Too few people think 1t crime to
swindle the customs. For that reason
many bright and braiay persons think
hard how TO get goods from abroad
without paying toll 10 Uncle Sam. As
most of the successful operators IN
this line are women. who have more
time to think about such things than
men. II can be Imagined that the Gus
toms officers have TO he eternally alert
TO protect the government.
Tlv avenues through the steamship
passenger route are pretty carefully
guarded. and as comparatively few
people go abroad the great mass OF
jewellers In this protected land are de-
barred from sharing In the humorous
little game Of hide the diamond 0.
smuSSle the silk. But there is nm
+, other avenue that is beln: used enthusi-
astically by the arri-duty aggregation.

able article is concealed therein. So
far as It is possible. however. It *
done. and the addrcsSee has togo tc
the postofice and pay duty on the
amount mt which the dutiable article
is appraised.
