Paying One's Bill There Becomes a
Duel In Politeness.
When traveling for the first time to
Portugal one is apt to become exas­
perated when be desires to settle up
with bls landlord at tbe hotel. When
tbe traveler asks how much bis bill is
tlie landlord bows graciously, smiles
suavely, rubs bls hands together aud
replies that tbe bill is as much as tbe
guest wishes to contribute.
This is simply the opening of a duel
of politeuess. for tbe hardened traveler
nt once tbnuls the landlord for bls con­
fidence In him aud again very courte­
ously asks for a detailed statemeut of
bls account. Still the bill is uot forth
coming. for tbe landlord declares that
he does not wish to Insult bls guest in
uny such manner. Finally tbe land­
lord does reckon up the charges on Ids
fingers. When be has finished lie asks
tlie traveler bow much tbe sum total
Is. if the traveler hasn't kept track of
It the landlord very laboriously goes
over tbe account again. If tbe guest
has footed up the bill the landlord ta
sure that It cannot lie so much aud in
slats ou a re-reckoning. Tbe result Is
tbe same, aud tbe laudlord Invariably
ne-<?» to bring two or three more fin­
gers into use for Items that bad been
accidentally omitted.
Needless to state, the traveler not
hardened to this process breathes a
deep sigh of relief when he "escapes.”
