STEIN St. Valentine's Chief Aid and Pretty Girl Are Betrayed by Harrisburger When City Clerk Charles A. Miller opened one of his pile of letters yes terday he thought for a moment that he and St Valentine were mixed up a trifle as to dates. For, out of the envelope addressed simply to "City Clerk. Harrisburg," dropped a post card picture of a pretty girl. City office gossip has It that Mr. Miller blushed a trifle and said "Whew!" The clerical staff said "Ah hah!" and "Oh, dear me," However it wasn't a valentine after all, although the story back of the missive, In a way, is a tale of St. Val entine's chief—one of the tough little stories of how the tiny winged archer was probably betrayed. With the picture was a pathetic note from the original Mrs. Ada M. Stein, of Lynn, Mass. Her maiden name, she said, was Ada Greiner. Quite evidently letter writing isn't Mrs. Stein's long suit. She wrote to the city clerk 011 the advice of the prieKt In her parish with the hope of learning something of the whereabouts of one Lewis Stein, —whether he Is married, how many children he has and so on. She believes she had been married to Stein, she says, but he has deserted her. She has since learned that he is a Hebrew and she wanted Mr. Miller to tell her where Stein had been baptized, any other facts he knew of Stein's religious faith and whether lie really lia« a wif* in IJar risburg. She is pathetically anxious to get In touch with Stein's wife— lf he is married. Mrs. Stein (?) gives har address as t>9 North Commons, Lynn, Mass. She sent her post card picture to prove "that she lives In Lynn." A Lewis Stein was once a patrolman under ex-Mayors Gross and Meals. No Intoxicating Liquors in Houses and Property of Mt.
