418 business is to look after the safety and comfort of passengers. An electric bell in the wall of each berth will be answered at any moment, day or night. When your berth is made up you have to sit in it, behind the curtains to undress, but you should take off only your outer garments and put on bed slippers and a dark silk or wool kimono over the underwear. In those you can go to the dressing-room, with toilet articles in a hand bag. Learn to make your toilet as quickly as possible so as not to keep others waiting.

If a mistake has been made and friends fail to meet the train, there is always a telephone in the station to call people up. In small places the station agent is there to advise travelers. In large cities, a policeman is always on duty, and there is usually a matron who will take a girl without escort to her friends or to a safe lodging. Any good hotel will, on call, send a cab at any hour, and with a responsible driver, to bring a guest. A woman who arrives in a strange city after nightfall, and who has not enough money to go to a good hotel, who does not know where to go and has no safe escort, should remain in the station waiting-room until morning.

MANNERS IN HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS
}}

A lady who is stopping at a hotel alone need only to be quiet in dress and manners, self-possessed and have money to pay her bills. She shoudl write her name and home address in the register, give any large sum of money and her small valuables to the clerk to be put into the hotel safe, lock her trunk on leaving her room; lock the door and leave the room-key at the desk on going out. She should not run up and down the stairs, hum tunes in the halls, stare out of windows, stroll in the lobby, use the elevator twenty times a day, play on the piano in the parlor or sing. A bell-boy will take her shoes down to be polished, or call a cab; a waiter will get a newspaper; a chambermaid will hook a gown at the back. For extra personal services a small tip should be given. If a hotel servant is inattentive or impertinent, do not reprove him, but report the matter at the desk.

In the dining room ask the head-waiter for a quiet table at the side or in a corner. He will remember your face and give you the same table next time. Decide quickly what you want to eat.
