long lost COUSIN. A PRETTY GIRL, A KISS, AND A MISSING WALLET. BRUSSELS, May 30. There is a. very pretty, smartly dressed well-spoken young woman walking about Brussels making a. good living by .mistaking impressionable young men for her cousin. Yesterday afternoon she caught her latest victim. He was strolling along the Rue, du Pelican when she stopped bun: “Hullo, Peter!” she cried in a delightedly surprised manner, “I have, not seen you for ages.-' Before the astonished young man could reply the girl’s arms were round his neck and he was being smothered with kisses. Then tho girl found she had made a silly mistake—but really, bo was her cousin Peter’s double. Slio blushed in maidenly confusion, and the young man, his face still burning with the ardent kisses, politely raised bis hat and* regretfully watched her disappear round the corner. Shortly afterwards he discovered that Lis wallet containing £4 had also disappeared round the corner.
