She refused to allow him to walk with her and he then followed her.
 Police Captain Twomey was notified of the mans actions and he at once put Officer Driscoll at work on the case, The young lady gave a very good description of the man and fur nished with this description Officer Driscoll set out to round him up.

 ANTIQUES LN LONDON.
They Are Getting Real Antiques At a
 Reduced Price.

London, Oct. 30-Bond street deal- CTS in antique, and sham antique" furniture declare that the war-lull in local trade has been more than offset by American buying.

It is said that people of moder- ate means are perfectly content to have things that look like the more valuable article at a correspondingly cheap figure.
 We are getting Americans now" one dealer is quoted as saying, 'but there is not so much to be made out of them. They know what they want, and what is more they know the price they want to pay" 4 .s.a
