the skirt about the knees.
A short bOlero trimmed with the braid
was worn over a blouse of the dyed lace
very simply made. The sleeves of the bO-
lero were slashed in the back TO show the
full lace sleeves of the blouse. Brass bullet
buttons were used on the bolerO and
sleeves.

jeweer, sent away by parcel post packet
containing sos diamonds, worth consider
able sum. These never reached their des-
tination, and the mystery OF their disap-
pearance has only just been cleared up.
Frau Blaschek's son has confessed that he
found the precious packet in a railway par
cells van, which he was cleaning, and gave
IL TO his mother.
The chaTwoman was remarkably liberal
with the jewelry so easily obtained To the
godmother of one of her children she gave
three stones, and on her sister (also a char
wOman) and her niece she bestowed sixteen
diamonds each. after having had them set
IN gold. 1t was this display of jewelry
which led TO the suspicious or the police
and the woman's arrest.
She herself possessed five rings, three
pairs of earrings, necklace ana pendant
cross, all richly set with diamonds, and
these she usually hid ia her bed She sold
ninety-seven stones 10 a jeweler, giving an
other dozen as presents 10 his children.
She explained that they were gifts from a
relative in Chicago.
When Frau Blaschck was taken into GUS
