WAYS OF CARRYING MONEY.
All These the Average Woman's Is
Set Forth as the Worst.


A great many mon have cranky
leas about preparing their bills for
sady handling. One plan is to fold
I ach bill separately, keeping the de-
! ominations apart in the various divi-
4 ions of their poeketbooks This
lethod facilitates the search for the
! esired sum when making purchase.
his is almost a sure guard against
! assing out bill Of the wrong denom-
nation.
Then there are men who make
eat roll of all their bills. The first is
t.olled by itself to about the size Of
1 pad pencil, the next is Tapped about
/ I and so on to 'he end. Then a rub
er band is placed about the entire
, ot. When it is desired to use one Of
/, he bills the rubber is removed and
lhe end of the first bill caught be-
,ween the thumb and forefnger of the
light hand while the roll is held be-
tween the thumb and forefinger of the
eft hand. Then the bill is quickly I'M
Wound, none of the others being dis
.urbed.
A great many men never carry a
bocketbook. One reason for this is

Hips from the pocket than a roll of
bills. Then, again, the bulk of a poe
textbook is annoying; it takes up too
much room, especially where the pant
blooms are made snug. When pocket
BOOKS are not carried a favorite re-
septacle is the watch pocket. When
his is used the bills are made up into
little hard bunch. Their presence
S always felt against the body. In a
crowd there is no danger of losing
hem, and when travelling with any
considerable sum this is a safe de.
1ository.
Some men have q fad OF carrying a
ot of new bills in an envelope, which
IS kept in an inside pocket. Now and
hen a man is found who keeps a few
bills in every pocket. He goes ON the
theory that if he is robbed of one lot.
/ sufficient amount remains to last
aim until he reaches home. He starts
put feeling that he is going to be
robbed, and makes provisions to meet
any 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 surprised If he finds, upon
making an inventory after he reaches
home, that part of his funds has dis
appeared, as he expected to be robbed
Any number of men are bound t
keep only little working capital ir
their trousers pockets, the bulk o.
their fund being concealed in broad
fat wallets in the inside pocket O.
their waistcoats. These bills are al
ways of large denominations and fold
ed once. When man brings forth hi!
reserved funds 1t will be found thai
all the bills have a smooth. bright ap
pearance. They have been with hin
so long that they are as fiat as shee
from a letter press.
Very few men in this country carry
coins in purses. In England purses
are common. The material is general
ly pigskin, but undressed kid is als(
used extensively. The former have
two compartments, one for small gol(
coins and the other for silver. 1t il
sometimes amusing to watch a maj
with little undressed kid bag pay hi
fare on the street cars. especially
he is wearing thick, dogskin gloves
Only conductors With great patienc,
can watch the proceeding with com
placency. A woman can pick out fiv,
pennies beneath roll of bills in con
siderably less time than it takes thu
man with the kid purse to bring fortl
a nickel. One reason that the kit
purse is not popular is because it feel
like the half of a small dumb-bell il
the pocket when fairly well filed Il
London it is the proper thing to carr!
a pigskin, owing to the large circula
ton of sovereigns It is essential t.
keep the gold and silver separate il
order to avoid mistakes.-Boston Her
