4 Clever Diamond Ihfef

A carriage drew up in front of iewelry
store in Vienna, lady dressed in black
alighted and asked to be shown an assort-
ment of diamond rings, from which she Sc.
lected one worth seventy-fiye tiorins. An
hour later a stylish looking gentleman
called at the same shop and asked to SEQ
the proprietor, whom he addressed as fol-
lows: @s. M
Sir, my name is Baron Won S., and

ago yong lady dressed in mourning
purchased a diamond ring from you, but
at the same time she purloined another

days afterWarl the lady in black called
again, and asked to sec Il number of dia-
mond rings, but did not make any pur-
chase this time. The jeweler kept sharp
watch on his fair customer, but did not
perceiveunything unusual. However, when
she had gone il diamond cross Of very great
value was found to be missing. The jeweler
waited in vain for the baron to make his
appearance and return the stolen property.

Bretclles of lace or of embroidery are
worn on the bodiccs of dressy gowns; they
are sloped quite narrow at the waist, and
broader ut the shoulders to droop over full

present style.
Diamond epaulets arc comparatively
new. These take the form of bows and
