Just one moment while I get you a
book.
And by the way, get me one Of the
pink checkbooks, won't you?
We have only ordinary cheekbooks
madam.
why-my friend, Mrs. Gotrox, has
pink checks. that new shade of wis
ltaria; they are too lovely for anything
She uses them for bridge parties.

longings. We provide nothing like that

How perfectly stupid? That's one OF
the reasons / wished the account.
Will you be good enough to let me
have the cash?

The money to open the account
Why. the very idea. Ha-ha-ha
If 1 had any money 1 wouldn't have te

You can't open a bank account with
out money
/ beg your pardon When I open ar
/
charged That's the way 1 wish to dc
| here.
You don't understand, my dear lady

husband for some money this morning
He said he was overdrawn at the bank
| Ha-ha! He did. did he?

All. yes! He probably means to Civ,
you some money.
/ Not all-there is no necessity TO
that He has money here in this yer!
bank. So there.
Quite so. Then you must get a checl
from him.
What for?
| To deposit.
/ What's thAts
/ You must put money in the bank il
your name II you wish to have an &C
count with us.

Your taxicab driver is getting impa
tient, madam?
Oh, that dreadful cab! Then let m
have ten dollars, please.
1 can't unless you have a checl
