After working in the store as de-
tective for fifteen years another
woman developed into, shopllfter
and became q very clever one. Furs
were her specially and 1 suppose she
stole at least $4,000 worth before she
was discovered. She would ask for
a day off and come into the shop
heavily yelled and make straight for
the fur counters. There giving an as
sumed name she would try on wraps,
coats and all kinds of furs, telling
the shop girls that she would surely
buy the next time she came in. Once
she was seen taking an expensive
fur collar, but realizing that she was
followed, dropped II and disappeared In
the crowd before she could be caught.
A few weeks later she was seen TAX.
ing a fur coat and captured Just as
she was sliding It into suit case.
There was CONSERVATION in the store
when she lifted her veil and we saw
that che shopllfter was our trusted
woman detective. She was sentenc-
ed to serve six months"
