arry one around with you. It is a nuisance. On the
ocean steamers the steward will attend to your little wants, and prepare
your bath for you in the morning, for which there is a fee, I think, of
twenty-five cents a day. It is customary on leaving a ship to give
gratuities to servants. To the cabin steward on English ships, ten
shillings, the head steward ten shillings, and your waiter ten
shillings. On others, for a six days' voyage, a fee equal to two dollars
should be given to your waiter and your cabin steward and to the head
steward. Servants abroad are feed on a regular tariff, which you will
find in the guidebooks. In this country the drawing-car fiend expects
twenty-five cents for a day's journey; fifty cents to a dollar for
longer and more extended service. At American hotels the waiters are
tipped when you leave, and a small gratuity given to chambermaids.

Courtesy, especially to women, is the one thing expected from every
gentleman who travels, and if you can assist any one in distress by
advice or by help of any kind do so, particularly if it is an
unprotected woman. But be very guarded in making new acquaintances. Such
as are picked up on the steamer, for instance, can be dropped as soon
as you land. Beware of the cardroom and the poker sharps who travel on
the great liners. Make it a rule, if you will play for money, never to
do so with strangers.

When traveling with a lady, always carry her bag and assist her in and
out of the trains. Your behavior is on its mettle under these
circumstances, and traveling is very apt to be like a mustard plaster,
bringing out both the good and evil attributes of a man.

The subject of foreign travel also needs a few words as well as a bit of
general advice. English customs and our own are so much alike that it
would be strange, indeed, if an American could not get along in the land
where his own tongue is spoken. One of the first difficulties which once
beset traveling Americans in London was the regulation in theaters that
the audience, or that part of it occupying the best stalls, should be in
evening dress. As evening dress is now also the rule in New York, this
quandary is a thing of the past. Programmes at many of the English
theaters are now free, where some years ago it was customary to sell
bills of the play for sixpence.

The feeing of servants at hotels, however, continues, and we yet have
the charge on hotel bills for service. You are expected to give
