It also leaves both the girl's hands free, so that she can operate an aluminum cash register | which is strapped to her waist. The cash register is a far cry from the unbusinesslike milk pails the early Titheradge Girls carried, and it makes for honesty among the girls, too. The Titheradge Girls have raised the standard of kissing, and by fur- nishing competition with wives and sweethearts have caused them to brush up on their home work. Hus- bands report a marked improvement in the quality of kissing in the home. Two years ago, Hester Titheradge turned over the direction of the now well-established business to com- petent assistants and started re- search work which has resulted in her discovery of the selective, or magnetic, mistletoe, of which the secret is the powerful new cathode ray. “It's like this,” Miss Titheradge told the writer. “Suppose you are in a room with Peggy Joyce and a girl who's an awful lemon. The lemon has the coign of vantage under the mistletoe and keeps giving you the eye. But you are not interested. You want Peggy to stand under the mistletoe, but she is not interested, either. Under the old-fashioned, non-cathodic mistletoe, there was nothing you could do with this. But with my new invention it’s different. You simply hold up the cathodic mistletoe with the cathode r. turned on Peggy and immediately she has to walk over and stand be- neath it, willy-nilly, while you kiss her. The beauty of it is, it works both we While it’s working on Peggy Joyce, it also works on the lemon. It can grow a full beard on a lemon in five minutes, causing her to leave the mistletoe instantly, in a great state of anxiety.” Miss Titheradge claims that girls can be summoned from great dis- tances by her new cathode mistletoe. She claims she got Davenport, Iowa, with it the other night. That isn’t all, She also claims that when her new cathode ray is turned on Christ- mas waits, it causes them to stop singing instantly, whether they want to or not.
