Souvenir hunters are always nu-
merous In washington and usually
attract little attention. but G
young man who was among those
transferring from a Pennsylvania
avenue car to a Seventh street ear
on Friday morning was so out of
the ordinary that he attracted con-
siderable attention from his fellow
passengers.
As the car approached the trans.
fer point the young man recognized
young woman who. apparently,
works in the SAME office with HIM.
They stood chatting 'as the car
stopped and as they moved forward
with the crowd the young woman
dropped a pretty little handker-
chief. nicely embroidered. Neither
saw II, but a man close by did, and
picked 1t up. BY that time the
young woman was half way across
the street and so the piece of linen
was handed to her companion with
the remark that 1T had been
dropped in the car.
Those witnessing the incident ex-
pected to see the man hand the
handkerchief to its owner when he
caught up with her. but they were
mistaken, for he carefully placed
1t in his pocket. making sure that
she was not observing his action.
Now the witnesses are wondering
