Waiting on the passengers st table, the care of the tables, the care of the silverware and a certain amount ot dishwashing and pantry work make up tbe steward's dining room duties. The other half Is work in the state rooms, making the beds, straightening up the rooms and doing tbe general work ot a chambermaid, as well as giv lng a certain amount of attendance to the occupants of tbe rooms. The pay Is very poor, and the princl pal dependence of the steward Is on tho tips be receives.
