In refer- ence to this, however, it must be said that it is utterly repugnant to the feelings of a host or hostess that a kind of publicly authorised demand should be made on their guests for a money payment at their departure. It is felt that Buy Cheap Pariet hospitality makes a long stride towards hotel-keeping when it is distinctly understood that some equivalent, however small it may be, is expected in return for so many days of accommodation and attendance. Everybody chafes at the knowledge that a guest, who may be poor, and to whom it is desired to show a real kindness, should be obliged to fee servants, even privately, as is Pariet Online generally done, but then it still remains a private business, which host or hostess does not acknowledge, and of which they disapprove. A de- liberate, public sanction would certainly convey the idea of acquiescence, even of approval. It is not likely that, considering human nature as it is, we shall ever get rid of tipping servants altogether, but we think that something might be done towards a great and necessary social reform if some leaders in society and great entertainers were to think it worth while to lead the way. If, Purchase Pariet Purchase Pariet Online in some of the big and hospitable homes of England, the host was to make a personal appeal to his guests not to de- moralise his servants by offering them money, a great step would have been taken. He might very reasonably and fairly make the request on the special ground that to give money to a man's servant is to interfere seriously with his private domestic arrange- ments, and is very much on a par with the social offence of tempting a good servant to leave a situation by the offer of higher wages. An Englishman's home is his castle and anything that distracts the complete allegiance of the retain- ers is to invade the rights of the home. Anything that has Order Pariet received the stamp of fashion, particularly Buy Pariet Online when it in no way involves personal sacrifice, has a very fair chance of being univer- sally adopted, and in a few years, we might see the practical extinc- tion of tips to domestic servants. There are many institutions, like residential clubs and others, where gifts to servants are not allowed, and though this rule is most strictly maintained, the service is none the less excellent in every respect. There is one occasion of neces- sary tipping which is peculiarly exasperating, and might, we think, very easily be removed. A guest at a great city dinner has little chance of any but the most imperfect and perfunctory attend- ance, unless he enlists the service of a waiter by either giving or promising some money, and, of a piece with this is the manner in which a plate is always placed ready for contributions at the cloak-room. Either the wealthy City Companies and other corpo- rations and individuals who enter- tain in London do not pay their servants sufficiently, or else these servants are guilty of very shame- less conduct in demanding an extra payment Pariet Tablets from their masters' guests for doing the special small duty for which they are engaged. It has occurred to us before now to have a piteous appeal made by a next-door neighbour, who has forgotten his small change, " For goodness sake, lend me some money, or I shall get nothing to eat and drink," and this when enough delicacies have been pro- vided to feast a regiment. Surely 1 68 BAILY S MAGAZINE. [March some reform might be here intro- duced by a very small amount of consideration. But the ramifications of the tipping system are endless. And the worst of it is that, as has before been hinted, all the original ideas of generosity and of free will have almost entirely disap- peared. For the most part we give, not because we will, but because we must. The recipient barely says thank you, and is apt to consider that he is receiving a •right that is due, not a favour Pariet Mg that is conferred. We give be- cause it is customary to give, because Pariet Cost our neighbours give, because we shall be thought mean if we don't give, and be- cause those who expect tips may very likely be sulky and disoblig- ing if they don't receive them. Perhaps among the changes which the twentieth century will bring, Perquisites and Tips may be among the customs of the past, that will perish. Coming Events. Another racing season is upon us, packed undoubtedly with as many surprises and causes for ex- citement as ever. Our popular sport, upon which millions are annually expended, and its inter- esting features, pale not in the slightest degree. What changes have we witnessed in its every department during the last forty years! Then it was no uncommon thing to see large fields of horses competing for a £^o Plate over a Pariet Price half-mile course, and racing was distributed through the provinces — hardly a county town being without its well-patronised meet- ing. There were little men who raced, as well as big ones — buyer and breeder competed — public sales of yearlings were in their infancy. The RawclifFe Stud Company were then the pioneers of breeding as a business, and a dead failure they made of it. Racing was then a healthy amuse- ment, where the mere monetary considerations were little thought of. Gate-money had not entered into the heart of sporting men, and the Jockey Club laws were of the ** go-as-you-please " order. Yet to my youthful ideas those were happy times for racing. Many a good racehorse blossomed unexpectedly on remote country courses, and many a good rider won his spurs in practising round turns, and struggling for a saddle and bridle. Then came the turn of the kaliedoscope — that dread edict, which Order Pariet Online closed all courses that could not show ;^300 a day added money. How well Buy Pariet I recollect sending up a programme of an
