Women who are the soul of rectitude ta all other things will not hesitate to svade the law when It comes to sraug- jllng. For some reason or other they lo not consider smuggling dishonest , hut rather as an exciting sort of game to play. Every woman who goes to Europe spends hours of her preparation to return in devising means of bringing things in without paying duty. Men are much more honest about the things they bring In , and not long ago [ heard of a case in which a man hu mored this smuggling tendency in his laughter , but took good care that she should not be discovered evading the law. law.His daughter had purchased a valua ble diamond necklace In London and announced her determination to bring it in without paying one penny of duty. There was no reason in the world why she should have chosen to do this , as her father was a very rich m and could have paid the duty wltbo. not ing its absence from his bank account. But she wanted the excitement , and tier father agreed to let her bave her awn way. She brought the necklace in In d small brg. which her father asked her to let him hold for a moment or two , and it was not for nearly a year that she found out her father had de clared the orur.ment and pnid the drty on it At any rate , she hail had her t New York Foist , ls has tii _ assurance tl at h's il.f'e csnmt le i utn. litre Is alsoluu / 1.0 picssicr' . i fc.Tl.\ .
