lea.
Policewoman Emile Glorieux, who
traced the switch from the boudoir of
a society woman on Lowry Hill to a
dance hall at sol Cedar avenue, is ap-
pearing in new police role as the re-
suit of the incident. She isn't en-
ployed as a detective. but she has DEM

work When necessary.
Some time ago Miss Glorieux asked
housewives interested In the better

report to her when the maids attend

all in trouble. That he went to mass regularly
was admitted, but there were some who remarked
that his manner of blessing himself revealed the
amateur worshiper The conjecture that he might
be a Government spy came to Bartley's own ears.

Shippensburg, Pa.-Because Mr.. and
Mrs Robert Evans and little son,
stranded vaudeville actors, we're re-
fused assistance by wealthy church
people here and obtained liberal help
through collections raised In pool
rooms and cigar stores, the town re-
sembles a skeptical foreign mission
field today, with church and nom
church factions bitterly criticising
each other. and those on the fence de-
claring that things are going to the
demnition bow-wows.
The Evans family arrived in town
recently. on their way to-somewhere
The head of the family is partially par
alyzed. and on account OF his inert
ness and the age Of the husband ana
Wife they failed to keep up with the
mace that the vaudeville stage set
them. Anyway. they arrived here
stranded.
Being adherents of religious de-
nomination, they sought the pastor
who. although pinched financially him,
self, gave them forty cents and pre-
sented their cause before a wealthy
member of his congregation. But the
wealthy member and others neglected
to assist.
The Evanses, discouraged. appealed
to the proprietor of the Sherman
house, who gave them beds. and IN
the hotel they found charity. Several
hotel '.loungers" went out to the pool
rooms and cigar stores and raised q
comfortable purse for the family and
sent them on their way to relatives at
steelton. The whole AFFAIR has set
the gossip pot boiling.
