pie think a big coin is worth
more than its equivalent In

gives you a 50-cent piece and

The way an order is given

You'll find that whether q
person tips well, or is a
penny-pincher about It, de-
pends almost entirely on his
psychology.
Walters are some Of the
most astute students Of hu-
man nature. often. they size
up a customer before he sits
down to be served. Walters
use one of two psychological
strategies for getting the best
tips:
The first is the "ingratiat-
ing" approach to you, the
customer. He tries TO win
your good will by being alert
and politely carrying out
your slightest wishes. He
hopes you1l appreciate-and
reward-his polite efficiency.
Most mattresses belong TO
this school Of thought.
The second school Of walt
ers have a different idea. To
get the largest tips. they play
on the customers insecure
ties. and make much more
doing 1t. they claim. They
hold that people tip less from
good will than from a sense
Of inferiority. They try 10

The whole art. walters say.
lies in planting In the Gus
TONER'S mind that he is an
altogether inferior sort Of
fellow. The waiter does this
by keeping his distance. and
subtly resisting the custom

That was a vacation.

That was q vacation.
No children. No house. No
car. Just debts. We owed ev-
erybody. Still, we had class.
Our apartment had a canopy
and the booze came up on
the dumbwaiter. She was gor-
geous and I wore a devil
may-care derby. Thirty years
ago this week, / said: Lets
60 to Florida"
She raised one foot,
clenched her fists, kicked
straight out, and said: "Oh,
good-o!" We got tickets on the
brandnew Eastern Air Lines
and took off from Newark
Airport. You could distin-
guish the runway from the
rest Of the mud because it
was darker. The plane was a
flashy Curtiss Condor
equipped with twin 600
horsepower Conquerors.
We had a pilot named
Richard Merrill. He didn't go
back to talk to the passen-
gers because he was afraid to
let go of the wheel. We flew
nonstop to Philadelphia, 70
miles. My wife squealed with
delight. This was living, boy.
This was wild. I pulled out
my engraved tin flask and
took a swig. Drinking was
okay, but no smoking.
NEXT LEG was Logan Air
port, Baltimore. A dream.
Then Washington. Fantastic.
On the ground, Mr.. Merrill
shook the water out Of his
leather helmet and goggles
and said: Folks, we stop
here tonight" I asked why.
TITS getting dark" he said.
That's why"
The next stop would have
been Richmond. Then after
that, Greensboro, N. c., then
Charlotte, Greenville, Allan

vile, Fla. then st. Peters
burg. A cinch. Except we had
a pilot who was afraid Of the
dark. Below Richmond" he
said gravely, sis what ! call
the inkwell. It's so black that,
unless the stars are out, you
can't tell up from down."
That's a good enough rea-
son. So we stayed in WASH
ington. In the morning, we
were off to Richmond with
flames a foot and a half long
coming out Of the exhausts.
This was q biplane and, when
we hit 100 m.p.h., the struts
