WAYS OF CARRYING MONEY.
OF all These WAYS the Average Won

OF all These Ways the Average Wom-
ans is Set Forth as the Worst.
A great many men have cranky ideas
about preparing their bills for ready
handling, One plan is to fold each bill
separately, keeping the denominations
apart in the various divisions of their
pocketbooks. This method facilitates
the search for the desired sum when
making a purchase. This is almost a
sure guard against passing out bill Of
the wrong denomination.
Then there are men who make neat
roll of all their bills The first Is rolled
by itself to about the size of lead pen
ell, the next is Tapped about it, and so
on the end. Then rubber band Is
placed about the entire lot. When 1t
is desired to use of the bills the rubber
is removed and the end of the first bill
caught between the thumb and forefng-
err of the right hand while the roll is
held between the thumb and forefinger
of the left hand Then the bill is quick
ly unwound, none of the others being
disturbed
A great many men never carry
pocketbook. One reason for this is that
a well-worn purse more easily slips from
the pocket than a roll of bills. Then,
again, the bulk of pocketbook is an
noying: it takes up too much room es-
pecially where the pantaloons are made
snug. When pocketbooks are not car
ried a favorite receptacle Is the watch
pocket, When this used the bills are
are made up into a little, hard bunch.
Their presence Is always felt against
the body. In a crowd there is no dan
ger of losing them, and when travelling
with any considerable sum this is a safe
depository.
Some men have fad Of carrying a
lot Of new bills in an envelope that is
kept in one of the inside pockets. Now
and then man Isl found who keeps
few bills in every pocket He goes on
the theory that If he is robbed of one
lot, sufficient amount will remain to
last him until he reaches home. He
starts out feeling that he Is going to be
robbed and makes provision to meet
every possible emergency. He usually
makes three folds of his bills and tucks
them away in the corners of his pockets
with extreme care He does not feel
if he finds upon making an in
ventory after arriving home that part
of his funds has disappeared, as he ex-
pected to be robbed.
T. Any number of men are found who
keep only a little working capital In
their trousers pockets. The bulk of
their funds being concealed in broad,
fiat wallets in the inside pocket of their
waistcoats. These bills are always Of
large denominations and folded once. |
when man brings forth his reserve
funds it will be found that all the bills
have smooth bright appearance. They
have been With him so long that they
are as fat as sheet from letter
press
Very few men in this country carry
coins in purses. In England purses a9
