Mme. Schenck, a woman. of means, living in the Rue Liebnitz, has just been convinced (says the Paris correspondent of the "New York Herald") of the foolishness of concealing the amount of her fortune from her hiisband in order that ho should not know her" wealth. _ She concealed 60,000 francs (£2400) in bank notes and securities in the mattress of a bed some days ago. She placed the mattress on a balcony to air. The bag containing her fortune dropped to the street and was appropriated by one of her neighbours. The person has just been sent to prison for three years, but Mme. Schenck's fortune is gone.
