Mabel H.. ON THE CHARITY
Herbert W I1G1 BAZAAR

II asst week I CHANGED to go to one
of the many "Bazaars" held for
- charity at this season Of the year.
The rooms were crowded with a well
dressed, chattering throng.
At every turn pretty girls stopped
you to sell you flower or a chance"
on q chocolate cake. or a lace cap, or
a tea set or one of the countless other
things-and all for charity!
Then there was a long line of
booths of everything from fancy work
to groceries-and more pretty women
behind the booths proclaiming the ex-
cellency and eheapness of their wares.
And you walked through and bought
many things you didn't want, and GER
tainly didn't need, consoling yourself
with the thought that they would do
for cousin Ellen or aunt Minnie.
The fact that cousin Ellen or aunt
Minnie wouldn't want or need them
any more than you would is not dis
anything they want or need at Christ
mas.
Reduced Prices.
When you have finally made your
way down the. line of booths and
bought more than you feel you can af
ford, you stroll back leisurely, your
arms filled with packages as proof of
your duty discharged and as bulwark
against any further appeals to buy.
And then comes the disconcerting
knowledge that the pincushions for
which you paid so cents are now SELL
ing for 50, and the calendars you
bought at s5 are now being offered at
a quarterl
Why. Of course" a stout and much
overdressed lady in a velvet gown and

If WE'RE TO suggest the two most
desirable qualities for woman to
possess they would bs< sincerity
and tact
Sincerity in great and small matters
and tact in everything
Sincerity does not mean brutality,
nor does tact mean deception.
Sincerity means absolute honesty,
and tact means the sugar coat which
renders that honestlyi paIatable to ones
friends
Yet white blaciFbirds are not so rare
as sincere humaH being.

HERE is no lodging of the law
which is more certain to result
in the discomfort Of the offender
than counterfeiting. In the good old
days when the art of making money
was not as highly developed as now,
many counterfeiter piled his trade
and made a good living But today the
man who thinks he can initiate coins
or bills and escape justice, will soon
see his mistake. The secret service of
the treasury department. is so we'll or
ganized that it rarely fails TO trace
even the most skillful offender
The real dectectors of counterfeits
are found in the banks and counting
houses Of the United States The av-
erage bank teller is so familiar with
all kinds of money that a counterfeit
is seldom in circulation many weeks
before it is detected and forwarded to
the treasury department
Coins Easfez to Counterfeit.
Gems are more often counterfeited
than paper money. The reasons for
cape detection. In silver, it is the
dollars and half dollars which are most
frequently counterfeited. The profit in
such work is practically equal to the
difference between the actual value of
the silver and the face value of the
coin. In some cases the coins are made
from molds- A dollar. for instance, is
placed in plaster OF paris cast and
The molds made from this Melted
silver is poured into the mold and the
new coins turned out The objection to
counterfeit coins produced by this pro-
cess is that their lines are not as sharp
~ defined as If they had been made
by the die process. Other counterfeit
ers produce dies and turn out reasona-
bly, accurate coins. But there is al
ways a difference in the feel of the
coin in the hand of the experienced
money changer.
Gold Coins Dffficaif.
A counterfeit silver coin. often weighs
more than good one. but it would be
a profitless job to counterfeit gold
coins on that basis Gold coins are
supposed to be literally worth their
weight in gold. and unless the counter
fefter is able to hide his work he can
make no profit out of the business.
Sometimes he accompanies II by what
is known as Sweating" the coins. He
treats them to process which takes
a small portion of the metal from them
without interfering with the general
appearance But more --en he bores
a hole from rim to rim, collects the
Dorings and fills ND the hole with a
composition as -ressrs. ffalssS- gold ,-,au.e
weight as, possible. A little gold at
each edge Of the coin makes the job
complete. The milling is restored and
he coin appears the same as ever. ex-
eept that the ring of it is not genuine
n other cases. especially in that of
he larger coins like the eagle and the
ioubie eagle, the two faces Of the coin
ire sawed asunder from the middle
'art and a disc of composition metal of
he same density as god is substituted
md the whole thing soldered together

Effectively conceals the counterfeit.
Worth More Than Genuine.
There are cases on record where
counterfeit coins are worth more than
he coin which they initiate. In for

be engraved exactly alike. Not only Is
the engraving an insuperable obstacle
TO the counterfeiter. but the paper also

Photo-mechanical processes are now
used by the counterfeiter in making

fefter sawed the real coin into three

counterfeit silver dollar came into the

their silver from a Mexican mine. and
