A great many men have cranlsy ideas »Lout preparing their bill» for ready handling. One plan Is to fold each 1)111 separately, keeping the denominations apart In the various divisions of their poeketbooks. This method facilitates thg, search for the desired sum wbeu making a purchase. This Is almost a sure guard against passing out a bill of the wrong denomination. Then there are men who make a neat roll of all their hills. The first Is rolled by Itself to about the size of a lead pencil, the next Is lapped about It. anil so on to the end. Then a rub her band Is placed about the entire lot. When It Is desired to use one of the bills, the rubtier Is removed and the end of the first bill caught be­ tween the thumb and forefinger of the right hand while the roll Is held be tween the thumb and forefinger of the left band. Then the bill Is quickly un- | wound, none of the others being dis­ turbed. A great many men never carry a pocketbook.
