Women Like 10 Beat the Tariff, but
Cant Keep Their Mouths
shut,

You hear a lot of discussion about the
way the customs officials get tips about
tho dresses and the jewelry American
women purchase in Paris" said an Ameri-
can who Is in business in the French capi-
tai. 1T is perfectly simple.
you can sit on the curbstone of the
Avenue de rOpera any day in the season
and listen TO the chat of the American
women who go by. Nine out OF ten Of
them will be talking about what they have
been buying. You can sit In the reception
room of a Paris hotel with paper In front
Of you pretending TO read. and you can
hear punches OF women talking nothing
but clothes I'm going 20 get so and So
one will say and another will tell how
Charlie is going TO let her have this. An
other will say that her husband has prom

planned. For tho equivalent Of 10 cents.
the hallboy will get you the names Of these
women.
You can walk into a shop and appear
to be looking at a Is matchbox while
party of Americans are examining a mag
nificent diamond necklace and can over
hear the conversation. In almost every
case in which information about articles
purchased abroad reaches the ears OF the
customs officials the women who make
the purchases are In some way responsible
for the information leaking out.
There are a lot Of persons In Paris who
msks their living just by keeping their
ears open. They carry what they have
heard 20 the United States treasury agents
In Paris. and when seizure is made upon
their information they receive a slice Of
what the government gets out Of it.
Il know a woman, an American, who
lives in Paris, who makes a handsome in
come just out OF keeping her ears open.
She used 10 be hard up, but now she
dresses as we'll as almost everybody over
there. and l happen to know that she Is
an informer. There are persons who make
as much as $1,000 year In this way.
1T is easy enough, Why, two smart
! Americans by spending their time hanging
about the Avenue de FOpera and the Rue
de la PAX keeping their ears open and
occasionally peepinE into the show win
