' Three or lour iivo-nlns ago quite -a ■number of Wellington gills wore robbM 'of their hair by some miscreant whose 'plan of operation was as sucee.-i.-ful as it was simple. Walking through the crowded i-jtreets, the thief wond espy Vent to the Carnival with a long phut down her -bark. A quick, cut will! some sharp instrument, and as quick a ilia'appearance among the surrounding peo'ple, and another victim was left 'to Jis- ' cover when she got home, or when an; met her friends, that her locks were 'gone. The publicity given in the Pre:;* 'to several outraged of this d-creriptionj 'seemed to indicate a cessation of oper''ations, Sbufc the opportunity presented' 'by the dense crowd at it'lio Basin Keservo for (he Patriotic Fund Oa-iiivji on Wednesday afternoon was 'too tempting to be missed. At least one girl wlso 'Went to the Carnival with a ong plait 'of pretty hair falling below her waist went awav with no mere than rea-ched 'to her shoulders. She felt no tug at her ' hair, or anything to indicate that it was 'being cut, but. on arrival home wa's ho-- ' rifled when Hi.i outrage, was discovered by members of the family.
