SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR. UBLIC OPINION will support the newly-formed Waiters’ Union in any course short of actual violence that they may take in furtherance: of their resolve to get a living wage out of the hotels and restavrants and to abolish tips. The tip system is unjust to the employees of the eating places and oppressive to patrons. The laborer is worthy of his hire. He ought to get all of it from his employer nor have any portion dependent on the accident of the diner’s purse or mood, or prodigal NO. 18,372 or thrifty bent. That ought not to seem to come to him as a favor! which should be his of right. The diner, on the other hand, ought to be rid of the uncertainties and annoyances arising from an unde- fined obligation on his part which is not put in contractual form and fulfilment of which may appear weak good nature rather than justice done. The tipping system dates back to unhappy times when service of all kinds was “rewarded” rather than paid, when every man played the courtier because he had to, and knees were suppler than now. Other occupations have been emancipated and standardized as to duties and pay. It is high time waiters had their dubious “privileges” replaced with rights which other labor enjoys and they demand. Tipping goes with half-pay, and hours abnormally long, and em- ‘ployment conditions glimpsed in the statements of a physician that in Germany only a fifth of the waiters reach forty years, only half ever marry and three times their due proportion commit suicide. , It goes with the indignity of nightly search for concealed valuables to which many waiters are subjected. If the worst came to the worst and it were necessary for the waiters to strike in order to get proper pay and riddance of tips, * the public would support them to the extent of cheerfully buying delicatessen food and even eating at home. —_—_—_-+-—_____ DISMANTLE THE BROOKLYN YARD? OWNTOWN CHURCHES occupying sites that have become valuable for business have a way of selling out and relocating on cheaper land further north. That is abowtt what the Government is thinking of doing with the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It would like to sell the site of this yard to the City of New York for “from $15,000,000 to: $40,000,000,” dismantle it and create in Narragansett Bay a great naval base to take the place of the Brook- lyn, Boston and Portsmouth navy yards, using therefor the money obtained from this city. From the business standpoint going of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The yard occupies three miles of the most centrally located water frontage in the city—the Walla- bout Bay—and covers 144 acres, and the urgently needed docks with the attendant factories that would take its place would employ more men and originate-more business than this Government insti- tution. But it is not certain that some of the tand would not revert fo private owners instead of to the Government after the plant was removed, or that the city could pay the sum the Government expects w York could well stand the] vening World Daily Magazine, | i WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PEARL NECKLACE Jarr, sharply.

For, peradventure, as the thermometer of a woman's love riseth her sacrifices shall increase. But as a man's devotion warcth falleth off! Behold how he cometh the FIRST time, in a ghttering taxicab. He ia arrayed in his evening clothes, and bearcth orchids and marrons grace. and grand opera tickets in his hands. Lo, he leadeth thee forth unto the gilded restaurant and urgeth upon thee ALL the most expensive dishes upon the menu card. Yea, he is SO particular concerning the brand of the cham- pagne! And all his conversation is extravagant with praises and flattery and rich with repartee. Yet, upon the morning after, what hath it profiled thee—save a head- ache? But be of good cheer; for, as time passeth, there cometh a day when he calleth on FOOT, and casually haileth a HANSOM at the street corner, saying: “Let us find a QUIET place!" And, having led thee where the orchestra is of but three pieces and the service beareth no monogram, he regaleth thee with oysters and sauterne. And all his talk is of “sentiment” and “ideals” and the “higher love.” Yet, in the morning, it hath profited thee much, for thou hast still the memory of the LOOK in his eyes and the pressure of his hand at parting. But I say unto thee, my Daughter, not until he leadeth thee gently firmly unto a STREET CAR, hecding not the cries of the cabbies: Not until he bringeth thee plain chocolates in one-pound bores, and violets purchased upon the street corner, and BALCONY seats: Not until he guideth thee unto the red-ink table d'hote, and discourseth upon the higher cost of living, canst thou say in thy heart: “Behold, he is LANDED!” For lo, thus is he SAVING for the solitaire! - Yet be not downcast, for the worst is yet afar off. Yea, when the soli- taire is upon thy finger, and the bargain closed, then shall he lead thee forth no more. Then shall he come in his old coat and wearing yesterday's shave, saying: “Beloved, let us have a cozy little evening all to OURSELVES!" And thereafter ALL thy suppers shall consist of sandwiches and welsh rarebits, made by thine oton hands. And all his talk shall be of economy and wifely duty and the ridiculous price of millinery. For the blight of matrimony hath already fallen upon him and thy days of glory are over forever! Yet take heart and rejoice!
