you have heard of It.
This young woman Wrth the dimple Is Miss May Hopkins.
She wna one of the original " Ftorodora, " girls. At that

In the hOTildor. If you search the verses of poetry you will
find " her dimpled shoulder " of quite frequent occurrence.
It is spoken of as lightly as If It were a dimpled chirt or a dim

are few dimpled shoulders. When you find thetrt they almost

Shoulder Dimple Rare and Stdullful. .
Bui Miss ilopklHs, who is a tall, slender girl, has tt toveiy
shouler dimple, toil can see It across the room, and when
she Is In decollet she manages to arrange her lace draperies
so that the dimple In the shoulder will surely show. When
she is drwel In A shirt waist you can feel the dimple by
simply pressing your fingers upon her shoulder.
" A shoulder dimple Is as rare as It la beautiful," said an
artist. " It Is one of .the marks of a perfect neck. True, the
canons of pure art do not call for It. Neither do they call
for dimpled cheeks nor for a dimpled chin. But art some
times falls short of the requirements and the admirations of

everyday life, also of Its fads, and the dimpled shoulder Is
one instance."
A dimpled shoukler is one of the attributes of chiildhood.
It makes a Rirl look babyish. One expects to find the 4 year
old girl with a dimpled shoulder and with dimpled knuckles.
But one Is not on the lookout for anything of that kind where
grown up folks are concerned. And that Is why this dimple
is so noticeable.
Sleeps Late to Heighten Beauty.
This pretty girl of the studios is particular as to her
methods of life. She wants always to be as pretty as she
Is now, and alie is of the opinion that she can keep hbritelf so
by trying hard.
"I have never tried the trick of early rising," says she;
because 1 iove to sleep In the morning. Btit when I do gelt
up I am Up1 for all day, and from ttiorhlhg until night I go
through with the process which the Americans call hustling.
" 1 belleVe Iri a contented mlhd. Contentment will bring
dimples whert discontent will dVlve them away. The mind
that Is calm and tranquil will be mirrored In a face that Is
smooth and lovely. There ought to be a book written with
nothing In tt but rules for keeping oalm. Here are Just a
tew of thehi:
" toh't riM th debt If you wan to keep calm and pretty.
Save your money and you will be happy. Never spend more
than you make. Do not, Whatever elite you do, spend It all.
" Here Is my own rule for keeping happy all day: Get up
happy. If j-ou want your checks to wear dlmplea and your
brow to wear a smile, get up happy and smile from morning
till night.
" I cannot get up happy If t ahi awakened In the morning.
So 1 sie-p late. What would I do if I had to rise early? I
woukl go to bed early, just so as to get fully sltipt out

to get up. That Is one of the best rules In the world for
keeping your dimples. Sleep a plenty.
Dimple Rule No. 1 Don't Eat Too Much.
"Here is another dimple rule: Don't oa.t too mdoft. t
take a light breakfast and a Still lighter lunch. It IS better
not to eat anything at nil at noon. Coffee, If you want It, at
breakfast and a roll ought to be enough. This, with pleirty of
good, sweet butter, ought to last one's stomach tt long time.
' Heavy meat breakfasts may be all well. But give me
something light In the morning if 1 am going to be light in
my spirits during the day and dimpled as to my cheek.
" As to the dimple in my shoulder? O. that Is another
story. It is a thing with which I would not want to experi
ment too much, for fear It might go away. 1 would hot like
to eat heavy meals and to stuff with rich foods, and to take
all sorts of pastries and gravies. If I did the dimple In my
shoulder might disappear' beneath the mounds of fad, and
I might have no complexion at all.
" I am sometimes asked why working girls are prettier
than other girls. Society girls are Well groomed, and that
makes them pretty in a way. But they are tint half as at
tractive as the shop girls, the artists' models, ahd the chorus
girls. Shop girls are nearly always pretty.
" The reason Is that the shop giri does hot eat So much.
She eats all she wants and ail she needs. But she does not
have whole afternoons for luncheons: She does hot go to
table d'hote dinners; she seldom has a Whole box Of candy,
and she cannot munch fruit and cake all day. She must work
and she Is not allowed to eat while at her task.

iALTIMORB society has a girl footpad. She has
robbed five men In two months and afterwards
returned their property. They meet her In
Society three ot four evenings a week, and yet
they are uhable to Identify ber. The Ave men
kttow that they have been the victims of some
huge hoax; but although they willingly would
give a thousand dollars apleco to discover the
Identity bf the girl who held a revolver to their heads while
she robbei them, so far they have been unable to do so.
The five robberies were not reported to the police; hor
have the newspapers printed a line about them. It was
bnly through a letter written by one of the victims to ft Chi
cago friend that the facts are known hero.
The first man to be robbed was a wealthy corporation
attorney. He was on a social errand that took him through
a quiet, well lighted street In the most fashionable quarter
bf the city. It was a few minutes after midnight and he had
Spent the evening at a reception at a gret Baltimore man
sion. Suddenly a young woman stepped from behind some
shrubbery, by ft quick motion leveled a shining revolver at his
bead, and In 4 quiet voice, steel like In itr inclslveness, or
dered:. " Hands up, please."
Girl Bandit Escapes In Carriage.
The attorney wus so surprised that his hands went tip
above his head, almost Involuntarily. Then, with the tnurile
of the revolver looming large before his eyes, he felt his
overcoat torn violently open. With the dtft movements of
the practiced hand of a highwayman the girl took his gold
watch and diamond scarf pin. Then, warning him hot to
move, she backed away to the shrubbery near the curbstone,
keeping the revolver leveled menacingly at her astonished vic
tim's head. As she disappeared behind the shrubbery the
attorney sprang forward, hoping to catch her unawares. He
noticed then for the first time that a carriage had been
concealed behind the shrubbery, and he was chagrined to
see the young woman bandit spring through the open door
of the vehicle, while at the same Instant the coachman
lashed the horses and they wheeled away at a gallop.
The attorney's first thqUght was to proceed Instantly to
the police station and report the robbery. Then the thought
occurred to him that he would be the laughing stock of his
friends If they discovered that he had been robbed In so
startling a manner by a woman.
With this thought In his mind he resolved to await de
velopments. His watch Was engraved with his monogram,
not only on the case but on the works, and he knew that it
could not be sold or pawned without the police being able
to trace It. The diamond scarf pin he was not so sure of.
Asked to Redeem Jewelry.
The attorney went to his apartments be Is a bachelor.
He was met by his man, who handed him ft letter which had
been left by a messenger with the injunction that It was to bo
hahded him the moment he returned home. The envelope
was of the approved fashionable tint and shupe, and the "note
Inside bore the faint. Indefinable perfume that told unerringly
Of refinement. The note read:
' Mr. : If you care to redeem your watch and scarf
pin without creating ft scandal, send a gold bangle engraved
With your name and this date which, doubtless, will be ft
memorable one to you to the general postomce addressed to
" Cash K.
I " P. 8. Of course, It you are ft gentleman you will make
no effort to Identify ' Cash K.' tt the postofflc. If you ftre
sordid and unromantlc enough not to care for the adventure.
why, remain silent, and your property will bo teturned td
you without further ado. K."
The attorney smiled to himself, it wa easy enough, he
thought, tO send a gold bangle with his name engraved upon
it to " Cash K." and It would be easy enough, he thought,
also, to place the whole matter In the hands ot ft postofflce
lrtsbector. But the postscript puizled him It placed him, td
Hn extent, upon his honor as a gentleman. Besides, there
was a hint at an adventure. He sent the bangle and in two
days his watch and scarf pin were left at his apartments by
ft letter carrier.
Young Physician Is Held Up.
A week later a prominent young phyxlclan called at the
attorney's downtown'ofllae. Closing the door of the private
room, the physician said with some trepldat'on:
" Henry, I've been robbed!"
" Burglars?" asked the attorney.
" No, worse than that," groaned the physician.
" Perhaps you bought a gold brick of tt Junk dealer?"
" No, by a fopad."
" What did she take?" asked the attorney queerly.
" I dldrt't say she," retorted the physician. " How did you
guesS It?". , '
" And Bftpr she had robbed you, she sprang Into a carriage
and drOve away," continued the attorney, with an amused
femlle oh bis face. ,
The physician continued to stare at his legal friend, who
went on:
" Tou decided not to report the facts to the police for fear
(he newspapers would print them and make you the laughing
stock of all your friends. So you weht 'home and found ft
letter waiting you."
" Yes, yes." eagerly assented the young physician.
" Well, my advice to you Is to send the bangle."
"How do you know the letter asked for a gold bangle
with my eame and date engraved hpdn It?"
" Well," responded the lawyer, dryly, " t redeemed thy
watch and scarf pin with the same kind of a ferthgle."
The two friends decided to say nothing, but to wait Irt the
hope that somehow and somewhere they would find the clew
to the mystery.
Insurance Man Third Victim.
Another week west by, and one evening at the billiard
room of the club a wealthy Insurance man casually asked
the attorney for a elgaret. The attorney banded out his case,
remarking:
"Certainly, old man; but how Is It you haven't that gun
metal elgaret case? I never knew you to be without It."
The Insurance man turned red, snd the attorney laughed.
"Haven't you decided to redeem It with ft bangle?" he
asked.
The insurance man confessed that he, too, had been way
laid and robbed by a young woman, apparently the same one.
Within a fortnight two more victims to the young woman
band't had been added to the list. Then the Ave men called
uport a shrewd old detective, who listened to their stories, one
at a time. When each had finished his narrative the old de
tective, who had not taken any notes, told them that beyond,
question they had been honored by some daring young wom
an of their own acquaintance probabjy of their own social
circle.
"In the first place." he Said, "the young woman's motive
clearly was not plunder, for In each case she returned the
property she took from you. Tou all agree that she took no
money. In your case," turning to ft wealthy diamond Im
porter, "she opened your pocketbook, suw several thousand
dollars In bills, but Immediately returned It to your overcoat
pocket, With ft gasp of surprise, contenting herself with ft
silver match bo and your watch, both of which she rernrned
to you by registered mntl.
Each Man Lured to Spoh
"In the next place," continued the old detective, "each
robbery has one distinguishing characteristic. Each of you
was sent on some errand out of the ordinary and in each
case you went on the errand In response to the request of
some young woman you met at a ball, or a dinner party, or
a dance. That Indicates that the robberies were all planned
In yoilr own social set and by one mind."
. The five victims stared at each other as the truth broke
in upon them.
" " By Jove, that's so," said the attorney. " When I was
robbed I had Just escorted Miss to her home. I remem
ber now I thought at the time it was strange that she in
sisted on walking, for the night was keen and I saw hor car
riage near the curb as we left the house. I walked with her
to the door, then started back, and five minutes later I was
held up."
teach of the other four remembered that they bad been
sent on errands equally trivial.
" I cainnot tell you the name of the young woman who
has hoaxed you," said the detective, in conclusion, " hut whprf
you find a girl with a bangle attached to her bracelet my ad
vice to you Is to examine the bangle. One of you may find
his name on It."
The five friends agreed to keep their secret and to Wait
and watch.
Then one night at a governor's reception at Annapolis ft
young woman dropped a bracelet. She stooped for it. hut ft
haval officer, who happened to be her escort for the moment,
picked It tip.
" What a collection of bangles!" he said, as he examined
them closely. "Ah, 1 see.1' he said, with a laugh, "this bhe
has a name, and so has this, and this Why, I know
Dr. ."
"the yoiing woman clearly was annoytd, but she slipped
the bracelet over her wrist without offering any Explanation,
and the naval officer did not dare pursue the subject further.
tttd dirli at Least in Hm.
tt was perhaps rihl by Hefcldeht that the ilelitettaht Hifl
te physician thhext day In Baltimore, ahd told him. In
cidentally, of the girl and the bracelet with the bungie. the
physician hastily summoned his friends ahd told them of tHtt
clew.
Two or three evenings later the same young woman wit!
at a reception In Baltimore. Bhe wore ft hraeelel, but hd
bangle; another young woman, however, did have ft tlbfioh
attached to her fan, and on the ribbon were the five bangles!
This proved to the five victims of the hoax that thers
Were two girls, at least, In the secret. They did hot dare
accuse ejther one of them, for they all agreed that they had
beeii he'ld up and robbed by one girl. '
Evening after evening the five hiert kept wftlch. ahd earli
evening the mystery grew deeper. Biwnetlme the five ban
gles would appear, one wrn as an ornament iff five different
girls. Sometimes one girl would wear two bangles and an
' other three, and then all five would appear Irt the possession1
of an entirely different girl.
So far the five Baltimore mrrt have fllsoOVerM tturtf-ert
young women who are concerned In the secret of the bangle.
Which one of the fourteen robbed them? They cannot flpd
out, but they are certain the fair bandit in one of three. All I
three are Vajwar girls, all three are credited with the rtd.ulslt
daring nd pluck. But which one of the three is It?
