He has label-covered suitcases. He never gets up fore breakfast when ap- proaching foreign shores. He remains unruffled when customs inspectors pore over his belongings and: h rotects himself with never carries "careless cash", He travelers cheques. Another thing he never does 8 overtip. How much should a traveler tip? And when? While the principles are the same from Times Square to Tim- buctoo, the amounts may differ -- and who gets tipped varies widely. For example, in France you'll be expected to tip the theatre usher or the subway station wash- room attendant -- people you'd seldom think of tipping in the U.S. In certain big-city restaurants Ky are expected to tip not only he waiter but the head waiter, and ferhate the maitre d'. Folks who travel abroad discover that an astonishing number of persons are accustomed to being tipped.

On the other hand, tips are properly on the low side in such places as Latin-Amer- ica and most of Asia, where nearer 10 per cent is acceptable. ® The experienced traveler always earries plenty of small change ) 3) oJ BX » in the local currency, This doesn' mean you have to carry a lot o cash -- and be concerned about losing it. You can take all except a small amount of your funds in American Express travelers cheques. These 'may be changed into local currency as needed, any- where in the world. You can buy them at your local bank before and, when pbioad, does his saan ou leave home, and if any get ost, American Express will make a prompt refund. While you are Ardy from home, it's generally a good idea to change one of your travelers cheques into small bills and coin-of-the-réalm when you start your day, and then you are ready for anything. Most European and Latin American hotels add a "service charge' to their bills for distribi- tion to the entire staff, Many tFav- elers leave a little extra, anyway, especially if they may go back, "a -- F---- | Es | AE CIT FS : 2% the Red River Colony from 1815 to 1816, before assuming governorship of the colony.
