Baroness Carla Jcs.sen, of Danish origin, interviewed at Paris, described her career as tlie secret agent ,of an outstanding European spy service. She is only twenty-seven and beautiful. Her method was to plant sleep giving kisses and then go through a man’s baggage. She said she would never forget her first attempt on a man who had been sent to Europe by a revolutionary committee, to arrange the secret purchase of arms. She traced him to a Belgian seaside resort. Spreading some Indian narcotic. on her lips and using a wafer to neutralise the effects in case sinswallowed some of the drug, she vamped and kissed him, and he soon became drowsy, whereupon she commenced to go through liis baggage. The handsome Oriental suddenly awoke and cried out “You darned spy.” He presented a revolver and shot her in the fleshy part of .the right calf. She had the presence of mind to hit him on. the head with a hunting crop, and escaped in a confederate’s motor car, with the man’s papers, i when she fainted. She had tbungled her job, but had prevented a big contraband shipment of aims, which might have started a revolt. After that she never trusted a single kiss to put ft man asleep.
