The women OF Chicago have some queer
ideas about hiding diamonds. The Chi
cago Tribune reports the following dis
cussion as having taken place among a
number Of them who met at a 1Rception.
Burglars got into Emmeline's house
last night while she and her husband were
at a reception" said the woman with the
lace and jet on her cape.
"Gracioust Did they get all her dia-
monds?" cried the woman with the red
bonnet
mo; she was wearing them. They got
all the rest OF her jewelry, though, as
well as her silverwsre. She said her first
thought was that if she hadn't had them
shed have lost them. too. And such a
time as she had had in persuading her
husband TO take her"
Wen. this may prove a lesson to him to
take her oftencr."
you don't know him. He said II he had
been at home getting his natural sleep
and protecting the house they would have
lost nothing"
W ELL WtlAs SOME IEUNAf WOULD NAt sooner
than confess that they are wrong. But /
do think that Clara is really little care
less; she keeps all her valuables in a
safe"
"The very place in which a burglar
would look for them FIRST" put in the wo-
man with the huge muff. mo burglar
would ever find my Jewels, that l know.
I keep a box marked Jewels on my dress
ing table with a few stick pins and things
I'm It, lust for show, but"
why, so do IT, cried the woman with
the red bonnet. "only l keep my watch in
it. My husband gave it to me, and It is
so hideous that I only wish somebody
would steal It; then I could select a new
one for myself. I keep my diamonds in
a large envelope in the bottom Of the
waste basket. Now, what burglar would
ever think Of ransacking waste basket?'
But do you never forget them2'
"Once I did. 1t was before we came to
Chicago. Henry's mother was coming to
spend the day, and in tidying up for her
I emptied the contents of the waste bas-
lSet on the ash heap. We were at the
lunch table when ! happened To think Of
my diamonds. ] threw up my arms,
screamed and ran out of the room. Hen
RVS mother thought was crazy, and took
refuge in the next house. But by some
miracle Of good luck I found my dia-
monds where I had thrown them"
II think It was luckl Now, / keep my
diamonds in the rag bag; who would

q used to keep mine in a little bag under
the corner of the rug in my bed room.
You see, the rug ran under my bed, and
they were perfectly safe. But one day 1
had my bed moved, and. as ] had forgotten
my diamonds, somebody stepped on them
and they all had to be reset. Stlll, that
was not as bad as II they had been stolen.
/ keep them in an old shoe now; the Shoe
with its mate, is in the corner of a cup
board, and / am perfectly easy about
them"
"Of course Before I thought Of the
waste basket 1 used to keep my jewels
rolled up in "a bundle of sUiled linen. But
once, by some mistake. il was sent to the
laundress. / finally got almost every
thing back, but I had three new gray
hairs as we'll. But. O dear, here we are
talking about out diamonds-just look
out Of the window at that beggar; her
feet are almost bare"
The woman with the huge muir gave a
little scream 20, my goodnessv she
cried, "a beggar came asking for shoes
while we were at breakfast this morning;
] told the waitress to hunt a pair out of
my cupboard What II she got the one
with the diamonds? / must go this minute

And 1 told Bessie that she could sell
all the rags for her little benevolent as

lace and Jet on her cape. perhaps she
