ALL kinds of terrible things seem to be
n "A happening these days. One would
think that after having gone to a ball
y and having returned home in a limousine
IN the small hours of the morning 1t
would be perfectly safe to step into ones
4 home and quietly retire to bed, but one
girl heard of recently had no such quiet
, little experience. She had been to a late
Dall, and on reaching home dismissed the
ehauneur, and, turning to enter the
! house, found the front door open. As
ishe walked in, behold, a man climbed
out Of the back window right before her
\ eyes! 1t makes one stop to think, can
tell you, and should be warning never
70 let the chauffeur leave until he has
y opened the door and seen that all is safe
inside. NANCY wYNNE.
