your daughter will go to Jail and we
will kick you out" - -
Margaret Drury was frantic. She
blamed herself that the girl had not
enjoyed the happiness to which her
youth entitled her., r. i,
Desperately promising, pleading,
begging, Margaret Drury spent Sum
day, the one day allowed her to make
restitution. And in pity her friends
helped her out to the last cent they
had and some of them have not re-
ceived any of their money back yet.
But Winifred was saved from
prison-Margaret still retained her
So job at The Fair, and The Fair had
really lost nothing.
Finally, Winifred wired her mother
from Brooklyn and Margaret Drury
begged her to come back.
She came and secured a position
with Wieboldt' s-stin handling cash.
And Winifred was frightened but not
chastened. 1t is difficult problem to
make gay youth as firm in principle
as drab age.
From Wieboldt's, Winifred went to
the Boston Store. She still handled
money! proud, foolish, vain girl,
always fighting the temptation to
have a swell time as other girls
did-and to dress as they dressed
She would not admit that she stole
the money from The Fair. But she
stole $110 from the Boston Store.
The same policy was adopted with
the mother.
PAY up or your girl will go to jail
and Wen send you to the dogs"
1t is strange how much a mother
can endure and still remain sane.
Margaret Drury pleaded for time and
pledged her word that the money
would be made good, eff they would
just leave Wfnifred alone" And she
went around again, pleading, pray

vague reports of the girl being seen
here and there, always where the
lights ar brightest and the laughter
rings loudest.
Winifred, in her own way of rea-,
soning, was getting some good of the
money. She bought pretty clothes,
had plenty to eat and took every
pleasure that came her way.
Yet she did not go wrong morally.
1t is. tragic thing to watch how reck-
lessly girls will approach the flame,
and yet draw back unscathed.
The money did not last and Mar
garet Drury learned that, Winifred
was working at Wieboldt's again
still handling cash.
! 1t was Fair detective who dis
covered her there and he watched
her. He had a sufficient knowledge
of human nature to understand that
stealing had become easy to the girl
now-her, success. had intoxicated
her; it was only question of a short
wait and she would be caught again.
She was, and it was a Fair detec-
tive into whose arms she ran as she
came out of Wieboldt's store at half
past ten in the morning, with $115
hidden away in her stocking.
She was taken back to the store
the money found, and Winifred sent
to Jail. And Margaret Drury, the
mother, fearful that The Boston
Store might now press its charge for
the balance due them, got the money
to entirely pay off that obligation.
She owed 1926 altogether by this
time.
The curious thing about this is the
manner in which the newspapers
handled the case at that time. Far be
it from them to treat it from it's
economic standpoint of a girl receiv-
ing starvation wages and handling
hundreds of dollars a day,
They roamed away from sordid
facts into the field of airy romance.

for check for his dog. The bag
