cAUGRTIN 4 MINUTE
INCIDENT OF THE LATE CHARITY
BALL THAT is BEING KEPT
QUIET.
THERE WAS A THIEF PRESENT
AND HE MANAGED TO GET HOLD
OF A VALUABLE WAL
LET,
THERE WAS A THIEF PRESENT
BOT HAD TO GIVE TT UP AGAIN
Little Remark Made by the We
man Accompanying Him Gave 1t
All Away.

An incident Of the Charity ball given
in Masonic Temple last week, is begin
ming to furnish a topic for quiet talk
among the few who are being trusted
with the story. 1t seems that about
the time that certain young gentle
man and lady were about to leave for
home, they stepped into an ante-room
at the head Of the ball room where
the young lady adjusted her wraps.
She placed a bouquet on one of the
chairs while her escort laid his over
coat down on the chair covering the
flowers. After he had assisted her with
her wraps, they stepped out and
across the ball room, returning in a
minute or less time. When the gentle
man picked up his coat, the flowers
were gone. He Immediately put his
hand to his coat pocket, in which was
a wallet containing a number of valu-
able papers and a sum of money. 1t
too was gone.
The gentleman happened to know the
two detectives Of a local agency, who
were present in full dress, and hasten
ed over to the door to notify them Of

ever had my wedding ring in her pos
session."
Such a question suggests possible
ties that l cannot discuss was Miss
Fay's comment
How do you answer such questions,
was asked
Il don't answer them at ALL" replied
MISS ray i make 1T a rule never to
answer any compromising or incrimin-
allng questions. If the answer should
confirm the suspicion of the doubling
husband or wife, nothing but misery
and grief would result. The truth in
SUCH cases dawns upon the injured one
soon enough in this world
Proceeding, Miss Fay opened another
letter. 1t was from young girl, bur
It dlnered widely from the tone of any
or the others. Pathetic to a degree
the letter was as follows:
Dear Madam: Will you please kindly tell
me now can succeed in getting position?
l nave no home, no parents. l seem to be SO
unfortunate. have been trying to get work
Tor SO long that / am heaftsck and tired of
trying to live, as have no one to advise me.
Please, dear madam tell me what to do. Will
| ever have home? Please do answer this
and | will remember you in my prayers.
i would answer such a question as
that, said Miss Fay, s"even if it was
not accompanied by an envelope and
a stamp.
The next letter belonged to the anus
ing variety. matron, who is the
proud mother of five manageable
daughters, propounds this terse ques-
ton:
''Will you phase tell me if my five
daughters will ever marry, and
who?'
Another letter from wicked man on
lglehart street contains. this dangerous
inquiry:
will you kindly tell me if am ever
to be able to live free and happy with
the woman that love? If this can't
be answered, please return letter and
oblige
Either he or the woman he loves.
or both of them must be married..
remarked Miss Fay as she folded up
the letter.
The last letter Miss Fay opened be-
fore going to supper came from a wo-
man of a decidedly inquisitive turn
of mind. 1t read:
Am ever going to be a mother. and
how soon? Am / ever going to have
my ears cured of deafness? There's
certain party that you answered a
similar question for in Market hail..
She owes me some money and will I
ever get it?"
