After a few minutes of very earnest conversation Mr. Adriance came back to Mr. Raczfclewirz and remarked, "My wife has the necklace." Naturally the customs men wanted to know where, and they asked Mrs, Adriance to please produce it. She said she must, retire to her room and get it and immediately locked the door. The inspectresfes knocked on the door and were admitted In time to see Mrs, Adriance ripping open the lining of her big blue straw hat, and yioarls were paltering on the floor.
