Offices that most Of the aristocratic
pawning is done in England. One OF
the proprietcrs of such an office was
induced TO talk about some Of the
transactions Ia which his firm has been
concerned
The aTistocracy," he said, ARE not
quite so supplemented as most DeoDIa
suppose. Only one day last week a
young lady Of title had been 'pIunging
ct bridge with the result that sba
owed 500 when she left the tables.
It was Impossible for her to consult
her husband. who is a man in the
Guards. with hardly more than enough
to keep their little house in Pont
street going comfortably. so she came
70 us-and, curiously enough. we had
only a few weeks before had q visit
from her husband, who had lost heav-
lily over a horse. The jewels that this
wide-awalSe society dame was anxious
FOR US to accept as security we discOv-
cred were a portion OF Il dummy set.
such as most women have nowadays.
She seemed quite surprised that We
should wish 10 test the security offered,
and when found out. she only laugh
ed and exclaimed that she thought
either set would do. One was worth
upward Of $4,000, while the other was
worth hardly as many shilIings-
Not infreQuently we have been ask
ed to advance money upon the chance
OF the person needing It making a bril-
liant and wealthy marriage
Some months ago a lady brought
her daughter with her one afternoon,
one Of the Drettiest young women in
London society, and asked US, as she
was hard up and unable to pay her
heavy dressmdling bills, to advance
her $1,000 on the chance Of her dauEh-
ter marrying a very rich man. We
advanced her the sum she ASKED. Her
daughter made a brilliant match. and
three or four months after She sent US
a check
zone of the most romantic things
that have ever happened TO any OF our
clients occurred with reference to a
well-known French comtesse. She had
come over 10 London for the season
with her husband, and must have been
betting very heavily. for a week after
the Derby she was announced, and on
entering, told US that she must have
c10.000 by the end of the month. AS
with so many women, the only secu-
rity she could give was her jewels, and
these she knew she could not part with
in sufficient numbers without their alb
sence being noticed. The only thing
for her 10 do was TO have a counter
felt set made, and deposit the real
ones with us This she did. and on
her return to Paris we were startled
10 read of her jewels. a great stir
was made, and the thieves were ar
rested with their supposed booty in
Brussels During the trial the fact OF
the genuineness of the jewels was
questioned, and il was discovered they
were limitations. Within a week the
husband came over here in a terrible
state and upDraided US for advancing
money on his Wife's jewelry. and at
once redeemed those we had. But for
the fact of the burglary he would
probably never have known that his
wife was not wearing the family heir
looms instead of limitations"
