May Be Mitigated.

Fair Caller —Doctor, it’s an embarrassing thing to ask, but I want to know if there is any cure for what is known to your profession as kleptomania. Physician—l know of no permanent cure, madam, but it can be restrained by constant watchfulness. For example, I saw you carelessly place your band over my watch as it lay on the table just now and slyly slip it into your muff. Will you kindly replace it? Thank you. There is no charge for my opinion. Good day, madam.
