Caught yellow Handed.

A rich American, residing in the st,
Georges quarter in Paris, had been for
some little time past the victim of sys-
tematic thefts. Bank notes and money
not left locked up disappeared reg
ularly NJ. Corvette, the commissary of
police, was informed of the robberies.
He found it would be impossible to keep
an effective watch on the bedroom where
the thefts occurred, but he adopted q
stratagem which turned out successfully.
"a small vial containing mixtures of
picric acid and fuschine was placed in a
metal case for holding gold, and a few
napoeons were placed on top. In order
to get out the gold the metal case had to
be held upside down. and then, Of course,
the chemical preparation would run out
and stain the thief's hands a bright and
indelible yellow. AS soon as some of the
gold was missed Nj. Corvette summoned
all the servants to his presence. The
Wallets fingers betrayed him Realizing
the uselessness Of denying when caught

duly locked up.

to hurry, jump into her rig and send the
impatient Sam bowling down the street
as if All alarm had just struck and
she were a member of a woman's fire
brigade
Miss Hastings leads quieter life. but
every moment of it is given to the details
of business. In this, however, she still
has time to leave a sharp impress of fem
ininity on the whole office. 4 bunch of
flowers, a glove, a veil. the neatnpSs of
the office and the disposition of books and
papers on the desks. all show woman's
presence.
She is tall, of firm figure and with a
striking head of auburn hair. She was
born in Engewood in 1877, passed
through the public school and, being of
her fathers office. From this position
she has grown to managerial charge of
the down town Office of the company
Every detail of the business is at her
fingers ends. With so many wagons and
men in so many sections of the city the
incest Judgment is required in timing de-
liveries. in making rates and in expedit-
ing business generally. All these details
have been mastered by Miss Hastings
and the whole Office looks to her for di-
rection.
1t is Miss Hastings opinion that she
has accomplished nothing extraordinary
for young woman. AS she sizes up the
duties of her position all that she needs
to do is to be down to work promptly on
time, to be quick at figures, to remember
faces over the counter and voices over the
telephone, to keep in mind just where and
when each wagon in service should be at
any emergency and at all times to be
ready with tact, judgment and common
sense in the transaction of business.

ing women or today
Like in all callings of life we find those
among them who are not qualified for the
business which they have so unfortunate
~ chosen, but this cannot be said of the
successful clerk. Like in every business
so hereto lie successful good moral
character is necessary, and the largest
number of women in stores are intelligent
and of good moral character; indeed,
the highest type of womanhood is found
among them.
A girl who is successful clerk, and
there are many who are, is generally dig
nited, polite, observant and a good Judge
of human nature, as these are some of
the most essential requirements. She is
also a woman of tact, and her perceptive
and conversational powers are well de-
veloped because of her contact with all
classes and conditions of people, Notice
the easy and graceful manner of women
in stores-they move about with little or
no embarrassment.
True, we meet with those who are iii
hammered and even ofttmes rude, but
this cannot be said of the majority, and
in speaking of any class the majority
should be taken into consideration

pected to be walking fashion plate and

capable of thinking for themselves, and
the clerks must do all the thinking for
them. In many cases they must study
the peculiar style of beauty of their Gus
toners and know just what is best adapt
ed to it, as to color, trimmings and ma
terials, and they are also expected to
know the exact amount required, notwith-
standing the fact that they know nothing
about the style in which the gown is to
be made.
Many shoppers think a clerk should
never grow tired, that it is entirely out of
place for her. and she must under no CON
sideration grow impatient or discourteous
no matter how discourteous the one may
be upon whom she is waiting.
There is often more discourtesy before
the counter than there is behind the
counter, and the lady is as often found
behind the counter as before, and no
doubt those who have so much cause to
complain about the women behind the

After taste hearing seems to be the
next sense developed. for nurse or mother
has rocked and sung, and the ,hythm and
sound have distracted the mind wholly
from tasting. Then comes the bright
light, which by sharp contrast with dark
ness awakens the nerves of sight, and
after awhile the little one responds to
playful touches here and there.
The mother must exercise all these
senses consciously in her play. Taste
will take care of itself, but after feeding
and sleep there should be occasionally
