Sacrifice Made for Dress.

Using the Log Angeles fashion show
for his text, DR.. Alfred Jones, distin-
guished nerve specialist of London,
now visiting the California city, made
the assertion that dress is causing
the ruination of more lives In Ameri-
ca than malignant disease" He said
the intense competition among Amer
lean women of all classes to keep up

and stood by while the two took out

porter found an envelope, from which
| he took the missing pin. The owner
of it gave him one dollar.
Somewhat similar was the case of
who on the night before she was due
to sail for Europe came down to the
desk in great excitement. Her valu-
able pearl necklace was gone. She
had wrapped it, she said during the
morning in tissue paper, preparatory
to packing it, and must have left it
on the bureau.
To the manager the idea of the It's
sue paper suggested the waste bas-
ket The contents of the waste bas-
been taken to the cellar and had
been compressed with other refuse
into $50 pound bale. There was
but one thing to do, and that was to
examine this bale. The manager and
the steward set themselves at the
task. Piece by piece the paper was
removed, but at the end of almost
three hours not a sign of the neck
lace had appeared.
The day after the departure of the
steamer the manager received a letter
from the voyager, sent ashore by the
pilot.
i Il am so sorry to have given you
so much trouble" it read. 81 have
found the necklace in my trunk"
A woman from Washington, who al
ways travels with lot of diamonds,
arrived one night at New York no
| tel unaccompanied by the maid, who
usually travelled with her. About half
past nine o'clock the next morning
she came downstairs GREATNESS.
Il want those doors locked and no
body permitted to leave this build
| ing" she cried. MY channels bag, in
which carry all my jewels, is gone,
and I want all the help searched.
When l went to bed last night laid
the bag under a piece of crumpled
newspaper in corner Of this shelf
in the closet"
Are you sure that after all you
did not put 1t in your trunk sug-
gested the manager.
| The woman was indignant at the
idea, and demanded that police head
quarters be communicated with in
stantly. When the central office de-
tective reached the hotel the mana.
ger called him aside explaining the
situation, and advised him to insist
upon the woman opening the trunk.
| Ten minutes later the sleuth came
downstairs grinning.
THE bag was where you said il
was, all right" he said to the man
ager.
An engagement ring figured in a
theft charge at Fifth avenue hotel
A young woman who had been out
shopping entered the hotel breath
lessly one morning and hurried to her
room. In very short time she was
downstairs again, with demand upon
the manager that he have the cham
bermaid arrested. She said that her
engagement ring, which had cost
$500 had been stolen from her room
and as the chamber maid was the only
person who had access to the room,
she simply knew the woman had it,
She was SO positive In her state
ment that the manager Immediately
telephoned to the nearest police sta
ton for plain clothes man. The
chambermaid had been in the hotel
many years, and was well thought of.
A few questions convinced the detec-
tive of her innocence. Then he put
some questions to the woman who had
! lost the ring.

HC6 ueSk. SHe nolu up SOlQ mesh
handbag
Il saw woman who had this bag
In her hand sit down in the corridor"
she said. She got up a few minutes
later and went away, leaving it,
thought she might return, so I kept
my eyes on it for while; but now
I have got to go, and as she has not
come back thought had better turn
the bag in to YOU"
A few minutes later another wom-
an came up to the same place and ask
ed whether anything had been heard
of a feather boa, which she was sure
somebody had stolen. After search
the clerk produced the boa and she
went out of the hotel.
Fifteen minutes afterward a taxi
cab driver entered and turned in at
the Office a feather boa which he said
fare from the hotel had left in the
cab. To the clerk it looked familiar.
He examined it carefully. 1t was the
same boa that had been claimed only
a quarter of an hour before.
Only a few minutes had passed when
third woman rushed up. She asked
the clerk to please to tell the hotel
detectives or the police or the newspa-
pers, or somebody, to find valuable
fur muff which had been stolen from
her She was positive she had left
it in her room. The clerk listened at
tentively to her description. Then
he ducked under the counter and sol
emnly handed her the muff.
Why, where did you get this?" she
demanded.
1T was picked up in the corridor,
madam was the reply.
She signed her name to the receipt
book and then went away in the same
haste she had come When the clerk
looked up from the book he found
she had left her pocketbook on the
counter
The rewards given by women, and
men, too, to those who have return

we're occupying an apartment in an
exclusive hotel went away to spend
the Christmas holidays. One got back
the day before the other. When she
entered the bedroom she was amazed
to see lying on the dressing table a
diamond bar pin belonging to her
friend. 1t contained Is jewels, and
was worth several thousand dollars.
She was going away from town that
same day and simply enclosed the pin,
together with note, in an envelope,
and left the latter on the dressing ia

The next morning the other woman
showed up. The day after that she
sent hurry call downstairs for the
manager
ooh this is tragic!" she exclaimed
when the latter entered her room. my
diamond bar pin is gone. 1t was stolen,
l am sure, and you must have the
chambermaid arrested
The manager looked at her She
answered his questions impatiently,
but they drew from her the Informal
ton that when she entered her bed
room the day before she had found a
note on the dressing table from her
friend, but she was in such a hurry to

It aside; and yes, she admitted after
some hesitation, it was possible 1t
might have fallen over into the waste
basket that stood near.

For most Of the time during
our eleven years practice here
we have been giving from 2 to
6 mornings of our time to other
towns in this county with good
support. Until the past two
months we have done this and
have found that by putting in
all our time and energies here,
we will have no time to spare
and it has proven Of much sat-
isfaction to our patients in this
community to be able to get
appointments in the morning
more often than formerly.
Our work has been a burden
to US the last few years because
of the extra demands of the
other towns and so refused
many urgent calls the past two
months to 60 to these other
towns for regular trips as we
did the past several years and
we have found it to our advant-
age as we'll as to the local
practice to be at home at all.
