l hadn't forgotten when 1 left the narrow
little lane with its memories OF old days
of Dutch burghers and green trees, and
with its present millions of dollars worth
of jewels tucked away out OF sight in the

Romances OF the street? Most OF them
date back more than 200 years, / guess
when this narrow, crooked little street
got its name OF Maiden Lane from the
red checked Dutch girls that strolled
here at dusk with their lovers. II the
gems that came here could tell their

en,i remember how, i'll the stormy
days before the war, Henry Ward

her master. Each time when The basket
came back, there were dozen or so
rings i'll it, flnng there by emotional wo-
men who made their most precious sac

II remember, too, us an incident of a
totally different character, when one day a

over in John street, flew out of Il third story
window. They had great diamond tInt
