There were the Texas Haverile, •big team, mien with blueblack beards and dhatlengiing eyes. There were the Pamhandio Havanna still farther west- we.nd. Then, still•' farther west were. the New Mexico Haverdls,, the Sun- down Haverils as they' came to be known,. Of the Sundown }taverns there was one called; Barry who in many ways could have been looked on as the embodiment of the awtstandaiwg quali- ties of the whale family. His father, Ben 1avesnl, was still a young man, 'testy and rugged and violent, generous add kitndly enough with hits stmal!1 .flock at most times, little shoat of a devil when in drink. His mother, Lucindla, wale one of the Oakwoodh of Vttrgintra who :still clung tenaciously" to their own family tradi- tions and pride. Et was she who had given her youngest pais name, which wasn't Bar- r at all but Bairn! She said proud - 1y that the had been a Baron Oak- wood long ago, which meant nothing to little Burry himself. In his latter 'teens Barry left home. He di-dnr't know why he went away. He dtithi!t. think 'about it. It was the forests palling Irina , During the • six or eight weeks be- fore he had any thought of turning Sack i. omeward he roadie many lorng iexpx 1, story trips toward both earth west through the mountains. On- ly twice in thrart time did he see hu- man beings. One ,day, toward sundown, he sat on a rock i.q; front of 'his cabin look- ing down -into the Ion.g sinuous val- ley below, a sight the seldom t tired brooding over. He had named it for himself Sum Creek Valley. He heard .:rifle shots muffled with distance in an intervening neck of the woods. He had never heard so many shots so close- together and wondered how many anew these were ands whet they could be shooting at. He got his answer almost insttanitly. These were several men shooting at a single rider who had fled on ahead into the lower end of Barry's. Sun Creek Valley. • He saw the fiastb of reddish yellow fire when the fugitive, fleeing no long- er, fired at this pursuers whom,;Bamry could not see.

Then he found his mother's letter. Over the fieeplace, a wan square in the ditoneSs, was, a sheet of paper on a nail. Barry took it down and read it settine on the Stoop.

When the bootblack, protested that his fee was a dime, iJhe redcap stretched; yawned, and 'retorted; "You'll take half . a dime or nothing." Then the lime of pointers descended to the lower level to greet -passengers who wede short- ly to arriveon the train from New York, with quarters, thalf dollars, and aro occasional dollar for service with their luggage. What if one of those passengers were to give.- that redcap a nickel? Probably his reward would be some open expression of contempt such as that which was 'bestowed on, a young couple of my acquaintance, on one oc- casion when they found that their luncheon check unexpectedly took all but tfive cents of the money'they had with them. The waiter held up the nickel as if it were a curiosity,' turn- ing it this way and rtahet(in an elabor- ate exhibition 'of ironical thankful- ness. My friend's only regret was that he did not respond to the ges- ture in kind and snatch the nd,ckel back. If you wish to introduce a provoca- tive subject into a party, try tipping. One day I tried it on a reporter who had just returned to the office from a luncheon, "You should have seen the check room attendants remove the nickels and dimes from the sauc- ers," he said, "and leaveonly quar- ters for seed." Organization dinners bring out. all the worst phases of the tipping practice. Having checked his outer garments and hat, Mr. Milque- toast knows that he wo•n't have the face to redeem them, for less than a quarter. Them he manfully does his best to swallow a poorly cooked and badly served meal that would be worth 50• cents of the dinner ticket charge of $1.75 if it had been well cooke51. Finally, he faces the inevit- able ritual of seeing the hitherto in- attentive and clumsy waiter slide a saucer upon the table with an osten- tatious "Thank you, gentlemen" Mr. Milquetoast sees square -jawed men' drop dimes into the saucer, but the is unable to withdraw his hand from his change pocket with Iess than a 25 - cent piece, in his fingers- There is something fundamentally wrong' with tipping ttheit the subject should fill so many people with dis- gust. Yet these same people will -tip regularly, 10 per cent of their bill for fooll, for, they know that the waiter's wages are calculated 3n the general proposition that they can pick up $12 to $25 a week in tips. There is, a certain satisfaction for many in pa- tronizing restaurants where the poliey is no tipping and the management means it: adding 10 per cent to the bill to be given to the waiters. In one chain in New York this money evidently all goes to the waiters. I tried leaving a tip behind en the ta- ble, while going to file cashier to pay the hill, and my waiter came up and slipped the coin onto the counter, alongside the change being given to me by the cashier. The words were, "You forgot something," and the speaker drifted away. It interested me that he did not say "Sir," that usual accompaniment of the .grovelling acceptance of a gra- tuity w'h'en more than a 10 -cent tip is given for a short taxi ride. Ten cents is good for "Thanks" or at Ieast a grunt from the general run of taxi drivers, when the fare is not more than 50 cents. And the some holds for barbers, when a shave price is 25 cents. But when the scented admin- istrations of the ,wielders of scissors, razors and pomades mount to fifty cents or More a 15 -cent tariff is ex- pected if you are not good at out - scowling sco People wh6 pay that additional 10 per cent on the bill in American rest- aurants fondly fancy, if they have not travelled, that they are participating in a Continental custom. They should know that .the 10 per cent, et many instances, might just as well be re- garded in Europe as a mark-up on the bill -of -fare prices, and that tips remain to be paid as usual. Tipping is a de'moralizintg practice, many' people will agree, but until ser- vice is placed on the basis of merit and paid for accordingly, it takes a pretty .hard heart to withhold that 10 per cent that the waitress probably desperately needs. Consider the girl who went to work in a Boatel). subur ban tea shop. Her salary was $3 a week, she was told by a proprietor who was able to keep a straight face while 'she explained that a waitress "can easily snake up a good week's income from tips." Out of that $3 the waitress had to pay $1 a week for, carfare and keep her hair and clothes looking neat, not to say at tractive.

You may no- tice that to puts the coin into a locked box, suet Tato her pocket. The box belongs to a coneessianraire, who pays ray high as $20,000 a year to stone cafe owners- in, New York that culti- vate tae moneyed clientele. The girl gets a small wager which is but a fraction of what comes out of that box every seven days, Some conces- sionaires' pay the girls a part of any tips of a dollar or over, and, on the whole, the hat check girls are to be enrv+ied 'lty many of those who depend upon the whims of customers. for their weekly incomes, People are often pretty silly about tips, Few soft-hearted persons can resist the sales talks of the,taxi driv- ers who have a sob story about the (dtifficulty of living on $15 a week, tips being the undependable thing that they are, and you have to support a wife land kids. So, stifling back the tears, the passenger gives the driver 20 per cent. of his fare additional in-' stead of the 10 per cent that he plans ned, and goes along his way virtu - misty contemplating bis charity in stead of Taming until he could reach paper and pen to tell the taxi com- pany what he thinks of such a scale of wages." Women are generally more pleas- ant about tipping than men, it is gen- erally agreed among thiole who ac- cept tips, but sometimes a militant woman comes along wthio gives well- earned gratuities only.-- Visitors from Europe used to be astonished that so few clerks in America expected tips. But not so now. Things' are getting to be as bad in the United •States as they are on the continent, travel- lers say. As late as 40 years ago, there was no tipping in America to amount to anything, apart from the gratuities that n•at¢arally go to rail- road and steattnship; porters and hotel bell -boys with their trades. The Pull- man porters erre appealed to the In- terstate. Commerce Commission to have tipping made illegal, but nothing ever came of their plea that the prac- tice made for discriminatory service. Some there are who would like tip- ping to be forbidden under the Cor- rupt Practices Act. Well,. state and city laws have been passed against tipping and repealed. Tips have ev- en been given legal standing under the National Security Act rulings in some cases. What used to be regarded as a re- ward for special Service is now a pay- ment due, whether er not decent at- tention is rendered. Same hotels pay the bellboys no salary, or a pittance, and there are eating places, accord- ing . to report, where the waiters re- ceive no wages, depending entirely 'upon tips. Some restaurants even take part of the waiters' tips away from, them, as came to widespread at- tention recently when a legislature in a western .state passed a law that re- quired proprietors of establishments that engaged in this practice of cut- ting in on. the employees' take to put up a sign to that effect where all the customers may see it. There are 28,000 low-priced• eating places in New York, which proved in a survey, conducted by an independ- ent source, that they could not sell food at their current rates and pay their help decent wages. Well, here, it would seem, is a choice far the restaurant patron, that he should for the sake of his own self-respect, if he cen afford it, patronize eating plac- es that are not trying to undersell their competitors, or compete on a disgraceful wage scale. Vainglorious tippers are objects of private ridicule from the very persons they lavish their largesse upon. Some people are proud to know the head waiter, to prove to the casual guest that they have been ill the place be- fore. People used to good, service oxpec't it and see no reason for pay- ing exorbitantly for it Tipping has now taken hold of tithe lower income groups, who feel that they must tip whether they can afford to or not. Patrons of automats Who receive ,no service have been known to leave nickels and dimes on the table, eind'icatiug their feeling that they must tip someone. Such wind- falls are collected by the bus boys or by other patrons•. There is a legend in France and England about one Jean Chariot, a self-made martyr to hie one-man, anti - tipping ,campaign. To every expect- ant servitor he hands a metal token which says on one sidle, "Tipping Is Beggary" and on the other, "Get Your- self Paid by • Your Employer." Long ago, M. Chariot exhausted the ppssl- betty of getting a shave without tip- ping, anywhere within commuting dis- tance of Paris and London.
