 Finally a man crawled through. He doffed his silk hat.

Even then the fashionably gown ed women patrons wearing jewels and their male escorts attired in tuxedos, wern't sure. But as one of the sophisticated young strangers made q grab for flask uncertainty turned to positiveness.
 Another flask. propelled by some- ones foot went skidding across the floor. So did another. And another.
 A gentleman, who said he was a banker, found them piled under his table. They didn't belong to him. he protested, because he had just dis posed of his.
 Patrons were not molested but the raiders seized a card index of more than 1000 gold coast residents. The orchestra played an exit march as the cashier, Cy Seidel. and waiter. walked out with one of the strang- CTS clinging to their arms.
