Press, Miss Mermelstein went to a dance
with several girl friends. The strain of
dancing broke the strap on one OF her lit
tie satin slippers, and she was forced to
use common, unromantic pin TO repair
the break. Afterward the girls returned
home in a trolley car, which Miss Mermel-
stein was the last 10 leave. She had just
placed one foot on the pavement when she
felt the pin snap, and the satin slipper
gave way again She called TO the con-
ductor TO stop the car, but too late. He
already had given the signal to the mo-
torman, and the car sped on, carrying the
slipper and leaving Miss Mermelsten

the gaze of curious persons, she managed
to get home, deeply grieved at the loss of
the slipper ana not suspectlng the incident
