burgun- dians ascended their ladders to plant their standards on the walls of Bau- vais, Jeanne, with battle-axe, drove several of them back, seized their flag, and brought about their utter defeat. After the battle Louis XI. of France rewarded her for her bravery by exempting her and her descenda ants from taxation. She later mar ried Collin Pillon. In commemora- ton of her intrepid conduct there fs an annual procession at Bauvais, in which the women march at the head of the men. The flag which the he- roic woman captured is still to be seen at the church in Beauvais.
