Margaret Boyle Tells a Pathetic
Story When Arrested.

Margaret Boyle, of $3.50 West Forty
fourth street. was a prisoner in the JEFF
ferson Market Court this morning.
Bella Goldman. an employee of Enrich
Brothers. was preparing to leave the
store at 1880 o'clock last night. There
were a few customers scattered through
the place. and as Miss Goldman turned
her back she felt a tug at a satchel
hanging at her side.
She saw a woman walking hurriedly to
the elevator. and looking down. saw that
her pocketbook, containing S. and odd
cents, was missing. She followed the
woman and saw her take the money out
Of the pocketbook.
Miss Goldman called the store detec-
tives. and they. in turn. sent for Detec-

Bessie Talks Business.

TO Inc Editor;
l have been very much interested Of late by
reading the controversy between different GENTLE
men on the subject OF getting married on small
salaries. Mr.. Carlos must think the attraction
very great indeed to induce a young lady to leave
a position at a salary Of SIC per week to splice UP
with n man who earns So per week. For my part,
l think | should prefer to have sl2 all by myself
rather than one-third OF that amount. or half Of
Mr.. Carios's immense cummings, viz. 81 per week.
Does The Evening World not think that a young
'ady who is capable OF making sl2 per week can
AFFORD to stand on rather independent ground az
regards young mem ! sincerely hope Mr.. Carlos
VIII meet with success in securing for himself a
suitable and economical life partner. and should
be pleased to hear further from his unfortunate
victim should she escape starvation.
