The shoplifter is often the puzzle
to the matron of the Adams street
station. They come in great numbers
from the poor, shabby woman, who
has stolen a few pairs of socks, or a
little frock for her baby, whom she
longs to have dressed like the babies
of her well-to-do neighbors, to the
woman of apparent wealth, who has
secreted some seemingly useless trifle.
One woman, faultlessly gowned and
of undoubted culture and good breed
ing, who offered $500 not to be made
to sleep in a cell had been arrested
for taking three pairs of 69-cent
gloves. She was indignant at her ar
rest, but she didn't deny the theft,
merely offered to pay for the gloves
That was case out of many such
that Mrs. Boylan recalls from her ex
periences at the Adams street sta

the rich and thievery with the poor,
who, at least, have the prick of neces-
sity to lend palliation to their guilt.

in the life of the police matron. Their
days and nights are a ceaseless round

direction of Professor Fred G. Fisher,
who travels with Mr.. Sunday.
The general effect on the towns was a
depression, which lasted for some days
after the meetings closed. Society was
at standstill, as a major portion of
the society leaders of the town renounc
ed dancing, cardplaying and theatres.
The meetings also had their effect on
the financial interests of the place, as
many people who could i'll afford it had
given Mr.. Sunday money, and many
of the poorer classes were scarcely able
to purchase the necessaries of life.
Later life resumed it's old routine,
and card parties and dances became as
much the rage as they were before, and
many of the converts returned to their
old ways.
