SIX-DOLLAR-A-WEEK GIRL
ARRESTED FOR THEFT
That great" civic institution,
MarshalLField& Co., had Lillian
Kellar, 17 years old, of 1404
Sedgewick avenue, arrested yes
terday for stealing a few cents
out of the Marshall Field till
Besides the- charge of larceny,
Marshall Field detectives also,
said the girl had been frequent
ing cafes. They failed to proye
this in court.
The girl worked in the sub
basement of the Marshall Field
store. (We do not knpw whether
this was one of the "sub-basements"
given Marshall Field &
Co. by akind and indulgent set
of city fathers or not) Her
hours were fairly long. She re
ceived the princely "salary'' of $6
a week.
Lillian's father is a laborer,
Krh sometimes earns as much as
$12 a week, although not very
often in the winter.
Lillian was taken before Ju
yenile Judge Pinckney. Judge
Pinckney thought so little of the
girl's "crime" when the attendant
circumstances such as wages
were taken into account, that he
discharged her. '
Lillian's father and mother are
not sure where she is today.
They think she may be working
for Marshall Pield & Co. again,
and also they think she may not.
"Lillian left this morning say
ing she was going to plead with
the store-to give her back her old
job," said Mrs. Jacob Kellar, the
mother. "I do not know if she
got it back. If she did not, I am
afraid to thmk what has happen
ed to her."
