cunious printer of northern New York,
who threatened to print the so-called

suddenly disappeared. His disappear,
ance about 1925 was taken hold of and

A week or two ago an attendant at
one OF the big theaters on the Paris
boulevards found fine pear necklace
which she handed over to the box
office. One of the spectators, lady,
saw the woman pick up the necklace.
and went to the boX-of1ice and claimed
1t as her own. To mark her appre-
citation of the attendants honesty she
gave her 20 francs. The next day,
however, the real owner of the neck
lace presented herself at the theater to
make inquiries. On hearing what had
occurred she burst into laugh, and
explained that the pearls were but imi.
tation, and had cost her 10 francs only

eight francs on the transaction.
