Many walters have hands that are
more callous chan a blackSmith's or
ironworkrrs The callousuess comes
from carrying hot plates, coneepots
and the like. The heat seems to fry
their skin and to make dead surface
to keep them from being burned by
things that man with ordinary hands
could not stand. 1t may have puzzled
people who so to some restaurants to
notice how the walters hold things in
their hands for some time which are
too hot for the hands of the people at
the tables even to pass to one another.
This is the explanation: That the wait
er's hands become callous and hard,
SO that the tough skin ut the surface
