Tact.

There is a certain middle aged bachelor in this town who makes it a practice never to give u tip at a restaurant or case. And he boasts that waiters think Just as well of him and that be never leaves a table without receiving every attention, obsequious bows and a ‘Thank you, sir,’ from the waiter who has served him. One who doubted tills reeently did a little gum shoe act after this tip less customer last week to see if he was telling the truth. And, sure enough, when the luncheon was finished ami the exact amount of the check paid all the polite things happened. Then the amateur detective approached the waiter. “That man gave you no tip?” he said. “No, sir.” said the waiter. “And yet you said, ‘Thank you, sir,’ in a loud tone.”

“Yes, sir. Do you think I want other customers to know that some people don’t tip?”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
