THE STEALING FAD.
Society al Club Women of Chicago
Have n Craze for Pilfer-
ing Souvenirs.

"Kleptomania," remarked a we'll
known club and society woman of Chi 4
cago rot long ago, sis decidedly over
worked word, and stealing an ugly one.
But the present fad or fancy for col
lecting lucky souvenirs'-abstracting
them eurreptitiously from the houses
Of your friends and acquaintance
surely partakes of the character Of one
or both.
"a year or two ago the fad began.
a popular Chicago woman remarked
one day to an intimate friend;
"'Oh. my dear. did you know that
have begun to collect souvenirs for
luck. They do say and she laughed as
women do when not quite sure Of the
approval Of their consciences, that to
steal souvenir brings one the best of
luck. So l borrowed with another
nervous ripple OF laughter, the tiny
statue which stood upon your library
table,
''The woman Of whom the statue had
been borrowed felt like demonstrate
ing in no gentle terms, for that statue
had a souvenir value to her well, and
she really cherished ii. But the bor-
rover was an old and well-loved friend.
She was taken by surprise, and hardly
knew how to act, so she let the matter
pass in silence. Perhaps by this time
she has begun to collect souvenirs in
this manner herself, for the fad seems
to have spread fast and furiously, and
about seven out of every ten people
whom one meets are afflicted with it,"
EYES," declared another Chicago
woman who has q wide and varied ae-
quaintance, I'm sorry TO say it, but it
is growing actually unsafe to expose
anything pretty which has no exces-
sive commercial value in Chicago.
Women take whatever they fancy un-
der the cover Of the new lucky SOU
venir' fad, and although they seldom
abstract anything of great cost or
wcsth, all manner Of dainty and sim
pie things with which the average
woman surrounds herself disappear
constantly. 1 had little silver paper
knife, for instance, which cost only a
couple of dollars, but which had been
given me by dear friend, and one day
I saw a woman of my acquaintance
who is suffering severely from the
new fancy eyeing it with admiring
glances. I feared for its safety, but
could not well remark upon the inten-
tions of which suspected her. When
she came to leave, however, she calmly
picked up the knife and slipped it into
/ the front of her waist.
"LuclSy souvenir, my dear she told
me carelessly, although she really had
the grace TO blush a little, and it's
SO pretty that shall enjoy it doubly.'
eyes responded, a little pointed
ly, I notice the pretty things are
usually chosen for the so-called
''lucky souvenirs" I've lost few such
trihes myself
"'Wel,' she answered, blushing a
little more. when you come to my
house you must help yourself to some
thing, too And so the matter ended
But it's an outrageous fad, inHmy opin-
ion. and the women who indulge in it
like the college boys who used 10 bear
away your prettiest and most cher.
ished stick pins and fans before your
eyes, apparently consider that to take
a thing in plain sight, or, if they do
not this, to tell you of it afterward
quite straightens the matter out, both
socially and morally. Trub'

BERLIN SUBURBAN SCENES.

The flotillas OF fruit boats which de- |
scend the Havel lakes at this season !
to discharge their contents into the I
markets of Berlin remind me that the !
suburbs Of the city may be very un-
reasonably decried. From the market
gardeners point of view, the south and
southwest environs of the capital can
challenge comparison with almost any
part of the empire. Asparagus and
strawberries are grown in abundance,
and the most successful nursery gar
dens in Germany are to be found be-
tween Potsdam and Berlin. II is, now
ever, in the cherry orchards Of Werder
that the suburban resident makes his
most confident appeal. They are plant
ed On the slopes of sandy dunes, and
the glory Of their blossom in spring
and the fruits of their flower in sum-
mer are due to the most careful culu-
vation and parental indulgence OF the
soil The whole great mass of cherry
trees consists of a forest of dwarfs, cut
so low that the branches almost touch
the ground, and the ripening fruit
gathers the full benefit of the reflected
heat of the sand. The ground about
the roots is kept free from weeds, so
that no foreign growth may absorb
such nourishment as it contains, and
every tree has it's private collector OF
rain. The prosperity Of Werder and
other fruit growing centres in Bran
denburg atcnes in a measure for the
rural emigration, which is fast empty
ing the fields of their laborers. The
landscape gardener, too, has found a
vocation in the suburbs. In Karshorst
in the east, in Pankow in the north, IN
Mahlow and Warnsee in the south, and
all the way through zehlendorf and
Grunewald to the very edge Of the pine
trees and the beginning Of the city,
colonies OF villas have grown up in the
last few years for the health and hap
piness Of hard working business men.
A villa in the suburbs means more to
a Rerliner than to a LOndOner. 1t
means release from the flats system
of dwelling house. 1t means the en-
ioyment of an independent front door
and the novelty Of a domestic staircase
1t is, perhaps, due to the sense OF re-
action that the villa residents display
their taste in every kind of variety.
Rocco maisonettes, miniature castles,
with tiny battlements, Bavarian cot
tages. Swiss chalets and many other
styles are affected by these liberated
citizens. Each little house has its own
little garden,where artifcialgnomes and
kobolds renew the romance Of a Teu-
ton wood.
The colonies" so far at least as the
cheaper residences are concerned, are
worked by limited building societies
which are far from proving so disas-
trous an experiment in Germany as
they have occasionally turned out
among ourselves. A villa with thrs'
rooms, a hall, kitchen, etc, and We
randa and garden, can be acquired IRON
the Berlin Homesteads Company (l.im
ted)" for an initial outlay OF e75 anC
the payment of e24 yearly as Interest
on the rest Of the purchase money. ph'
urban exodus from Berlin is taking
rapi dstrides, and the question OF set
Ting working mems COLONIES" in the
suburbs is only a matter of time, now
that the resources Of steam and electro
communication are so admirably util-
ized.-London Morning Post.
