Many weird theories have
been advanced Ringing upon
the FEAR or HONESTY of
the old-time bakers dozen.
One man claims that bread
loses weight in firing, and that
in order not to cheat their pa
irons certain bakermen of the
old school tossed in an extra
loaf.
The expression bakers doz-
EN-" found its meaning about
two centuries ago in Brittany,
where the laws against short
weight and short measure were
so extremely severe that, in
order not to feel the strong
arm of justice, the bakers DE-
LIBERATELY threw in an ex-
ira loaf or bun or roll. as the
case might be- They did this
not because of their innate
honesty, but to SAVE THEIR
PRECIOUS SKINSi Whether
or not the twentieth century
bakermen exper nee the
qualms of their Breton breth-
rem we are not prepared to say.
OF course, we do not follow

That is the most difficult part of
all, Miss LaWton. You must obtain
positions for them. These three men
who stand in loco PARENTS toward you,
as you say, and your spiritual adviser,
DR.. Franklin, who so obviously wishes
to ingratiate himself with them, would
none of them refuse request of this
sort from you at this stage of the
game, particularly if they are really
engaged in conspiracy against you.
Go to these four men-Mr. Mallowe
first-and tell them that because of
the sudden, complete loss of your for
tune, your club must be disorganized,
and beg them each to give one of your
girls, special protegees of yours,
position. Send your filing clerk to Mr..
Mallowe, your most expert stenograph-
er to Mr.. Rockamore, your switchboard
operator to Mr.. Carlis, and your gov
erness into the household of your min
lister. l have learned that he has three
small children, and his wife applied
only yesterday at an agency for
nursery governess. The last propo-
sition may be the most difficult for
you to handle, but think if you man
age to convey to the Reverend Dr.
! Franklin the fact that your three self
appointed guardians have each taken
one of your girls into their employ, in
order to help them, and that his fol
