SOCIETY y r Jir Gilbert Suggests Assembly of "Best Family Babies" to Keep Social Stream Intact fP7p Found Women's Dress Smart, but Monotonous ImprcBaions of Philadelphia were re- ewrded by Sir Gilbert K. Chesterton and Mrs. Chesterton while chatting with friends at a luncheon party In the palm room of the Hcllcruc-Stratford during their recent visit here. Mrs. Chesterton, who kept heraclf In tho background during the visit, chatted blithely of Interesting things she had noted horo. Women'! dress wnH tho first thing to attract her attention. "Your American women arc smart dressers," she ventured. "They nre possibly ns a whole better dressed than any other onn nation of women. But to us there is n monotony in your styles that is nil American well -dressed women look as if they did not dare to original or distinctive. "As I saw New Yoilt women, their silhouettes wero nil alike. I've really een only two or three hats on women In America that were totally In dividual." Mr. Chesterton humbly confessed that women's dress was entirely out of Ms masculine metier, but seemed umused nt bis wife's comments. Falrmount Park proved of great in terest to the diitlngul'hcd visitors. Mrs. Chesterton was particularly en thusiastic despite ber confession that this time of tho year gave the Immense playground a bleak appearance. "Cen tral Park In Now York is really quite n poor place compared to your wonder ful park," she said. Mr. Chesterton expressed disappoint ment because his answer to the question. "Why nre women so llteral-mlndcd?" was not fully quoted in reports. He was credited with nmnvcrlne "because." but said his answer was' "Because God mndo thcui that way. Mrs. Chesterton, who acts ns private secretary for her husband, said she answers social and professional invita tions nt tho rate of from fifty to sixty a week and had arranged many details of their three-month Itinerary here.

"I should think Philadelphia would hold every year nn assembly of tho best family babies, commented Mr. Chester ton with his familiar chuckle "and then tho ocial stream would always be kept Intact." "I like the idea of thinking of the fnmlly and heritage," said Mr. Ches terton quietly. "It'n like the unwritten rules of caste thnt we find in Ireland. No one respects good ancestry and clean family records so much as the I people of the counties of Ireland." Many other discriminating comments followed until Mr, Chesterton drew himself up to his full staturo and Mrs. I Chestertoa fled to the elevator to nt I tend to n multitude of details that con cerned the future movements of her husband. TOD A Y'S MYSTERY STORY By PHILIP FRANCIS KOWLAN Saturday's Mystery Solution rf THE case of "Graft Money," Harvey Hunt's plan was not to use marked money, but counterfeit money. Ho had allowed himself to be robbed pf counterfeit money, and had fur nished the trusted individuals who also put themselves in the way of the bandits, with counterfeit money. Tho plan had several advantages. In Oie first place, while the police them elves often used marked money, and ao would be on their guard against the little checks or ticks, they wouldn't be po likely to Bnot good counterfeit. Spot ting counterfeits is not the business of the city police, but of the federal agents. In the second place, the plan woula swing the secret service into playing Hunt's game without knowing thnt they wero doing so. Tho money was passed from hand to hand up the line of grafters in the po- , lice department, nnd would be deposltea by tho guilty men in their various bank accounts. The receiving tellers of t the bonks would spot It as It wus turned in. and make a report to the secret service. Hunt had access to these re ports through his "entente eordlale" ' with the federal organization. Of course, much of the counterfeit monej ouId pass into Innocent hands, but buch as did would be scattered. That was why Hunt arrnnged for many hold tips, and not merely ono. He relied on the number of times nn individual offered counterfeits to the bank in mak ing his deposits, and of course be had ' planted in the robberies only one specific Itsue of counterfeits, none of which had been in circulation for a long time, stuff that he had kept as a relic from one of Lis former cases. Finally, tho plan had the udvantage that none of the officials in the graft knew that they were suspected. They wight be uneasy at the amtuut of coun terfeit that bad found iti way into their hands, but not knowing that they wpre even under esnlonaee. their sus picions, if they had any, would be In i the direction of double-crossing by their fellow -consplrutors, and would serve to break the cohesion of the graft ring lr nnythiug. . As it turned out. none of the men j were so strongly entrenched in politics j that the mayor could not quietly get rid I of them. And no Innocent members of I the force wero bothered. L.XXII i Can you tell wliere Bittwein hid The Spy List THE chief was angry. Successively ho had sent four men to find and copy tho spy list August Bittwein was known to have in his posstsaion. It was nnnoylng, for the chief kunu to a crtnlnty that Bittwein not only had tt in his poskwdon, but that he took it with him wherever he trnveled Ivept It right in bis hotel room, in fact. "Now Hunt, I want that list." The chief pounded the table for emphasis. "August Bittwein, as you well know, is one of the 'master minds' in the enetny'a espionage 8 stem In tho Tinted States. He makes no attempt at com-aling him- I eelf. He knows very vi.'l no won't' e touch him unless we can first get the information we want. His arrest would do us no particular good without It. We have every member of his suite shadowed. There are ten of them, you know, all posing as servants. "Theso couriers of Bittwein never communicato directly with members of tho active organization. I'm Inclined to think they hnve somo system of signals depending upon the manner in which the couriers are dressed, or per haps some Apparently innocent motions or gestures as they walk through tho crowds or pass given buildings. This spy list we want is the list of the re cipients of those messages, ifntil we get It Bittwein knows he is compara tively safe. You see he's not handi capped with receiving Information from them. Thnt goes through nnother chan nel. His job Is merely passing their orders on to them. "Well, the long and short of it la that Casey played burglar one night at tho Brockdalc, in NowYork, just nt the instant our frlena and his suite wag packing up to come to Washing ton, lllggs arranged a simultaneous hold-up of every onq of them on their way from the station to tho hotel here. At the same time Donellnn spent the whole time on tho way over In the bag gage car. He unpacked nnd cxnmlned every piece of baggage they had. He thought he had found the list when he struck the old folding writing desk thnt Bittwein nlwnys sends along with his trunks, for in tt he found one secret drawer. But it proved to contain pnpers of only minor importance, of which he made copies, of course. I can stntp with nbsolutc conviction that neither Bittwein nor his retinue have received n piece of mall or a parcel that we did not examine intimately. Yet somehow the fellow brought that list over from New York with him." "How did ho act on being held np nnd having his bnggago rifled?" Hunt askod. "He seemed highly amused," replied tho chief. "In fnct he chuckled in Casey's face when he saw him coming out of his rooms nt the hotel here after ward. It was crude work on Casey's part to get caught at it." "In that case," Harvey Hunt yawned, "I should say the strategic thing would be to fiud the list and copy it, leaving the original so he'd Just think wo had made another useless at tempt. That would give you nil the timo you want ior the round-up." "Aren't you n little previous?" asked the chief sarcastically. "You'd better concentrate on finding it before yon plan what you'll do with it." Hunt smiled amiably. "I have found it." he said. "That is, I can tell Casey where to find it. He'd better do the burgling, ns he knows the arrangement In Bittweln's suite." TTftcrs did Harccy Hunt Itiiove Catty Kould find itt The annccr cill appear tomorrow.

Hyman. superintendent of the Jewish Maternity Hospital, 032 Spruce street. To prevent mix-ups hero a system of taking babies' footprints has been de vised. "New-born babies arc so much alike that neither mothers nor fathers would ever recognlzo their own offspring if the babies were not pointed out by the nurse or doctor," said Dr. Hyman. "And even these attendants wouldn't know thd difference In nine cases out of ten If the infanta were not tagged or marked in some manner. "Most hospitals tag new-born in fants. Some use ribbons or tape, some use small chains with tags attacked tell ing the name and sex, The system of taking footprints was ndopted first In a Paris hospital after two babies had been purposely exchanged nnd n scandal ensued. Bnbies' fingerprints are too smnll to be of use, for oven under high raapilfylng microscopes it is not possible to distinguish lines in them. The foot, however, is better. At least for sev eral weeks the Hues in nn infant's foot remain the same, and no two children's feet nre marked alike. Hence this method of Identification has proved sat isfactory.
