Simple, Thorough Way To File Canceled Checks DEAR POLLY When my bank statement has been reconciled, I put the canceled checks back in the checkbook according to the numbers on flic stubs and attach them to the stubs with clear plastic tape.

This way the scarf holder can be transferred from coat to coat without removing any stitching at all. If making for a gift, add this verse: "If a scarf, dear, you must tote, Just pin me inside your coal, Slip your scarf through the ring, Am I not the cleverest thing?" LOTTIE.
