to you. Tell him coolly and firmly
that it is your privilege to decide
on the tip you choose to give.
On the other hand, avoidance of
this situation is very simple: Always
carry your money in every combina-
ton, so that you can pay the bill
and leave the tip" without waiting.
In first class hotels tips that re-
main unchanged are: Is cents to a
& bellboy for showing you to your
room, whether or not he carries your
baggage - 50 cents if you have
many bags. Ten cents for packages,
kilograms or any newspapers or peri
odicals ordered from newsstands.
IT'S IS Per Csnt New
lips for taxicab drivers are about
20 per cent for short trip. 10 per
cent for a long wait or distance.
General directions are that 10
per cent tips for small amounts are
no longer adequate and that Is per
cent should be counted. On the large
amounts, 10 per cent is still suffi-
cient unless you get special service.
Nearly all people have impulses
of kindness which they would like to
follow but are afraid to because they
don't know how to make them occa-
sional.
This last reminds me of story
about boy who was delivering an
armful of packages one rainy day.
The owner Of the house kept him
standing in the rain while she
talked with him. 'You poor
chiId!'' she said. you'll catch
your death Of cold"
When the boy reported this con-
versation to a friend, the frjend
asked: "What'd she give yuh?"
'Nothin' but talk"
This story does not mean that we
must all add to our everyday grocery
bill. But we could give a tip some
times when a package is heavy or
the weather bad or when the
same boy comes many times.

When, whom - and how
much should you tip
in wartime? Listen ..

TT SEEMS to me that any discussion
of tipping might well begin with
a division of the public into two
classes: those who really know tip
ping conventions; and the far greater
number who have no idea of when.
whom. or how much to tip.
The first of these classes needs no
further information. But in the sec
ond group are countless others:
those who. in the flush of wartime
prosperity. tip beyond all reason;
and those who want to be fair. but
frequently suffer public embarrass-
ment through inadequate tipping.
Within these past few weeks a
dozen different experiences have
been brought to my attention which

i HIS one example is typical of all
others: A young woman executive
took two out-of-town businessmen
to lunch at one of New York's big

$7.2O. She put a $l0-bill on the tray.
The waiter took it but did not come
back. Finally. she saw him at the
next table. Calling to him. she said:

She was helpless. She could not
embarrass her guests by hagghng
over the amount of the walters tip.
This has become common prac-

to what to do is this: Call for the

Life on a canal boat was primi-
tive: oil lamps, kerosene stoves, no
plumbing. If they made three
voyages a season, it was record.
A single trip consumed two weeks.
Often, winter would overtake the

on her final November run. Then
the Surprenants would have to wait
until ice broke in April or May.
But there were compensations:

II This Progress?
As WE discussed this, an odd,
swiftly moving little steel craft cut
by Pier Five. The G.D.D., one of
the Weighfwar's successors, was
finishing a Canadian run.
When l reached Pier 36, she had
already put into port. Everything
was hustle and business. Her cap
tain, Gerard St. Pierre, bossed the
unloading of mammoth newsprint
rolls. Dock wallopers swarmed her
top. The picturesque had been sac
rificed to progress.
The G.D.D. cost it's owner,
George Duncan DAVE, million
aire Canadian shipbuilder, around
$4,000. One of six, it is purely
business proposition. The only
steel self-propellers shallow enough
to navigate the Chambly Canal,
this Lilliputian feet has corner
on its particular market.
Where the wood canal boats
freighted bulk cargo, the Davie
fleet specializes in package goods
on its return Canadian trips. The
Odds 2O0-horsepower en-
gine has cut down the 452-mile
run between New York and
Montreal from two weeks to II
hours. St. Pierre and his crew of
six seamen sleep in steel hunks,
bathe in showers, eat food kept in
an electric refrigerator.
What did the Captain think of
this version of canal-boat life?
He grinned. "It isn't a life. it's
a lob"

The romance of canal

that used to run on South Street.
