It is not long since that stately and
graceful girl entered a street car on
one Of the principal thoroughfares on
the cars are but scantily patronized,
and the only other occupants of the
car were two ladies' and a man. She
was faultlessly attired, and the women
who sat opposite her eyed her tailor
made costume admiringly-perhaps a
little enviously. She paid her fare. ex-
hibiting as she did so a pretty little
purse exceedingly well filed. This fat
purse she returned to her pocket, and
half turned as she sat down to look out
of the window. The other women,
after carefully examining every detail
of her charming blue costume from
throat to hem and appraisirg its cost
to the remotest fraction of a dollar,
turned and looked out of their own
windows. Nobody noticed the man,
who was well dressed, but otherwise
Insignificant in guise, save for mag
nificent diamond on his finger.
But the man, who sat not far away
from the stately girl, was not SO alb
sorbed in the passing show Of the
sidewalk. Slowly he edged nearer to
the flowing blue skirt with the line Of
the pocket just revealed by the white
tip of a handkerchief. The girls mind
had wandered from the sidewalk End
was lost in plans Of her own, but she
was not too dreamy to be conscious OF
a hand gently cropping in her pocket.
Nerved by indignation, she turned and
grasped through the cloth the hand OF
the well-dressed man which was taking
the purse out of her pocket, and even
as she did SO he released his hold OF

the purse, wrenched the hand from
her grasp and fed from the car, leav-
ing three astonished women to stare
and exclaim.
So far this is not remarkable or
unusual story, but one can't say the
same Of its conclusion. The stately
girl went home and to her dressing
room to prepare for dinner. AS she
pulled from her pocket the purse and
handkerchief something fell out of the
folds Of the latter and tinkled on the
floor. 1t was the would-be thief's tsia-
mond ring very beautiful one.
which the girl afterward had reset and
occasionally wears for whim's sake.
The ring was too loose for its owner,
and as he wrenched his hand from the
girls hold it had slipped OF. Natur-
ally lie failed to claim it-and for that
matter it had probably cost him MOTH

ious occasion it has long train, but
for the receptions of the winter and for
ball gowns trains will be shorter. This
dress is suitable for a court function
and is elegantly lined throughout with
pale pink taffeta. A touch of green to
give it tone is found in the tiny vine
panel which is of delicate touches Of
green and pink. Emeralds are the jew
els worn. And this combination Of
pink and green is the prettiest seen in
years upon evening gowns. The popu
lar pink and blue fades beside it.
