Hooray! >_/ By O. O. M’JNTVRK. The tip ia New York's supreme an noyance. From the casual nickel and dime it lias grown Into astounding figure*. Great fortunes are being made by those who mulct and annoy the public in this fashion. Fifteen years ago two bright young boys from the Bronx were hat check ers in the Hotel Aator. They were ir " .i*. '— dashery shop who experts h fee for suggesting the smartest things in men's wearing apparel. In fart I have never offered blit one tip that was refused—much to my embarrass* ment. It was on hii orran liner. l^ate at night 1 had railed a steward, lie was a relief man—an aged and rheumatic white-haired fel low. 1 wanted a drink of water, lie ---— NJO Slf?y 1 COULDlOT ACCEPT a tip, sirs, it s a pleasure TO SERVE YOU, SiR I not the kind to remain hat checkers. They paid $5,000 a year for the privi lege of taking care of coats and wraps and in return were to receive all tips. Thus was the first Hat Check Trust born. They branched out and soon had concessions for checking at every prominent hotel and cafe. Today they are millionaires, own several road houses, valuable real estate on West Forty second street and hav e been AngelR for several theatrical ventures. There Isn’t a waiter ai a first class hotel that doesn't expect a minimum gratuity of SI for serving two per sons at dinner. He sneers at less. We have been prone to blame hotel pro prietors and cafe keepers and while they have made no tacit resistance the fault lies mostly with the public. One of the most successful hotel keeperi? in America told me recently tipping could be stopped in a week by the simple expedient of every per son quit ting what has always been to them a nuisance. He said it would so disrupt the working forces of hotels they would have to pay higher wages and that once employes who are tipped secured decent wages they would never re turn to the old fee system. It is not probable, however, that this will be done. We of America are particularly keen for special service. It is warp and woof of one of our na tional ideals—creature comforts. I can In a measure understand now a. man accepts tii** but never under stand how he reaches that state of mind where he is willing to accept a Job whose t hief emolument is grai ni tons tips. Tipping in New York is not con fined by a very long shot to those who serve your meals, polish your boots or transport you in taxis. Clerks in hotels are not immune. Neither are theater box office men. steam ship and railroad clerks and many others whose railing Is high above the so ( ailed menial class. 1 know a manager of a haber will be In the city for the inaugura tion and entertainments have been ar range! bv the Nebraska congressional <1< legation at the Hhoreham hotel and by the Nebraska State ^issocintion at the Women’s City club. C. Vincent, of the Farmers' Grain company and the Omaha Grflin ex change, has been here conferring with Hecretary Hoover about radio matters pertaining to the Grain ex change broadcasting station. ■ >'■ ' " -= brought It and as something unusual on an ocean liner & imal bowl of| cracked ice. "A bit of ice, air.” lie haul, "to make it more tasty." I tried to hand him a small tip. "T couldn’t think of accepting it, sir, but I thank you. It is a pleasure for me to serve you.’ lie walked out respectfully but his head was high. America is the most extravagant nation in the world In tipping. 3° true is this that the Londoner and Parisian will tell you: "You have ruined our cities." It is an odd complex*. We despise tipping yet we do it. And no doubt will continue to do if until the millenitim. There i» a rather sporty bachelor In New York who as an experiment kept track of his tipping for six months. It amounted to about ^2,200. A lady in Atlanta. Oa., comment ing upon my discomfiture nt public speaking sends me the following story: A man was selected to present r fine sword to a returning hero. He spent days and nights preparing his panegyric—merely to ha\*» a had case of stage fright and forget it all on the fatal evening. lie stood up. gulped before the assemblage, turned to the hero and finally stammered: "Here's your sword." Tim hero, forwarned of the honor, had also prepared a lengthy speech of acceptance but he too. was <onfused. So lie a-iid: "Oh, is that It?” A certain New York novelist lias announced be will walk from New York to Chicago to get a wav from fawning flatterers ” All of which is a Gargantuan giggle to most scribblers. I do not i»eiieve there are people who follow novelists around to fawm nver them. 1 «ould believe it of a. prizefighter or a handcuff king—but a novelist, never! Half the people who read hooks remember the name of the book but not the name of the author. It is what they write and not the per«ons who write that interests the leading public. And speaking of writing T am al ways annoyed at those who speak of novelists giving the world brilliant themes. Any theme is interesting. It depends on how it Is done. St. Fran c is de Sales said something that is applic able to every novelist, I believe. He wild: “Perfection does not con slat In doing singular things, hut it does consist in doing common things singularly well." The most Interesting newspaper story 1 ever read appeared in the X. Y. Sun, during the Dana days. It concerned an apple woman who gave Russell Sage an apple. It was more than a column long and every line of It sparkled with humnis, pathos and philosophy. Actors, too, have the sublime no tion that all eyes are focused on them wherever they go aqd this is responsible for exaggeration in dress and manners. Rig men never feel this way. As a reporter I once walked from an office to a cafe with a party that Included Theodore Roosevelt. Kach one of 11s, basking in his re flected glory, was much more self conscious than he. lie had grown used to the world acclaim. It meant not hing. There is a feeling in New York that the "man milliner" is most effeminate of men. ile is the target for stage Jokes. I know one who is tjbout the masculine person 1 know. I once saw him in a scrap lliat was forced upon him and lie knocked three men bigger than he for the conventional loop of bananas. There Is a lot of amusement watch ing the Camera Brigade at the New York piers. These are the pews pic torial men—as alert and nimble a crowd as may he found anywhere. There are possibly 30 of them and when they find a likely subject they line up before him and keep him amused with their good natured per siflage. If one Is Inclined to be up stage they josh hint out of It and every one leaves them smiling. All are young men In their early 20s. They are high salaried youngsters who look upon the world with the amusement of those who consider it Iheir oyster. Stage stars are their "meat," for they know that their erase for publicity will make them accept suggestions for almost any sorl of poses. It is the unusual they seek—ladles sans stockings and wear ings sandals, ladies with new fash ioned hobs or facial cosmetics, Uidics carrying marmosets or antediluvian ant eaters. A man In the Bronx ha« built a two-seated motor car for his 7-year-old daughter. It |s fitted wit it a one horsepower engine and ihe child Is enjoying dally drives through the parks In upper New York. 1 f*npvrl*M. 1 9> Solution of yesterday’* puzzle. <r*oji.vi Ishf. 1 v I ) ([EUROPE]] on American Ships GO to Europe th.s year via the United States Linea.
