 Customer Pays
 Tho law specifically states that the tax is collectabie from the GUS. toner who pays for the refresh- ment, service, or merchandise. With the numerous Waterburians plans ning to celebrate the holiday occas- ion this vening, the tax should run into ct least four figures.
 An excerpt from tho law itself say& Any hotel, restaurant, or other public place which provides entertainment Of any description in connection with the service of food texcept instrumental music only, unaccompanied by any other form of entertainment is subject to the provisions Of the cabaret tax section of the law. Where dancing for the patrons is provided, 1t is considered entertainment within the meaning Of the law, regardless of the kind Of music furnished for such dancing"
 WWtCH AVuE DtUvt
 "Tho tax Is one and one-half cents for each ten cents or fraction there- of of 20 per cent Of tho total amount paid for refreshment, service or merchandise. An error is sometimes made by computing the tax at one and one-half per cent Of 20 per cent of the check, which Is incorrect. For example, # . check for si0.3S is issued to Q cuStomer, Q tax Of 32 cents should Do added, computed as follows: 20 DOT cent of tho check is e2.07; there being twenty tens and . fraction of ten in S2.07, tax is one and one.half cents for every ten cents or fraction of 10 cents k 32 cents. On checks of 92.60 or less thoro is no tax due, but where the check !s over e2.b0 there is no deduc. ton allowed of t2.B0 before compute ing the tax"

please do, Mrs. Hilliard," Mona re-
quested. I'D like to know every
thing there is to know before I take
over the responsibility! 1.
We'll, my dear, Of course, you
must realize that a husband is def-
nitely different from sweetheart
! You must expect to find him
grumpy and uncommunicative at the
| hreakfast table, like Bob, and then
| he never puts his clothes away
or leaves the bath room in a tidy
! condition. Sometimes he is very
late for dinner, and he always for
! gets to phone me about 1t. You
have no idea what that means
yetw
II believe" Mona said, defensively
that I was already prepared to
make allowances for slight adjust
ments, Mrs Hilliard."
"OF COURSE, you probably know
that Bob has one night a week
for his lodge meeting and another
for his bowling club And then,
you'll find that he is very poor
bridge player, so if you have COM
| pany or visit friends, that rather
| complicates things" Nona's eyes rest
ed speculatively upon Bob, and he
moved restlessly.
Bob never mentioned those
things, but I suppose that I might
put up with them until I had
| chance to work out something, a
| plan which would suit us both" In
Nona's words Bob sensed the warn
ing of impending catastrophe as
| regarded his free evenings For the
first time he saw how far he and
his wife had drifted apart. She no
| longer cared to keep him home.
But would he be happy if Mona
took it into her head to make him
change his comfortable ways?
And, then, you probably know
that Bob has positive air for phil
andering which I never could cor
rect" his wife continued. Even now
there's brazen thing trying to at
tract his attention from that table
over there! She is rather pretty
Bob" Mona glanced at the trim,
faShionably dressed young woman
who was beckoning to Bob.
II THINK I've heard enough, Mrs.
Hilliard. I had no idea what I
was getting into! Shall We go?" Bob
crumpled his napkin and watched
the two women, his wife and Mona
Alardyce, walk out of the dining
room, arm in arm. Then he crossed
over to the young woman's table and
sat down. There was an admiring look
in his eye.
Thanks for the lift" he said,
gratefully. I've been blind. 1t
was you I needed and wanted all
the time "a real friend in need.
Do you suppose we could find
an answer to this problem, Betty?"
His hand met hers across the ia Bile,
and he watched her smile and nod.
Betty had known the answer for
years.
