Women are always condesCending
in giving money; men present tips as
a matter of course and with less show
The average tip is between 10 and
15 cents. Fifty-cent tips are uncom-
ilon and dollars exceptional.
a large tip is usually the result of

CAN SMOKE BUT
HOUSE MEMBERS CANT

Tallahassee. April ia Florida
state senator has something on a
member of the House of Representa-
tives. The senator can put his feet
upon his desk and smoke while the
higher body is in session but the low
ly representative must duck from the
House chamber and take refuge in a
corridor or committee room if he de-
sires to take pull at pipe or burn
a cigar. Neither can a representa-
tive tilt his chair and put his feet
across his desk while the House is
transacting business.
An effort in the present session TO
suspend House rule No. 40. that well
known provision prohibiting smoking
in the House chamber and putting a
ban upon the member who would like
to recline in his chair and rest his
pedal extremities upon his desk, fail
ed. More than half the members of
the House voted in favor of suspend
ing the rule but the smokers were not
strong enough to muster the two
thirds majority necessary.
