value of 5000 had been taken from
her department two days before.
There had been q rush at her counter
all day, mostly OF well-dressed wom-
en-. There had been scores and scores
of sales. There had been scores who
did not buy. The salesglrls must
not only handle the stock, but an
swer questions, record sales, keep
their eyes open and look upon every
customer with suspicion. and feel
that some one of those customers
might be a shoplifter, and there to
put the four in peril of losing their
places. Mr.. Nevins realized all this.
but he made no excuses for Miss
Grattan, nor permitted her to make
any for herself.
There is slacknes there or these
things could not happen" he said.
"a smart girl can tell shoplifter
half way across the store. II there
ia any more stealing from your coun-
ter l shall be obliged to transfer you
to the crockery department"
1Dere were lulcc bboic uStSStAVSo,
all noted for their smartness, and
vet they could not tell shoplifter
half way across the store" nor yet
ten feet away. Miss Grattan took 1t
rightly that she was marked down"
but she returned to her counter re-
solved to watch with more vigilance
than ever. In the big stores they do
not make the mistake Of watching
what may be called the common folks
TO the exclusion OF all others. What
the common folks take is called
stealing; what the wealthy take goes
under the head of kleptomania. Both
are watched alike.
Four days after the talk In the Of
fee. Miss Grattan had q customer for
high-priced lace She was young
woman of about twenty-five, who
had come in her auto, and she had a
full purse and bought literally and
took away her package. She was
watched, and yet ten minutes after
| she had gone a valuable piece OF lace
was missing. The most that could
be found out about her was that she
had frequently been in the store and
that she paid cash and never had her
purchases sent The loss had to be
| reported to Mr.. Nevins. He did not
