Pictures of Undressed Women.
| What struck them first of all was the
quantity of pictures of women on the
walls. lying on tables and mantelpieces,
strewn about the floor. tucked away in
drawers. even hidden under the beds. For
instance. there were no less than a dozen
colored photogra phs of show girl. who
was extremely decollette.
There were photogra phs Of rather come

names of these had been scratched off
| the backs of the cards. There were pic
| lures OF girls in tights, of girls in very
short skirts, OF girls In scanty draperies
In all sorts OF poses. Wherever you look

young Christians occupied there were
| cheap prints Of women, most of whom
were decidedly under-dressed
| Various women friends had sent or
| brought to the rooms little post card

| There were several others. pictures of
| actresses that you can buy at any

bled rather affectionate lines. Some of
the cards were initiated some were un-

Twelve Years Acquaintance.
They heard first of all that Mrs. Sisel
and her daughter had known Leung Linn
for at least twelve years. having met him
at mission in Chinatown. They heard
that Leung Lin had visited the Sigel
house more than once. and that Mrs
him in several restaurants and amusement
| places.
They had been seen at Fort George to-
gether, where Leung ran a ball and pocket
game under his American name, William

the Chinaman and had even helped him
run the ball and pocket game.

didn't make me think he was what you
would call a regular Christian, said
Bernstein tonight.
