A Cashiers Quandary.
Dear Margery Doon

Dear Margery Doom:
I have been a cashier In a store about
a year. There have been mistakes in
register nearly every day this week.
and the boss says I am responsible. I
have watched a certain person in the
store and know where the money goes.
Now, shall I go to that person and
accuse him. or shall I walt until the
boss discovers ii. If I tell him he viii
surely discharge me. as the guilty per-
son is a near relation OF his.
STEADY READER
Cannot you think of a way TO trap
the thief. so that It will be easy TO
prove his guilt? You have not ex-
planned lust how the money is taken.
therefore, 1 cannot make any definite
suggestions. He would probably lie. If
you should accuse him directly. II is
likely. too, that you employer would
TAXI his word before yours. since they
are related.

who does the work is careful to leave
out the birds eye. A passenger is
then blindfolded and furnished with a
piece of chalk. He is turned around
once, a few yards distant from the pic
ture, and is then told to walk to it
and make a circular mark where the
birds eye should be.
The passengers devious course in at

much amusement. Sometimes he starts
in entirely the wrong direction, when
the laugh of the spectators may, per-
haps, set him nearer right. But even
if he starts right, a lurch of the ship
may send him away off his course.
After he has made the circular mark
where he thinks it should be, the
bandage is removed from his eyes and
he is allowed to see by how many yards

The game may be played on any
large floor, and the boys and girls would
be sure to find 1t full of fun.

annoyances which the bracing air of
winter precludes. In order to retain
and preserve her health, remain fit for
work and appear well-groomed, she
must needs adhere to a daily hygienic
program.
There are two distinct types of the
business woman. One, is invariably
cool looking, neat in appearance and
attractive. The other is tired, worn
and indifferently gowned. 1t is an easy
matter to determine which woman has
followed a program advantageous to
her health and appearance. The ques-

relaxation are the prime factors.
The starting point of every day
should be a bath suited to individual
preference, a cleaning and refreshing
tonic which should not be omitted.

not the hardship in summer with day

RAIN-PROOF COATS


On showery days the question of
suitable raincoats always comes up.

as rubberized cloth coats, but they are
merely mackintoshes and are very
warm and "sweltery'' If the day hap

gabardine or some similar garment.
They are very light in weight but suf-

do shed the water and will probably
keep you perfectly dry unless you are

into a lake, and you will find them

A WORD ABOUT SCARFS

For a short time, notably during the
late winter and the early spring
months, there was a tremendous vogue
for all-over patterns in scarfs, but with
the arrival of summer the neat sim
plicity of the plain scarf is making its
appeal again and the trend of popular
taste is making itself felt in this
way Stripes are, of course holding
their own, but either plain scarfs or
those which have ~self-patterns are in
many instances the choice of the mo-
ment. that is to say, when the indi-
vidual's taste does not run to Rum
chundas and the ombre effects with
many of the shops are making
strong a bid for popular favor. OF
course, Rumchundas and the ombre eff
may always be regarded as a
staple article of neckwear, and there
are few men who do not possess at
least one or two of these cool and
comfortable scarfs in their collection
