THE BRIDES GIFTS

Thanks. good friend. for thy much
goodness.
XX/HETHER bride receives one
w present or several hundred, she
must write personal acknowledgment
for each, and this must always take
the form of cordial note and must
never be couched in formal or stereo-
typed phrases. This task of writing
gratitude letters must never be dele
gated to another person, save in the
case of illness, when sister or other
relative or close friend may write notes
by way of acknowledgment and even
then the bride should. if possible write
Il personal note of gratitude as soon
as she Is able to do so. The ac-
acknowledgements should never be by the
bridegroom.
There is growing feeling against
the present custom of lavish gift Civ
ing at weddings. 1t is not infrequently
something of an embarrassment to the
guests who feel that they must give
expensive presents, and quite as en-
barrassing to the brides, who. if they

household articles, silver, bric-a- -brac,

that are more of u burden than sat

avoid receiving collection of pres
ents is not to have a large wedding.
The custom of having room set
aside at the time of the wedding, and
there having the gifts displayed with
the cards of the givers attached, has
come in for considerable criticism. 1t
might prove embarrassing to the guest
whose offering was very small 10 see
it tagged beside the far more costly
present of some one else whose real af-
fection for the bride was considerably
less than his own. If you do have
the gifts on view, do not have them
tagged. Many persons prefer not to
have this sort of exhibition at all, but
day or so before the wedding to ask
very close friends in to see the pres
ents.

MINNIE

THE simple little name Of Minnie
L has n most devious history. 1t or
ignated away back in Teutonic myth
ology, where. according to the story,
when creation began, the cow An
dumbla licked out of the stones man
named Bur who was the grandfather
of three primeval gods, Odin, Will and
We, and It was these three who gave
life to the first pair of human beings.
Will was the Will of man. His name
echoes down through the ages of
Morse mythology in various combina-
tions, which SAVIOR boldly of Valhall
and prefaces many other names.
The Frank Queen Bilichilde was
really Willihilda, meaning resolute
battle. Her name was popular among
Morse maidens and even had vogue in
Teutonic countries. Wilhelm was
"made In Germany" and signitied res
olute helmet" The feminine counter
pnrt Of this name was Wilhelmina.
Always popular in Germany, it was
adopted by England and penetrated
Holland, where the most famous mod
ern woman who bears the name Is
Queen Wilhelmina, beloved of the
Dutch.
England found the name trif1e
cumbersome in spite of its regality
and 1t gradually changed under Brit
ish influence to Wilmet, Wilmot, Nina
and finally the popular diminutive Min

that made him tremble with fear.
1t did not take him second to run
out of the house, for Jack knew the

swapping Of the new fire in the
kitchen stove. He had been so intent
upon doing mischief that he had over

Entrance to the Paris Home of the
Banker-Burglar.

limit, and they apparently decided to take
the risk.
A week ago a seedy-looking man named
Brochat, down at heels and wearing a
rusty green coat, walked into the post
office in the Rue st. Denis, quite near
the Care du Nord, and presented a series
of high value bonds which had apparently
reached maturity, and asked for them to
be paid over the counter to him. The
postal clerk, who had been warned by his
superors to be careful, told Brochat to
wait while he got the necessary money
from the safe and took the bonds away
to the postmaster for careful examination
with a magnifying glass. This at once re-
vealed the fact that they had been tam
pered with and the numbers forged so
that they could not be identified as stolen.
Brochat was at once arrested. When
this shabby-looking old man was taken to
the central police department of Paris,
the chiefs of the detective department at
once realized that this was only another
Of the creatures Of the "master mind,'
and that they had yet another chance of
getting higher up the scale, and perhaps,
even finding one of the great heads of
the international Crimes Co., Ltd
Brochat, like all the other of the small
Ter fry arrested, was very reticent. He
was scared to death of duplicating his
superior Questioned as to how he had
got hold of the bonds he told an absurd
story Of having bought them off a market
woman of the Rue St. Denis. He gave,
however, chapter and verse for this ac-
count, and for a week detectives were
busy Investigating it, and finally 1t was
found, ~ ". ally Cnoygh, to be quite un-
true. On Brochat, when he was arrested,
the police found dirty thumbed note
book, on several pages of which appeared
a series of numbers which apparently rep
resented a hidden cipher This was
handed to experts, and finally they man
aged to decipher its meaning and re-
wrote a number of simple sentences,
without any apparent meaning beyond
the fact that the name Genser appeared
quite number of times.
Genser was a man who was known to
the police and who had been suspected
by them for some time. He was not at
once arrested, but was secretly watched.
Il was found that every day he was in
the habit of going to a well-known res
taurant in the Rue de la Bourse, next to
the Paris Bourse, or Stock Exchange.
The Washington times., 1922-11-12

Paris with a powerful head, well known IN
society, who not only indicated and pre-
pared the most profitable "jobs," but
who invariably got possession of the pro-
ceeds of the thefts and divided them.
At the time of the post office robbery
in the Rue Vauvcnargues there were evil
dcnccs of preparation beyond the re-
sources of ordinary criminals The thieves
had taken in false name the six months
lease of a vacant flat in the big block OF
tenement buildings next 10 the post office.
This gave them the right to one OF the
coal cellars of the house. After the new
family had been installed few weeks,
they asked the porter of the building the
right to change their cellar for another
which they said would suit them better.
The real reason, il was subsequently
found, was that the second cellar pene-
trated under the post office. Then, dur
ing the Saturday afternoon when the post
office was closed, they cut through about
eight feet Of hfickwork and masonry,
using a pneumatic drill and reached tia
post office. They found. as they knew
they would two huge steel safes, secured
by safety locks and boltcd to the walls of
the building All Sunday they worked
on these. first cutting them away from
the walls and then surrounding them with
blankets and blowing the locks open with
dynamite cartridges. They carried away
only money and bonds of the highest
class
When the police were called on Monday
morning they found not the slightest
trace by which they could identify the
criminals. The tenants had left appar-
emily on the previous Friday, and in the
post office itself they discovered only one
clue--a womans filmy lace handkerchief.
There were no ,fingerprintss of any kind,

aged to sell a number of the stolen post
office bonds after their numbers had
been adroitly changed. This man went
to prison, but would not say word, even
after three days of "third degree" It
was found out for certain that he could
not have been concerned in the actual,
robbery, and, moreover, that it was not
he who had tampered with the numbers
on the bonds. That was done by a man
thoroughly expert in banking practice.
But beyond that there was, once more,
that impenetrable secret which had baf-
fled the French police at just that point
on so many previous occasions. The man
arrested at Marseilles went to prison, but
nothing, could unlock his lips. The full
facts OF the case were, naturally, sent to
Paris to M. Faralicq and to other heads
OF the Paris police, and they were studied
for many long hour, together with all
the other cases which had come to Just
such an abrupt conclusion, and apparently
it was decided that nothing more could be
done.
1t was thought that the receivers, who
had, of course, heard of the arrest of
their man at Marseilles, would adopt their
usual prudent policy, and either send the
rest of the bonds out of the country, or
else keep them for couple of years un-
til suspicion had died down. But il would
seem that the Baron and his leading asso-
ciates were short of money. Unfortunate
stock exchange operations on great
scale, and especially unwise adventures in
foreign exchange values, seem to have
brought the big Four" as they were
sometimes also called by the police, who
believe that there are three others be-
sides the Baron de Reith, very near their
The Washington times., 1922-11-12
During Banking Reh Seated His Desk and
of Banker and Broker at His
Office, in the Rue Alphonse de Neuvlle.

1t is a restaurant where the greatest
leaders of European finance gather, and
it has figured prominently in famous
novels.
The police noticed that Genser always
sat at certain table in the restaurant.
Just on the opposite side of the restau-
rant always sat the distinguished Baron
de Reith, either alone or with some of his
associates in finance.
Several days of surveillance showed
that whenever Genser rose and went to
the telephone or to wash his hands, the
Baron de Reith did the same thing. Could
there be any connection between the vul-
gar Genscr ana the distinguished Baron,
aristocrat and fnancicr?
One of the detectives disguised himself
as a waiter and sccretcd himself in the
lavatory. On two occasions he. heard the
Baron and NJ. Genscr in the closest con-
versation, and heard them fixing up APP
pointments at the Baron's house in the
Rue Alphonse de Neuville, which by
strange coincidence is just next door to
that once inhabited by the great political
adventurer, Joseph Caillaux, who is also
financier in addition to his other ac-
tivities.
At last it seemed that the police were
reaching the centre of the labyrinth and
that they were very near the secret. 1t
was planned that large force of police,
under the most experienced detectives,
should arrest Gcnser, and then, having
seized his papers, should invade the house
of the Baron.
Before the police could put these plans
into execution, however, fresh events
came to light which went to strengthen
their conviction that at last they had been
lucky enough to get on the right track.
The beautiful motor car which belonged
to Mile. Parisys, the pretty young dane
ing girl whose semi-nude performances
have made her famous, was stolen.
Two shabby looking men came to Mile.
Parisys and told her that they could show
her how she could recover her car If she
would promise to protect them against
prosecution. She was at first afraid to
have anything to do with them, but they
assured her that they admired her art,
were sorry they had stolen her car and
had only done it because they were driven
to it by master.
"Then why are you telling about it
now" asked the actress.
Because we have not received the $500
he promised us for this coup, and we are
starving" answered the criminals.
The actress was intensely anxious to
recover this car. She promised to ask
immunity for them from the police and
then obtained their information.
eve took the car to the swell garage
in the Rue Desrenaudes," they said. "Let
