Thief In the Four Hundred.

New York's Four Hundred are great
ly disturbed by the presence of a thief
an unknown woman thief-within their
inner circles.
During the past winter thefts have
occurred at select functions in widely
separated points along Fifth avenue
and the adjacent fashionable side thor
oughfares, where 1t would have been
impossible for an ordinary thief to get
his nose inside the basement door.
Costly wraps have been claimed by
some particular guest and worn away
as her own. Valuable sealskin coats
have been appropriated by this guest,
and their rightful owners have never
seen them again. In one or two in
stances costly sealskin wraps have
been taken from the cloakroom at pri-
vate dances and comparatively poor
garments left in their places.
Several society women have leagued
thmselves together for the detection of
the unknown, but so far they have not
succeeded in catching her. In fact, n
theft of the kind was committed very
recently under the very noses of the
matrons who had determined upon the
capture of the culprit. No clew has
been found to the identity of the aristo-
cratic culprit save a handkerchief
marked "F." in one corner. It was in
the pocket OF n cheap fur cape which
was left In the place OF an elegant seal
skin garment worth $1,000.

War artist.

There is n young woman artist in
Boston to whom the war has brought
success. 1t is said to be very i'll wind
that blows nobody good, and in her case
at least this has proved true. She had
a studio in New York for year or two
and plodded along with her art work,
as hundreds Of other women are doing,
merely managing to keep the wolf from
the door. One of the woman artists
favorite occupations was to watch the
stately ships as they steamed up and
down the bay.
She loved a ship as her brother. They
were real, living things to her, not
senseless hulks of wood and steel, de-
pendent for their usefulness upon the
intelligence Of some one else. She could
sketch ships and anything marine, as
the studio girls expressed 1t, "out of
sight"
About year ago circumstances COM
PEELED her to remove to Boston, where
she opened another studio. There she
has been doing work of a miscellaneous
character, sometimes Respondent as TO
whether success would ever really come
her way. In the intervals Of more seri-
Gus work she drew ships.
Something suggested the making of a
sketch of the Maine. then anchored in
Havana harbor. She had seen the ves-
sci when in New York and had an ex-
cellent rough drawing of 1t among her
possessions. With this to work from
she made an elaborate pen and ink
sketch.
one morning. like every other Ameri-
can. she was horrlfied by the news that
the Maine had been blown up in the
very shadow of Moro Castle and sup
posedly by Spanish treachery. She at
once thought of her drawing, and has
tily snatching it up she started for the
office of a Boston daily. Her drawing
was not only excellent as to technique,
but had certain spirit and general at
Effectiveness that pleased the editorial
eye. Moreover, II was timely, and the
unusualness of n woman understanding
things nautical very likely amused and
interested the buyer.
The woman who liked to make pic
lures of ships had found her opportu-
nifty, and she knew how to take advan-
tage of 1t. That first week she cleared

The old IDEA that 'men must work

weeping. Just as certain seems the ex-
