ment store, occurred the same week
The first was the announcement Of
the engagement Of Miss Edith Lisle
to Mr.. Eugene Nevins, who was one
Of the partners of the store, and So
ciety agreed that II was fine match.
Society refers to those things the
same way men refer to horses in a
race.
The second event was the general
overhauling Of the store detectives
and many of the sales girls, on ao-
count Of the sudden increase In shop
lifting. Laces and other valuable
goods not the usual prey Of the shop
litter we're being taken In a way to
make the loss a serious one and to
call for increased vigilance.
Maxim G. Co. had the reputation Of
carrying the finest line of laces In
the city. There were four salesgirls
in this department, and the one in
charge was Miss Grattan. She had
held her place for nearly a year when
the first theft was reported. The
first and second cases were passed
over, but when the third was re.
ported Miss Grattan was placed I'M
der suspicion. It was Mr. Ncvins
who set the watch on her, and It was
to Mr.. Nevins that the report was
made later on.
Lives with her widowed mother
goes out very little and then with
Mr.. Traver of the furniture depart
ment. It Is said that they are en-
| gagged. II she takes the lace, she
sells 1t somewhere. Cannot say thai
suspicion should attach to any one
Of the four at the lace counter"
In the line Of business Mr.. Nevin,
had once called Miss Grattan to tn,
office. She had not trembled ant
covered in his presence. On the con
trary, she had seemed too assured
and snippy to please him. Their,
must be discipline in department
stores, and when an employee Il

Nevins was displeased with her.
