Show Women Careless With Watches. (Philadelphia Record.) "Women don't deserve to own watches." said a Philadelphia jeweler. "They don't know how to take care of them. They seldom, remember to wind them, and the consequence is the watches are always coming back for repairs. A woman bought one frpm us recently, and I gave her strict orders to wind it every twenty-four hours, and always at the same hour, as nearly as possible. Two days later she came back with it; said it had stopped, and she couldn't make It go. Well, I found it had run down and hadn't been wound up again. I told her this, but she insisted that she had wound it. Two or three days later she came-back came-back with the same, complaint, and again I tried to impress her with the necessity of winding it. Again she insisted that she bad done so and went away rather miffed. The third time she came in I asked her in desperation to show me how she had wound it.-i Then I made a peculiar discovery. The woman was left-handed and in attempting to wind the watch she had wound it the wrong way, with absolutely ab-solutely no effect upon the spring. I've been in the business a good many years, but it's the first time I ever had an experience ex-perience like that." |
