Tho dishonesty of n waiter at an English
banquet recently brought out the fact that
these Indispensable functionares are nc
customed at most OF the London and pro-
vincial restaurants to carry the knives,
forks and spoons that guests may require
In their pockets This fact was disclosed
when waiter who was arrested with such
articles on his person claimed that such n
method of carrying them about was Gus
tomary in most restaurants. That was nd
mitted, but this particular waiter had q
tumblcr in his pocket and that was de-
clared to be Unprecedented even In the ex-
igencies OF walters existence. 1t may
we'll be imagined what tho result would be
If 1t became known that the walters in our
restaurants and hotels supplied the guests
with forks flshed out of their pockets.
Such practice would not be tolerated by
the proprietor, and the patrons who learn.
cd Of 1t would soon abandon the establish
ment which permitted such an unceremoni.

inferior to those in New York. That Is
never disputed. But, apnrt from the fact
that our food and wines are better, there is
an immense superiority in everything that
relates to eating. The res YestH are much

Where the HOards Of Our Grsndmothers
Used to BE Kept.

The stocking bank Of our grandmothers
Is not yet obsolete In the country districts,
and the daily papers give frequent ac-
counts of its insecurity. Safes are not
burglar proof either, ard the occasional
bank robbcrics and the failures, too, keep
alive the fondness OF women for searching
for queer hiding places for their savings.
Some Of tho old time "banks' showed
considerable ingenuity in their construc-
ton or covering
An old lady living in New Hampshire
town had set of large stationary drawers
topped by cupboards built into one of her
huge closets. The lower drawer, instead of
resting directly on the floor, ran on grooves
perhaps two inches above it, She would
pull out this lower drawer, place her
Jewel cases In the space left below, and
then push In the drawer, which she kept
filled with linen.
Equally shrewd was an Ohio woman,
who, whenever she went out, put her
money and jewelty in the coal scuttle, cov-
ering them up carefully with several layers
of coal. This might have proved n rather
risky experiment In the winter months,
when the fire had to be fed, but their own

looking there ~,
A favorite hiding place for money, espe-
cially for bills Of large denominations, has
always been the big family Bible and the
unabridged dictionary. This is still COM
mon In rural PLACES. So is the practice of
sticking money snugly away under cor
ner of carpet, particularly under some
large piece of furniture. This is u method
that has much to commend it.
The caddies and sugar bowls make ex-
cellent temporary safes Another hiding
place Is the old fashioned country clock,
which is almost historic as spot for
tucking away little bundles OF valuables
