"most do conereofate," and if he did he cannot [jo and 

 question all and sundry as to whether or not they are "out 

 of livery" and wish to don the buttons. But he can call 

 at the Free Registry and state what he requires ; and 

 a groom desiring a re-engagement also calls, and the 

 keeper of the Register offices finds by investigation that 

 the groom is just the individual required, and at once 

 takes the necessary steps for securing for him the vacant 

 situation. Here, then, both these parties have been 

 spared loss of time,' loss of money, and a vast amount of 

 anxiety, which they would have had but for the Free 

 Registry system, for without it they might never have 

 met, and if they had there might have been delays and 

 questionings that would have resulted in each forming of 

 the other an unfavourable impression, which, even had an 

 engagement taken place, would have marred their mutual 

 respect for one another. But the keeper of the Registry, 

 by procuring all the necessary information, saves both 

 parties the trouble and worry of character hunting and 

 certificate finding. He knows his men and the situations 

 they are qualified to fill, — for the applicants know it will 

 answer their purpose best to be explicit, and therefore 

 communicate freely to him all that it is requisite for him 

 to know, in order to enable him to form a correct estimate 

 of the applicant's talents and abilities ; and hence he has 

 no difficulty in putting the right man in the right place.
