The.Jeweler wrote as he was. dlroct- ed, and in a quarter of an hoif the Lootman . came..back with . the -money, | and then he, with "his master, left wlt.h the. jewelry. When the jeweler went home to dinner his wife asked him the reason he had sent for three hundred pounds. Then the swindle was discovered.

Temper, :Foe of Col Recent tests prove that a man’s tem- per has more to. do with ‘his collar wearing out than does the muchabused laundry. In the tests new collars en- dured around forty tripe through' the laundry process- before cracks began to render them unptesentable. On the other hand, collars that were worn after each washing were good for only about twenty trips through - the laundry.: It is easy. to crack a collar in but: toning. it; damage can be done when adjusting’ the necktie, especially wheg this adjustment is done violently ot -impatiently.
