Show WAYS OF CARKYIXG 3 1 OX FY. "It is interesting to note," says an observant New Yorker, "the various methods in which men of different nationalities na-tionalities carry their worldly wealth. "The Englishman carries gold, silver sil-ver and coppers all loose in his trousT ers pocket, pulls out a handful of the mixture in an opulent way and selects the coin he needs. "The American carries his 'wad' or 'roll' in pretty much the same way, the average man here looking with contempt upon the pocket book as indicative in-dicative of a 'tight' disposition. "The Frenchman makes use of a leather purse with no distinguishing i characteristics. The German uses j one gayly embroidered in silks by ilie fair hands of some Matchen. "The half-civilized capitalists from some torrid South American city carries car-ries his dollars in a belt with cunningly cunning-ly devised pockets to baffle the gentlemen gentle-men with light fingers. Some of these belts are quite expensive. . "The Italian of the poorer classes ties up his little fortune in a gayly-colored gayly-colored handkerchief secured with many knots, which he secrets in some my sterious manner about his clothes. "A similar course has charms for the Spaniard, while the lower class Jiussian exhibits a preference fo-his boots or the lining of his clothes as a hiding place for his savings." |
