THIEVES OF PARIS CAUGHT
Extraordinary Collection Of stolen
Property Found in Their Camp
In a Suburb.

The Paris police force made a re-
markable haul at the suburb of Mon
treuil-sous-Bois. Eighteen men were
arrested, and an heteroge-
neous stock of stolen properly was
seized. The seizure was made in a
camp OF amateurly constructed
houses, which was divided between
two gangs of thieves and apaches.
Most of the members belonged to the
chief band, commonly known as
Beers" owing to their houses being
known as 'Transvaal City"
Inquiries made by he police showed
that every Sunday morning the In
habitants of "Transvaal City" sold
stolen meat at 4d a pound, and or
gained penny lotteries with prizes
such as clocks, stolen watches, BIZ
cycles and stores of preserved gro
ceries. The police seized a quantity
of harness, saddlery, bicycles, sewing
machines, typeWriters, mattresses and
bedding, and in a newly plastered
ceiling they uneartbed tewelry and
watches enough to stock two or three
jewelers. shops.
The information on which the police
acted was given by a poor woman
who had been kept in bondage by the
thieves in order to do theit cooking
for them. Every one Of them could
steal with both audacity and cunning.

LIGHT, DAINTY TRIPLES
CHILDREN's BoNNETS MADE UP
OF LACE, sRAlDs AND RIBBON.
This Seasons Models Show Some Of
the Prettlest Designs That Mill
ners Have Favored Us With
for Many Years.

One Of the choicest shapes in bon
nets made for little girls is pictured
here. Children's bonnets generally are
made of light and lacy braids, narrow
and allover laces and trimmed with
soft plain messaline ribbons and tiny
blossoms. Occasionally a pretty mod
ell shows narrow velvet ribbon used.
Every one Of these hats bears the
stamp OF a designer who knows how
to express chlldishness in the ensem-
bic of the design. They are emphatic
ally childish and correspondingly at
tractive. They are soft and comfort
able and fit the small heads for which
they are designed perfectly.
Nearly all models for children are
lined with sheer silks, like China silk
or liberty silk. Chiffon Is employed
for facings and sometimes as a foun-
dation under lace.
As a rule the little hats are with
kout ties and in many cases set so
closely to the head that they hardly
need fastening. A short bride of vel
