BELLIES AS SNUG
GLLRS.
Ladies of good families who have
wealth at their command make the
most desperate smngglers. and are
dealt with the hardest by the officers
AS they do not deserve as much lem
iency or sympathy as the poor
ona who has invested her little
all and would be destitute if strin-
gently dealt with, and TO whom the
good bargain. duty free, is really a
grea, temptation. The class OF goods
which Canadians buy in Detroit and
smuggte TO Canada is cotton cloth,
domestic and dress goods. The De-
troit purchaser steps on the ferry and
goes over TO Windor for gloves, la
ces, silk v~elvets and cashmeres, these
articles being considered much chea-
per and better, whether they are or
not. There ar hundreds of Detroit
ladies wearing velvet and silk dress
es who struggled them over folded
neatly about their angelic waists or
disposed Of in their bosoms, while
they passed the custom house officer,
the lynx eyed female detectives, the
landing waite RS and with serene
c%ountenance walked off with their
spoils. One lady boasts OF the
amount OF goods she can carry over
a, a single trip. The smuggling ma
MIA has taken such possession of her
that she has struggled for her friends
merely to keep up the excitement.
She has acquired such a knack Of ar
ranging the goods about her person
that a whole bolt OF cotton does not
give her the least u~neasiness, and
she can carry at one trip half a doz
en- silk dresses ; yet the lady herself
is by no means of insignificant bulk.
1t is a great mistake the idea that
thin women make the most success
full smugglers. The slightest add.
tional fullness betrays them. But a
plump divinity can add fifty pounds
to her lournure and no one will be
the wiser.
Among agents and families, the
great demand now is for the new

test, and is better made, with more
