There wus a time when women walked abroad
with fat pocketbooks loosely carried agninst
their s1olnachs, sticking up so insinuatingly be-
fore the snatcncrs that 1t was always great
wonder to me rhB 1hloves didn't commence
counter-s,1its against the ladies for helng great
md unavoidable temptations. So loud WIS tho
outcry ut this absurd practice, and SO frequent
the robberics, 1hat one seldom sees the plethoric
purse waving invitation to the pockc1book-

diamonds IN their ears. Since poor Mrs. Barry
lost hers on Fifth avenue dozen or more rob-
berries Of like nature have occurred. Here nrs
