A PERNICIOUS" CESTOM.
John Blunt, writes in the Jaily Mail: Although à conference of Swiss hotel- keepers and workers bax devided that the time is not yet ripe for the abolition of the tipping system, nevertheless it is a sign of grace that such a conference should have been held, and one may hope though I confess 1 do not feel very | optimistic-that it is the leginning of the end of a pernicious custom.
I do not so much object to the tar, moks of tipping, current in some foreign coun- trien, which Switzerland is now going to
Mr A. W. Grahạm adopt, that consists of adding a percent-
Mr N. C. Bunlin..." nge to the bill for the benefit of the
Mr & Mrs Carleton employees--though why the visitor should be amuleted for the benefit of other (ap. & Mrs I. AL- people's employees I don't quite under Mr & Mrs W, A. R. | stand--because that puts everyone on the
Dongla same footing, preventa favouritism, and Mec. y. Duna lets the visitor know exactly how be Mr J. I. Duran
stands; but 1 do strongly object to the | Miss Eccles kind of blackmailing and parasitic atmos- | Mr TT. J. Eddo where which the tipping system as engen-

- BRUWERTY FOR COMFORT,
Of course, people ought to be paid pro perly for their work, but they ought to be paid by the people in whose employ they hre, and their seal of wages ought not to be reckoned on the basis of other people heing morally compelled to help but the employee. It is unpleasant to think that wherever one goes one's com- fort is deprudent on a graduated scale of bribery-for that is what it amounts to."
The whole thing of not only thoroughly bad for the national charecter, but it is also utterly illogical Rieh men by mere cureless expenditure, set a standard. of tipping which is a severe drain on poarer men, Aud yet if buy wants to avoid black looks and to obtain proper service one often has to tip ut a cats altogether disproportionate to the value received. The system has reached a stage where it is devoid of common sense "and where almost anybody may expect a tip at any momeup.
