The “Dutch Treat. ”
The “Dtftch treat” has come in
to fashion again, and a very good
thing it is for the man and the
woman of limited means: *
It is an old-faahioned idea and
one especially prevalent in this
section of the South, that it is the
proper thing—indeed the only
permissible thing—for one man
to bear the entire burden of ex
pense when a number of people
happen to join each other at a
place of amusement or tike an
excursion together, when no one
person stands in» the position of
host or hostess, and where the
one first called upon for ticket or
fare feels that it behooves him to
pay for all.
At the summer resorts, where all
alike were guests of a public hos-
telne, this first became a burden
and then persons of sense began
to reason the matter out with the
result' that, during the past sum
mer it became quite a fad for all
resorters to decline to place them
selves under obligation to their
aquaintances, and to adopt as the
only alternative the selt-conduct-
ing system known as ‘Dutch treat.*
A well known Augusta man
meeting a party of our giirls in
New r York was quite surprised
when he discovered that -his es
cort to" various places of amuse?*,
menfc was always gladly ’accepted
but only on the condition that
each girl be permitted to pay her
expenses for the day or evening.
He soon. recognized, however, the
-bmmon sense - underlying the
plan, and now that it is ■ being
adopted here he is explaining how
all around satisfactory it is.
The “Dutch treat” system does
not foster stinginess or selfishness,
but it does help to preser ve self
independence, anc
