Smart Young Woman in Fashionable
Boarding Houses.

Boarding Houses.
When a woman deliberately decides upon play
ing rascally part, her rascalty infinitely trau-
scends male rascaty, as is evinced by the follow
ing conclusive instance. Miss Adelaide Weaver
was arrested yesterday, charged with stealing 500
worth Of jeWelry and dresses belonging to various
bosrdeFs in the fashionable boarding mouse of Mrs.
Perine No West Washington Place.
When arrested Miss Weaver was at the boarding
house kept by Mrs Willard, No. % Waverly
place where most of the missing articles belonging
TO Mrs. Perine's Boarders we're found in her
ievery and splendid female wearing apparel we're
also discovered in the same trunks, said jewelry
and wearing apparel being the undOubted prop
ertv of boarders sojOurniDg in other fashionable
boarding houses to which Miss Weaver IN times
heretofore has extended her kind patronage. The
accused was taken before Justice Kelly for e1ami-
nation.
The examination developed the fact that during
the past year she has boarded at about dozen
fashionable boarding houses in the vicinity Of Wav
erv place and that in each place she has taken with
her the unreceped bills of her landadies, and the
superfuous jewelry, laoes, embroidered handker
chiefs and richest dresses of her socate bosrders.
The proof so conclusive that the magistrate or
dered her full commitment for trial
Miss Weaver-ber real age is thirty, but she
would pass for twenty fve-has played her part +"
most skilfuly Dressed fsshiOnsbly, Of proposes
ing appearance and gracious manners, she had no
difficulty in working her way into debt with her
landladIes. A charming, pert talker, splendid
PLAYER on the piano, delightful singer, well read
in the current fashionable literature of the day. and
brimful of life fun and wit, she with equal facility
worked her way, first, into the confidence of the
gentlemen and lady bOsrders, and next and lastly,
into the plethoric porte mouiaes of the the former,
and the wardrObes and jewelry of the latter. Her
arrest has brought to termination her brilliant ca
