quietly at home. Slender, fairly tall,
the feminine sleuth long has been
conspicuous among the brawny six
foot detectives in the bomo squad.
Always plainly but smart!y dressed,
the young looking Mrs. Seaholm
has distinguished herself in several
famous cases.
Her first big case, which extracted
national prominence in 1912, was
the capture of eight bandits who
two months before had held up two
bank managers in Greenwich VII
lage, escaping with $4,000. She
recovered the money by securing
the confidence Of women COM
panions Of the hold.up men, all Of
whom were sent to Sing Sing. For
this work RhineIander Waldo, then
police commissioner, made her a
first-grade detective.
Twenty-eight years ago last May
a thin woman with a beautiful skin
and splendid teeth reported to the
Mercer street station for duty as
police matron. She was Mrs. lisa.
belle Goodwin, wife of roundsman
and mother of three children.
Within three months her husband
died and the young widow had to
support the family on her pay,
$1,000. She educated the three and
sent her daughter to a French con.
vent in Quebec. Neither home nor
children suffered from her work.
The first opportunity for Mrs.
Seaholm to distinguish herself came
when the police department was
flooded with letters complaining of
the practices of fortune teIlers

What Is filigree glass? This
question il often asked in stores
and remains unanswered almost as

a greater or less number of small

letter written from Rome by the
Able Barthelemy to the, Comte de
Cayius, the 25th OF December 1855
will prove interesting. It says in
part: II am especially pleased

color. with clusters Of white enamel
ranged inside perpendicularly around

Before explaining by what means
q vase or any other object may be
made Of many small isolated
tubes, 1t is indispensable first to
establish the difference between a
cane or simple rod and a filigree.
BY cane, the glassmakers Of
Murano designated a single thread
which, placed in the center OF
colorless glass. passed from the
base Of the vase to the upper part
or from the center to the circum,
ference; whilst the name OF filigree
was applied to the canes, which
having received a twist, have
usually a spiral direction. The
same glassmakers named this work
came ritorte twisted canes), or
ritorcimento (twisting).
To place thread of colored
glass inside colorless glass, the
workman begins by plunging his
blow-pipe into the pot containing
the colored glass; then he rolls
what he has taken out on q sheet
Of iron, called the marver, in order
to make 1t adhere to his pipe
whilst giving it the form Of q
small shaft of a column. When
sufficiently cool to present q Ger.
tain resistance, this colored glass
still adhering to the pipe, is
plunged into a spot containing the
colorless glass.
Taken out Of the pot and in its
turn rolled on the marver, this sec.
Ond glass, forming a transparent
covering for the former, becomes so
firmly attached to that together
