fBv Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Baltimore, Nov. 26-"The tight skirts
worn by fashionabIy dressed women are
an invitation 10 pickpockets and
thieves" said Chief Of Police Farnan
to-day. The Baltimore chief has been
making a study of the effect Of styles
C dress upon the pickpocket's art.
Women VIII carry handbags contain
ing money and valuable papers" he said
Time was when women had pockets in
their dresses where they could put a
wallet or purse, but nowadays their
gowns are built so tight that they
couldn't slip a folded 81 bill into them
without making them bulge.
There was another time when women
could stick vauables. money or small
wallets and purses into the bosoms Of
their gowns, but they can't do that now,
for most Of their gowns button up the
back. and somebody would have to but
ton the purse in and go along to un-
hutton it out. Women carry handbags
along dark streets; purse snatcher
rughes out on them. There is a short
sharp struggle, If the woman is the least
bit plucky, but the purse snatcher gem
orally wins"
