 Tale of

Never Takes Big Tips. Always Has Just inc
 Right Change !
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June 3.-Mr. Ogden Nash once wrote a poem about a taxi driver He was the incest taxi driven in New York. He always had change for a $5 bill He always said Main" to ladies. and Sir to men. When his customers asked him not to drive so fast he always said, "Oh, that's all right; I'll be glad to slow down." He didn't smoke or chew He never sassed policemen. In fact, he was the best taxi driver in the world. The only trouble was that he never made any money. The money was made by the tough taxi drivers, who snarled at strangers and shortchanged nice old ladies.
 do not know MT. Nash person. ally, but if I ever meet him I am going to introduce him to a party named Joe Bananas Joe is a bell man at the Hotel New Yorker, which is highbrow way of saying bellhop. But at the New Yorker that word is discouraged because it is said to be lacking in dignity.
 Sometimes Joe Bananas is the de- spair of his fellow bellmen because he refuses to take tips from nice old ladies. ;Oh, that's all right, ma'am," :" says Joe. T love to carry bags" When Joe refuses to take tips like this, it makes the other bellmen appear callous and grasping.
 Joe sometimes refuses to take tips from honeymooners, too. And he never takes tips on Holy Days. Joe is Spanish and good Catholic. His last name isn't really Bananas. Peo- pie call him that because his last name is practically unpronounce- able. He is certainly valuable man to have in a metropolitan hotel be- cause he speaks all the Latin tongues fiuently and understands Greek, Russian and German He has been a bellfop 25 years and bellman for ten more years. The 25 years were before he went to the New Yorker. is r
 If you know New York you will remember this hotel is quite little walk-if you are carrying heavy bags from the Pennsylvania Railroad station. This is sometimes a dis dressing business for the other bell- man, because Joe is stili shy about accepting tips. even after this long haul. The other day he lugged two reavy valises over to the station and put nice old gentleman on the train. When he got there the nice old gentleman gave Joe a 50-cent top. Joe said: "Ct, thank you sir, and here is 20 cents change Thirty cents is more than enough for the small service I have been able to render you" IF .s
 But if this as at times just a wee bit trying on his confreres, it is point that wins many friends for Joe among the customers. Through his long service as bellman, he has worked up clientele" that runs

choose TO call ii. What can DC

they are mostly all girls and ali

that It is high time I did some
thing about it. but what can

background or do miracles some

BETTY h.
Dear Betty b.: Miracles. IL
that is what YOU choose 10 call
them, often do happen, hut l
would rather call them the re-
.ult or reward. II you like. of
YOUR own efforts In trying 10
improve yourself.
Let us dispense, then, with
this oomph business once and
for all. As l have said, II may
help YOU win a man but YOU will

him. The man who il won by
oomph and oomph alone will
soon find himself wishing that
he had married good COM
panion. A girl who is under
standing, or perhaps someone
who is good fun and a good
sport. He wants a girl who Is
capable of making a home for
him and for their family. not a
glamour girl whose charms are
fast fleeing.
So net us dismiss oomph with
mere shrug of the shoulder for
it's not important; its value is
oyer-estimated.
So then, let MS have n look at
You and see what can he done.
Since YOU say YOU are thin. why
not eat more foods that are fat
tening and why not make II
point TO get more rest. Sneak
In n nap when you can. Drink
lots of milk. Get plenty Of out
door exercise.
You say that your features are
good so experiment a bit with
your make up and try to make
the most of your appearance.
II your hair Is unruly, shop
around until you find a beauty
operator who understands your
good points and your short
comings.
Choose clothes that give you a
lift. Keep away from drsb
colors. Accent your clothes
with a clever ornament or wear
hat that's a wee bit daring.
Then one day you will look In
the mirror and think that
miracle has been wrought, when
In reality you will have just
brought out some of your hid
den charm.
