REVIEW OF REVIEWS.

blem, especially to those whose purse is 

 not bottomless. Tips vary on different 

 boats and on different lines, and on none 

 is there what might be called a lixed 

 tariff. Roughly, it ma)- be taken that 

 the tips need not exceed 5 per cent, of 

 the fare paid, with a minimum of ^^"3. 

 The table and stateroom stewards will 

 expect at least a pound each, although 

 they often get as much as £^. The 

 amount given the others will depend 

 upon what services they rendered. The 

 "remembering" of the chief steward, 

 and still more of the purser who, by the 

 way, would be much distressed if an\- 

 ignoramus confounded him with the 

 former, is a matter of considerable de- 

 licac}- ; but seasoned travellers who wish 

 to have the greatest possible comfort 

 during the voyage, generally contrive to 

 do it adequateh'. Between England 

 and America the tip " tariff " is now : 

 Table steward, 10/- ; stateroom 

 steward, 10/-; bath steward, 5 -; deck 

 steward, 2/6; smoking room attendant, 

 2/6 ; boots, 2/6. 



IN HOTELS. 



Another source of pett\- worr\- to the 

 inexperienced traveller is tipping in 

 hotels at home. Man}- of the most popu- 

 lar in London and on the Continent 

 have now requested their guests to aban- 

 don the practice, to the jo\- of their 

 visitors and the prompt increase in their 

 number. In Europe it is customary to 

 give the waiter 10 per cent, of the bill 

 in restaurants, m England a penny in 

 the shilling suffices. In man\' of the 

 smartest restaurants they expect more, 

 but in most this meets the case. After 

 sta\-ing a week at an hotel, about 10 per 

 cent, of the bill should be divided in 

 tips amongst the head waiter, who, even 

 if he has done least, generally gets most, 

 the waiter, the head porter, the lift bo)-, 

 the boots and the chamber-maid. Six- 

 pence a night is a fair tip for the last- 

 named. She is not infrequently forgot- 

 ten altogether though. If the stay is for 

 more than a week a much lower percen- 

 tage will suffice.
