Mrs. Mary E. Hamilton, just ar rived at her New York apartment af ter a successful hunt for a missing girl, removed a trim black straw hat, ran a hand through her dark hair, and permitted a pair of rather somber gray eyes to emphasize her words with n long, direct glance. "The typical woman criminal In this year of disgrace," she said, "is surprisingly young. Often she isn't twenty-five years old before she has an interesting record. Her hair is usually bobbed. She dresses flashily hut rather well, and the minute Paris decrees a new style of earring this lady is wearing it.
