of his best friends, he said. They
were going back to the old country,
he said, where they might have
kings, feudal systems, bomb throw
ers and registration at police sta
tions for strangers, but where the
freedom of beverage has not been
lost. His friends wanted to get back
to where the alcoholic content of
the refreshment made men lose
track Of the regulation percentages
to walters. He mentioned the names
of two of his friends who had gone
back to countries they had left be-
cause of what they then thought
was autocracy.
The new Saturday night crowds
are driving him out of the waiting
business, he confded. In the "wet"
days tha Saturday and Sunday night
guests were always less profitable
than the weekday night visitors, he
explained, but now the attendances
on these two nights are maddening.
Only those with pay days on Satur-
days, those who work from 8 to s
or more, are present at the cabarets
on weekend evenings. The men
who can come into Offices any hour
they please, whose pay time is any
time they choose to draw out money
from their large and juicy accounts,
take their ladies to cabarets on the
other five nights. On these, in the
damp days, the tips average So to
50 a night, with 81 to IS on Satur-
day nights and Sundays.
1t is good evening at present
when the tips total up to IS, while
some Sabbath evenings the gratui-
ties are insults, totaling S3 or there
abouts.
The narrator Of the tale Of a
dying craft was close to honest tears
by this time. Every time he glanced
back into the past he came closer to
them.
why don't you go into the res
taurant business yourself and invest
those years Of lots Of tips in that
essential industry?" he was asked.
A couple of drops of the stuff he
has come to hate appeared in the
corner of his eyes. He was obvi-
ously and painfully reminiscent.
"Me?" he questioned rhetorically.
"Me? Why. all l might have saved
/ spent at cabarets, getting drunk
and giving crazy tips to walters"

There is an excellent opportunity
for all who wish to learn the law of

of it. With them the listener was
lavishly entertained.
A small waiter in large cabaret
on broadway, a bit up the street,
said that his name was Hoffman
and he had been a waiter seven
years, was unmarried, disgusted, and
thinking Of giving up the business.
He said that he couldn't go into any
selling business because Of his thick
accent. He could have ironed that
out years ago at night school, he
said, only he always regarded it as
needed in his business. A waiter
with an alien twist to his talk used
to impress people from outside Of
the twenty-mile radius Of any city
of the first and SECOND classes, he
said. But now, with his talk listened
to by cold, sober ears, the only place
where he could get money for his
accent, he complained, was in a
vaudeville circuit.
The average waiter in a local
cabaret used to clear between $50
and 500 q week, one waiter said, A
union walters base pay is a SO
bill a week, he said. Can any one
live on that7 he wanted to know.
Tips meant food, clothing and bring
ing up the family, he pointed out.
He repeated the word tips, first
wistfully, then bitterly. "Bahv' he
said.

Ping to get trains, the students Of the
new school go hurrying down the
narrow canyon of Thames Street,
and the swinging doors Of No. 80
are always on the swing.
So efficiently are all the lessons
and lectures arranged by the dean
Of this downtown abode Of practical
learning, Professor A. Wellington
Taylor, that by the time students
have checked their hats and wraps
and entered the classrooms all in
struction is in full career. There
is clockwork precision about this
college-not the hard precision of
the time clock, but Of a sober, Sc
rious clock That tallies Off the useful
minutes.
There is such a pressure for we'll.
trained executives In all kinds of
business these days that it will not
be many days before the staff of the
college will have to be extended to
take care Of them all. The banks
and the big importing and export
ing firms and the shipping COM
panies often pay the tuition Of the
students from their enterprises so as
to put them in the line of promotion.
There could be no better place to
get grounded in the principles of big
business than in the midst Of that
region where so much Of it is done.
