From these and other passages 1t IS
evident that in ancient times certain

that in some instances pipes were
used. N

New York Times, is that many OF

NEW PURSES HELP THIEVES.
Money sachets DANGLING from Won(
ems Wrists Make 1t Easy for
the Crooks.

''This latest fashion in women'ss
purses said detective in big dry
goods store, according to the New
York Sun, lis a great aid to the
thief. No longer is it necessary for
him to grab purse from woman's
hand, to pick or cut it from her
pocket or to follow her around UNI
til she lays it down and then seize
it and run. These pocketbooks on
chains have eliminated to large de-.
gree the danger of the work Of the
store thief.
almost every woman nowadays
carries purse on chain. She either
wears the chain over her wrist or
holds it in her hands; at any rate,
the thing itself bangles at a distance
of from three to eight inches from
the hand. All of these pocketbooks
on chains open and shut in the sim
plest fashion, merely by twist of
the two little knobs which cross each
other over the opening.
"The thieves who make women
shoppers their particular prey can
open one of these purses and take
out the contents while it is dangling
in woman's hand, and can do it
with amazing ease. One doesn't re-
quire to be even expert to do it sue
cessfully. just try it on your wife
or your sister some time and see
how easy it is. You will find you can
do it when you and she are alone;
imagine how vastly easier it is for
an expert thief to do it in a crowd.
1--WE have instructed all of our
saleswomen, foorwalkers, cash boys
and girls and other employees to look
out for these purse thieves because
OF the numerous complaints we have
received since the chain purse be-
came the fashion.
Zone woman lost $50 from one Of
these purses here the other day. and
what mystified her was that her
pocketbook was closed as she had
closed it after the money was taken.
This particular thief demonstrated
as we'll as anything could the ease
with which such thefts can be per-
petrated. 1t was not necessary for
him to close the purse after taking
the money, and to do it he. of course.
added to the risk Of detection. New
ertheless, he closed it, and the only
explanation of his taking SO much
trouble is that he knew he could do
1t without being seen or felt"
