feminine customers suffer losses oftenest
II there Is anything a woman is fastidious
about It is her hat. and where there are
many TO be tried on this IS an absorbing
task. A woman must take both hands TO

pocketbook is forgotten.

telling her troubles he has an assistant

money and valuables by women Is the
habit of letting a bag dangle from the
wrist suspended by the handle. A slight
jar may spring the lock. and there IS the
bag wide open for any INSCRIPTIONS per
