"Despite every precaution taken here and abroad to spot them, not more than 10 per cent are caught with the goods. There seems to be no limit to the devilish Ingenuity employed by these I was going to say gentry but there are quite as uiuny women in the business as men. "It Is really wonderful, when you come to think of It, that wo are ever able to make a good haul when you consider how easily diamonds enn bo concealed. Hollow heels are u favorite receptacle for the precious stones, and I understand that there are places In Luropc where you can buy shoes spe cially constructed with spaces In tho heels. "I remember one woman she is Ht 111 In the business who displayed great In genuity in smuggling diamonds. It l was only by chance that wo caught her at one of her tricks. She arrived with a very striking Paris bonnet, which was ornamented with bunches of pipes. While we wore examining her iiiggage this dream of a hat blew off Ami was smashed by a passing truck. t rushed gallantly to recover the hat and then saw that each of the grupes clntalucd a diamond or precious stone. SLe got what was left of the hat, but nothing more. What can a man of ordinary per-. coition do with such people?
