THE TIP NUISANCE IN JAPAN.

A story is published in a Tokio paper of a waitress who has amassed Y,500,000. in tips and is sa'd to be living in a grand. style in her private residence though she still continues to hold her position as head maid

it has taken her to save this large sum a restaurant. How long

three years after the arrival of Commo is not stated, but as she was born in 1856,' dore Perry, in Tokyo Bay, she is, obvi- ously, no longer young. Commenting on this story the Japan Chronicle says that of late years the bad example set at popular summer-resorts and other places has raised the expectations of servants *and attendants to such an extent as to strike disney in the hearts of light pursed people. A rise in the scale of tips affects other prices also, and visitors to Japan from Shanghai know to their cost how much the latter have risen during the past ten years. A holiday in Japan used to be cheap. To-day it becoming more and more expensive. And the tip nuisance is to some extent responsible for this.
