HER HAIR FULL OF WEALTH.
Beautiful Young Lady Who Stole Gold

(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.


"A young lady employed by a gold and
silversmith in New York has only her
good looks to thank for the fact that
she was allowed TO resign without being
prosecuted for theft" remarked Henry
s. Fleetwood. OF Brooklyn. she has an
extraordinary fine head of hair. which
she allows to hang loosely over her Shout
ders and nearly down TO her waist.
From time to time ii was noticed that
the gold used in the room in which she
worked did not go as far as IL ought in
making jewelry and gem settings. and
that even allowing for the filings. which
are most carefully preserved. there was
Il distinct leakage
steps were taken 70 subject the en-
ployees 10 a more rigid search, but no
discovery was made until the young
lady with the long hair quarreled with
her roommate over "A love affair. and in
fit of jealousy her rival gave away
the most interesting story. The young
lady had kept her hair we'll creased. and
then while at work would frequently pass
her fingers through IL casually, as though
it were mere matter Of habit.

good deal OF gold dust in her hair and

locks with the smallest Of tooth combs,

A practical and eminently successful

is no reason why similar organizations
should not flourish in all large American
towns.
the gardening association contracts for
the care of Conservatives. window boxes,
balconies. and gardens by the year or
season or month. Plants are also loaned
out on hire.
All orders are entirely executed by
women, a man being employed for dig

ing high. outside climbers. and the like
The association also undertakes the care
of graves in the cemeteries Of London
1t supplies whatever plants may be re-
quired. When necessary, ii replants the
graves twice a year. An excellent poin.
In connection with this particular branch
of the work Is that the prices are made
as reasonable as possible in order to bring
| the benefit within the reach of persons In
all circumstances.
Another department Of the work consists
In taking temporary care of plants be-
longing TO persons who are leaving town.
For this purpose the association uses its
own Conservatives.
Cut flowers are also supplied to families
Every variety OF floral decoration. bou-

obstinate hold that certain of their house
hold customs keep on women.
Take. for instance. the universal frenzy
OF spring cleaning which RACES annually
through the month of May.
When Clarissa's grandmother set up hef
modest menage, the spring cleaning was
a work of absolute necessity.
Tho bitter cold, without let-up. OF a
New England winter, piercing through
freezing chambers and shiVerlhg nan
WAYS. made it impossible TO secure inc
nroper airing and cleansing of rooms
even when all the stress OF the New Ems
land conscience urged on the capable
hands Nature was too much for grace
when water had TO be drawn by bucket
and windlass from an outdoor well ana
heated over fireplace by the Kettle
full Even when the small, unhandy
kitchen stove came into use, it was stu
a slow, back breaking task to drag the
contents of the little boiler here anu
there as hot water was needed. Occa-
sional swecpings of the frosty chambers
comprised the care that could be be
slowed for several months of The year.
There was good reason for a yearly gen
cral upheaval in the house; good by
glenic reason for a new deluge, wi;a its
survival OF the iittiest. when the balmy
days OF May came TO unclasp the Icy
rigor.
Clarissa's foremothers did as they must
and ought.
But how about Clarissa herself. who
stin believes this cyclonc annua, dis
turDance necessary to clear and sweeten
the atmosphere of her home? Whether
