GIRL CHARGED WITH
TAKING PINK DRESS
Women Detectives Declare
Miss Aston of Babylon. L. l.,
Threw Tt in Basket.

A fury of women is the prin ncipal
feature lacking in the case of Miss Flor
ence Allston Of babylon, i. l., whose
trial on the charge OF haying stolen a
pink georgette crepe dinner dress was
begun in the Court Of General Sessions
yesterday, with Assistant District Attor-
ney Rose Rothenberg prosecuting for the
people and two women detectives from
a Fifth avenue store as the States star
witnesses.
Miss Allston, who is 2S years OLD,
would be as fitting an ornament 10 the
dinner dress as it would be to her IL
she were to wear it In court, but no
one will ever wear 1t now for, as the
detectives testified, it was found IN a
rubbish basket in the store just after
they arrested Miss Allston, in state
which precluded its ever being worn
again. either at a formal dinner or at
informal dish washing. The dress was
to have been sold for s125, so that il
Miss Allston is convicted of having
taken il she will come within the con-
temptation of the statute which makes
a felony of the theft of anything OF the
value of more than $50.
1t was while testifying for the prose
cution that one of the store detectives
Miss Florence Mullins brought out the
distinction as the law sees 1t between
$50 and more than $50.
After we found the dress She said
"the lady having told us where she had
thrown 1t, she gave us a line OF talk
BE good scout she says. and shade
the price down below $50 so that I car
go to the bat in Special Sessions"
Miss Anna Casichini, the other de
tective. was the other main witness yes
terday, corroborating Miss Mullins dr
every important particular and explain
ing to the jury little OF the technique
which makes women store detectives sc
formidable and their services invaluable
"After we had searched Miss Allston,
she explained, 1--WE said nothing and she
began TO talk. Then we said nothing
again and she talked harder than ever.
Miss Allston will be her own chic
witness to-day, and will be followed b,
other witnesses who will support he
story that she never saw the pink dres
until the detectives hauled It out of !
basket and showed 1t to her. and tina
she told them instantly on laying eye
on 1t that far from having stolen 1t, sh
wouldn't wear 1t as a gift.

Recall the Qualities
For Which 1t Is Known

Each year has seen the emphasis of
some new quality in the Hudson Super
Six. Six years ago, When new, it was
the IL per cent greater horsepower with
out increase of motor size or sacrifice of
simplicity that attracted.
Some thought such power would prove
destructive, and so many famous tests
were made to prove endurance.
Every one recalls how Hudson stock cars
made new records for speed. Among
them 1919 miles in "a hours.
and return in 10 days Fl hours remains
unmatched though numerous attempts
have since been made by others.
, 1921-11-08

Only within the Hudson organization
wa such development possible. Its en-
gineers, for the most part, the same per-
sonnet responsible for all previous Hud-
sons, have had u~nequalled opportunities.
Every car built in those years became a
guide to future advancement. Every en-
durance test revealed new ways to i'm.
provement. Every model suggested a
simpler, more beautiful car. The expe-
rience of every owner was an influence
toward perfection.
1t created new standards of beauty.
Each body type is famous for good looks
and The completeness of every detail.
