QosINd AND FINDING
PEOPLE WHO FIND LOST PARCELS

Practice Of Looking for vaIsebies
Dropped by shoppers-some Artl-
Gle Lost by Eight Out Of Every One
Hundred Women Who Go Shop
ping.
THAT is a parcel hunter" said a
floor walker in one of the big stores.
He nodded his head toward a woman
wedging her way along the crowded
aisle, scanning the floor assiduously as
she went.
They are an odd class" he OK
planned. with the advent of the gift
buying season. which has already set
in, come a small army of people who
make an annual practice of searching
the big stores and streets for parcels
and money that are dropped by shop
pers. Pedestrians also have a hobby
of looking for things, and motormen
have long followed the practice in the
business districts.
You would hardly believe it, but
eight out of every hundred women who
go shopping lose something in the
way of money or valuables before they
get home. The average of carelessness
in men is about one-half of one per
cent-presumably on account of the
advantages of numerous pockets and
ale inherent masculine aversion To
carrying things in their hands When
you consider the thousands that invade
the big stores each day you can realize
that hundreds of articles are lost.
Some one finds them.
"A number of the parcels turn up at
the lost and found counters of the
various stores, but the vast majority
of things dropped are never account
ed for. The things picked up range
from a kid glove to well-filled
pockctbook. Oftentimes costly pack
ages Of silks and furs are found.
The motorman is also often reward
ed by profitable finds He knows by
experience that women getting on and
off cars with packages in their hands
are more or less agitated. That's when
they drop things At this season of
the year, every day at the bar barns.
you can hear the motormen talk of
their finds as they come in from their
trips.
talk with motorman at the
Ridve Avenue car barn revealed the
truth of the floor walkers assertion.
He said: There are even more things
found in the street than on the side
walk. Money and parcels dropped in
the street are likely to remain undis-
turbed longer than If dropped on the
sidewalk. So the motormen has the
field practically to himself The big
