the way in which people will insist that
you are trying to work some kind of
game on them when they can't find the
ticket they have just bought, or when
their change seems to be short, or any
one OF the thousand things which hap
pen to man in a hurry. The public
seems to regard us not as human be-
ings. but as a sort of machine, to take
IN money and throw out pasteboards
It's very difficult to make change, keep
your temper, answer a dozen questions
at once, tell people II they should go

over two or three umbrellas on the slab
and place change in hands outstretched
for 1t whose owners can't reach far
enough to grasp 1t themselves. It's a
wonder that more mistakes are not
