New York.-Four Years ago Lottie
Gross married. Her husband knew
that she had served a term in Moy-
amensing for shoplifting. but she
promised him-and she meant it.
that she would never steal again. And
then the baby came. Il wanted pref
ty things for her" said Lottie. And
SO went back to the old game. If
couldn't quit for the best man in
the world I guess never can quit.
Stealing is like disease-except that
1t cant be cured"
That's about what the detectives
think. Once man or woman gets
well started at stealing and he or
she is a thief for life.
The big stores lose more by am
ateur shoplifters than by profession
ais said ID. J. Better, manager for

trifing thing. that catches her eye
and gets away with It. Then she
comes back-and keeps on coming

a kleptomaniac. Most kleptomaniacs
are just thieves. They get started to

Her husband is captain Of lake

She has been professional thief for
years, and now has a prison record.
Mind you. she has no criminal as
sociates. ! do not suppose she knows
another thief to speak to. though she
may know them by sight She has
nothing to do with other crooks. She
just steals. She travels most of the
time, living at good hotels. She is a
kindly, placid, pleasant woman of mid
die age-and a professional thief.
Like all the others. she began as an
amateur.
