Of course. there is the clumsy thiet with very limited brain, who smashes the jeweler's window with half a brick oping to be able to déecamp with a handful of jewels ere passers-by and the jeweler's assistants have recover- ed from their surprise. The up-to- date jeweler, however, checkmates the window-smasher by hanging an extrs plate of glass from the ceiling by chains just inside the window A The force of the brick might break ths outside glass, but it would be checked by the inner plate, and, even if it did break the latter, the thiel would have two jagged holes to put his hand through--a difficult job to manage successfully, 4 And then there is the equally clumsy thief who enters a jeweler's shop, ostensibly to purchase jewels, and endeavors to bolt with a number which he snatches off- the counter, quite forgetting that there are such things as automatic closing doors, and that, while one assistant is serving there are usually one or two others séemingly deeply engaged in various work connected with the shop, but in reality standing in close proximity to the door, and ready to circumvent any such trickery. The clever jewelry thief, however, adopts quite different tactics. Take for' instance, the man v'.0 a short time ago, became known as a regular, if not a very wealthy, qustomer at a West End (London) jeweler's.. He frequently made small purchases, and admired at the same time the more costly jewels displayed in the cases on the counter. Ope day he asked to look more closely at a certain dia- mond necklace which he had previous- ly admired, and the obliging jeweler took it out of the case to show ®im. | After duly praising it, the custom. | er handed it back and the jeweler would have teken no further note of the incident had he not happened to notice that the necklace had attached: to it a tag of buff color. All goods in the shop bore white tags and he im- mediately surmised that something was wrong. The man was detained and search revealed that he had the original mecklace while * the other i handed back to the jeweler was an imitation. It appeared that during the several vigits paid by the customer he had made a close study of the necklace as it lay in the case taking in th: min. | utest details and frons memory had an imitation made from paste diamonds, correct enough in every particular to deceive almost anyone; and this he had c.changed for the real neck- lace while admiring it. Had he not made the small mistake of attaching | to it a wrong-colored tag the jeweler might still be bemoaning &he loss of a $2,500 necklace, . This phluing of real jewels and handing back imitations is a favorite game with jewelry thieves, and only by the greatest care can loss at their hands be prevented. An elaboration of this trick has, by the way, been tried vert successfully both in London and in New York. A smartly-dressed woman ith a pretty child--usually a girl--drives up to a fashionable jewel: er's and asks to inspect a selection of stones. Naturally the child displays a certain curiosity, which is appar. ently checked by the lady, who fre- quently 'admonished the youngster with words: "No, darling; you must not touch these things. eep your away." The child seems so innocent of wrongdoing that the jeweler suspects nothing, and perhaps eng the child in conversation, and it is while 60 doing thet he offers the lady an opportunity for substituti some paste stones for the real. , if a chance occurs, the lady will detract the jeweler's attention from the child for a moment and allow the precocious youngster, who, of course, has been trained for the part, to effect a sub- stitution of the imitation for the real. And then there is the old dodge, still worked very successfully, of af- fixing a piece of cobbler's wax in the hollow heel of a boot, accidentally knocking off a ring or so from counter, treading on it, and after sub. ' mitting to a search by the suspicious. jeweler and threatening all sorts of al Proc edings for indignity, walk- ing out with the spoils, worth per- haps $200 or $300. he half-eaten apple scheme is also an old one, but even now is worked successfully.

In this way it will be 'easy to get the new cover in its right position. Cut each section from the old one, allowing a trifle more for seams if the have been cut. Baste carefully, fit to the frame, then sew the seams firmly, and the cover is rédady for its ! embroidery or further decoration. This may be done before mounting or after the cover is firmly tacked fo the frame. When a design is detached each section can be worked before the panels are basted together.

An ef- fective parasol of white pongee has bunches of wild carrot worked in the panels. Two sizes of sprays are used, a bold one in every alternate panel, with a single flower on the others. The flower panicles are worked in French knot in heavy Roman floss, the foliage done in slanting satin stitch, ' ' A parasol of pale gray linen was given a fine inch border of deep rose sewed on the outside of parasol.

Harmonize the two sections by a conventional de- sign worked in self tones.' A violet linen cover could have a deep purple border and vines of clematis worked in purple shades. Wanted Silk Hats Abolished. Some years ago an attempt was made by certain members of the mu- nicipal council of Courteunil, France, fo. make the wearing of a top hat il: legal, the grounds set forth for the measure being that the sight of a silk hat is: a humiliation to those who cannot afford to wear one, that it is both unbeautiful and unnecessary as an article of attire and also, chiefly, suse it is worn mostly by aristo- crats who live by the sweat of the poor and militated against equality among citizens of the republic. A fine of b francs was the proposed penalty for wearing the condemned ar,' but the "topper" found friends at court, and the measure was rejegted. -------------- The Waiter Understood. They were lunching together, and the talk turned to superstition. "When you made that boast just now," said one of the party, "you should have knocked on wood to drive away the evil spirits that are envious of human happiness." "Is that what it's for?" "Yes. It's an old German custom. You rap on wood three times. Say, that waiter of ours looks like a Ger- man. Rap three times and see if he (doesn't understand it." : The other man rapped. The waiter understood it. He brought three beers. An"Old Banking House. . Child's Bank is one of the oldest private banks in London.

Another old custom still kept up is that of three junior partners and two salaried part- ners sleeping on the premises in rota. tion. Thus one of the partners is al- ways on hand if needed. i poh 3 Consoling.

And when the conven. tional old 'wiseacres got a new set made to fit the new situation some- body else came along and spoiled them all over again. "Suppose you have a job, where you don't need to think. Tradition has made it a rule that a man in that place shouldn't think. By and by you rise. If you'd stuck to that rule you'd stick in the nonthinking job.

"Oh, no," replied the other. "It only took 40 days to flood the world entirely." "Aye, aye," answered the man, "but the world was no' sae weel drained as it is now." Another. of his stories is: Revision sessions were proceeding, when from an adjoining eathedral the bells an. nounced the wedding of a prominent Unionist. The barrister (after listen- ing for a time) asked: "What is the meaning of all this ringing?' and the reply furfished wes: "It is only in honor of two Unionists embracing Home Rule." The Great Ice Age. It has been known during a long time that in western Europe man existed during the glacial epoch. We now know that the great ice age consisted of different glacial times separated by interglacial times. In glacial times the snow line dropped 8,000 feet or 4,000 feet below its pres- ent level in the Alps, whereas in in- tergincial periods it lay about 1,000 feet higher than at present. Thus the temperature seems to have been higher in the interglacial periods than it is now, y Burnt Aimends. Burnt almonds are a confection of purely French origin, owing their in- ception to the gluttony of a French merchant. One day, tradition has it, Marshal Duplessis-Pralin sent for Las- sagne, the inventor of many tooth. some dainties, and bade him concoct s new bonbon. Lassagne searched, re- flected, combined, until he finally hit upon the confection of burnt almonds, which were baptised with the name of the old gourmet, the French for burnt slmonds. Cause Enough.
