A s2o,ooo,ooo FRAUD.
That Is What the Bridal Package In the
Government Treasury IL Declared to BE.

-
Government Treasury Is Declared to BE.
81 hate to shatter pet delusion by
giving the facts in the case" said a
former clerk in the treasury department
at Washington, "but fraud ought TO be
exposed regardless of consequences, and
the greatest fraud know of is the IA
nous bridal package of the treasury
vaults.
II say famous out it isn't famous In
a general sense. 1t is famous only
among bridal couples l don't know
how it is, but every bridal couple that

tour-and it seems to me that about
nine-tenths Of the bridal couples OF the
country go TO Neutrality-suspicious. all
about that package, and the bride cant
rest until she goes through the regular
routine connected with it. No visit to
Washington by stranger is complete
without an inspection of the treasury
vaults, but if his or her visit is "a non
bridal one the fraud Of the package
isn't played.
81 don't know who it was in the de-
partment that first imposed it on a brl-
! DIAL pair, but it went, and it grows in
popularity every year. When the couple
enter the vault, the man III charge, aft
er a few preliminary and perfunctory
remarks, reaches up on a shelf, takes
down package of notes, and tells the
bride to take it in her hand, If she
hasn't asked for it the very first thing.
He then tells her that the package con-
tains $50, 600, GOO in treasury notes, all
in denomination of SO, 600 each. The
bride is delighted, of course, and when
she goes back home she talks for weeks
about having held $40, ZOO, 600 in hel
hand all at one time. The bridegroom
can't resist enjoying that same pleas
ure, and he fondles the package awhile
and the pair go away blissful over the
experience, while the treasury vaul
man losses the package back ON thu
shelf and chuckles.
"Now this is all simply gigantic
fraud on the young people. The treas
