CALLING A CAB.
["But how to get a cab without whistling—that is the problem."—Evening News.]
A very good plan is to purchase a camp-stool and sit down in the Strand until a taxicab breaks down. When you are sure that the driver is not looking step inside.
Taxi-drivers are human, and if caught young can be made so tame that they will take fares by the hand.
An excellent plan is to make a noise like a road under repair. But be careful that the driver does not make a noise like a cab going over a human body.
The essential thing is to interest the driver in your personal affairs. If you see a car rushing along stand in the road. When the cab pulls up, ask the driver if he would like to see your cigarette pictures.
