Between
Ourselves

Is character expressed by a
hand-shake?
Some authorities say it is and
some ridicule the idea, but to your
humble scribe, who, by the way.
does not profess authority on
either side of the question, a
hearty hand-shale means much.
The man who grasps your hand
and squeezes it until it hurts,
pumping your arm up and down
the while, is apt to be a pretty
good, straight from the shoulder
chap, who once a friend is al
ways a friend. He will be apt to
tell you what he thinks of you
TO YOUR FACE.
Now take the chap who extends
TO you a pudgy hand like the
clammy ripper Of a fish and never
attempts to shake" He is the
man who is apt to be insincere.
He is the lad who might perhaps
say things about you when your
back is turned.
Mind you. all men with strong,
hearty hand grasps are not good,
true friends, and all men with
weak fish-like "shakes" are not
insincere but it SOMETIMES
happens they are-very often, in
fact.
Cultivate good grip"

of Fur Storage
A Different Kind"

Hundreds of women, while ac-
knowledging the perils of cedar
chest storage, take a chance,
merely for the convenience of
being able to withdraw their
wraps when needed for a short
trip. This is no longer necessary.
We will store your furs with the
understanding that you may
withdraw them ANY time on
short notice. A telephone call
will bring them to your door i'm
mediately, and telephone call
will bring a delivery wagon to
your home to remove and re-
place your fur garments in stor-
age when you are through with
them. This will entail much ad-
ditional labor on our part, such
as cleaning and beating the
coats, but we make absolutely
no extra charge. This "new
service" is gratis.
FurS altered and repaired
at very moderate figures.
