of their number who honestly wish to
be of service to the nation. They, like

diplomatic posts at first class foreign
capitals, and are naively astonished
when their offers of service are not ac-
cepted with gratitude by the authors:

BRITISH BANK CLERKS.
sumptuary Laws Trying on Those
With Slim Purses

With Slim Purses.
Bank clerks generally look so sleek
and comfortable and are almost Inc
variably so well groomed that their
grievances rarely receive patient hear
ing.
One who was recently dismissed for
the terrible crime of smoking a pipe
in a city cafe during one of the hours
sacred to what is called by city courte-
sy lunch writes, giving a list of re-
strictions which he declares are alb
surd.
No clerk is allowed to smoke a pipe
in the streets during banking hours or
at lunch.
The average clerks salary is not so
very high, but nevertheless he must
wear a silk hat and cane to the office,
dressed as one with double the salary.
Wearing cap to business is not to be
thought of, as it is an objectionable
otfenSe in the eyes of the bank officials.
The salary of the average bank clerk
ranges from about SO shillings a week,
but in many banks the salary is much
lower and the chances of promotion
very small.
A clerks money is greatly diminished
by his having to subscribe to numerous
funds, such as sports" fund, to keep
the cricket or football grounds in order,
which he himself is never able to see.
Saturday is no holiday for him. as he
does not leave the office on those days
until about 4 or O'clock.
1t must not be supposed that the
days work of a bank clerk ends with
the closing of the bank to customers.
