Where Women Hide Valuables

| Where Women
Finding hiding places for jewels
and valuables seem to be a woman's
natural instinct. The best of Sher-
lock Holmeses will tell you that the
hooks and crannies contrived by men
are crude, compared with those of
the gentler sex.
It is not the female Raffleses who
give the most trouble. Go into the
complaint department of any city S
detective force, wait there an hour
and your sympathy will be with all
who can't get away. The losing Of
many Jewels lies with the absent
minded women, who are excellent
hiders-so much so that they overdo
it.
1t is a common occurrence for
stylishly gowned woman to 90 into
the sleuth headquarters and, between
sobs, wall out her tales of the stolen
heirlooms. The detectives seldom
say much; but a trip to the house
generally convinces them that the
woman herself ,i is the real lTobber.
She had been sure that she put her
treasures in her secret hiding place,
a hollow corner in a bedpost. In
stead the detectives found them,

under the bureau. Then she remem-
bered that the false top on the bed
post was loose and, fearing that
burglars might come in while she
was asleep and discover the hollow
: section, she chose the other place
2 She argued to herself that a burglar
would have to move the bureau and
her brave husband would surely be
t awakened by the noise.
One might imagine that the woman
would feel little ashamed of her own
f memory, of the trouble she had given
= the sleuths or, at least, of her sly
j., accusation of her maid. Not a bit
of it. She pats herself on the back,
It instead, for being such a successful
p hider, reasoning that thief would
u have found it as difficult to discover
/ the things as it was for her.
