Of course, the check girl doesn’t keep that tip given her in exchange for a hat and coat when the biz dance is over. No, not even that 50-cent plece put in her hand in return for a happy smile. She tosses it in the box, with all the other coins collected by her colleagues, and when the last thin dime is in she locks it and turns it in to her em ployers, a national checking concern which operates from New York City. At the same time she was handed wages for the evening—e. 2 or, if she happened to be & employe, $3. { Pald Regular Wages.
