The Credulity Of Women
Blu MARY ASHE MILLER

and without the excuse OF an appeal to
his deepest anection-
Captain Anderson. the head OF the
detective force. is not one of those
who believe that women are more prone
than men to have faith in what is told
them
"One is about as bad as the other"
he said. Men come in here every day
with stories of having been fieeced
one way or another. In fact. we have
more bunko victims among men than
among women
ITS really wonderful" he continued.

trihe more difficult generally to part
from their money than men.
Yes" he answered. Il think they

/ suggested that it was possible that
just as many men lost their money
through the wiles of women. but took
it more as a matter of course, or at
least hesitated to report it.
Yes. that's true" said Captain An
derson with laugh. Men come in
here sometimes and swear me to Sc

asked him what he thought in Mrs.
Wells case.
Why. he said. amy one would have

tions. he must be one Of the cleverest
of confidence men. 1 would certainly
have believed him. If any one came
and told me that my wife was injured
and in the emergency hospital.
couldn't get there fast enough"
And so the argument remains un-
settled Some of the men to whom
have talked do not agree with Captain
Anderson and myself. They still main
tain that women are more credulous
than men-which. 1 may say. rather
strengthens my side of the matter.
OF course. in little things woman
generally makes it a point TO believe
a man if she likes him at all. 1t is an
instinct of representation as strong
as the domestic fabric itself. But did
you ever try to make man disbsieve
a woman with whom he is in love? 1t
is not a cheerful task nor a wise occu-
patton.

Coli Story by Peer

There is no sport of which the hunor
is 50 diverse and ~problematicaF' as
golf. Yet there are some golf stories
of which the most obtuse nonvolfer
may have slimmering Of the point.
For example. says the strand Maga-
zine, Mr. Balfour relates the follow
ing as the drOllest allround anecdote
he has ever heard: Two PLAYERS de-
termined TO play a match by NOON
light.
The antagonists We're in everv re-
spect worthy of each other. and as the
match proceeded fortune did not ap-
pear to incline on either side. At last
they came TO long hole. and to each
II occurred at the same time that a
critical moment had been reached. and
that 1t was necessary TO adopt heroic
measures They drove OF two long
oalis. which to the eyes of the ordinary
spectators appeared TO vanish into
night, far beyond all human powers OF
vision TO follow.
But each OF the combatants de-
elared that he saw perfectly where his
ball had gone. and they walked Off
with unfaltering steps in the direc-
ton of the hole. When they had gone
about $50 yards neither began to show
any signs of indicating that he had
reached the place where he expected
70 find his ball. Both went on with
unhesitating stride. At last when thev
got 10 the putting green. some hundred
yards or so beyond the longest recorded
drive, both balls were found living
within clubs length OF the hole. Each
player had arranged to drop. a ball
through a hole in his trousers Dockets'

II ARK ye, o women' Does believing
ii come more readily to you than to
men? Are you more eredulous?
Could it be said of you that you are
easier?
The question has arisen from the ex-
perience of Mrs. Well, who was decoyed
from her attractive home in Steiner
street Monday by clever burglar who
returned later and stole her jewels.
The mere details might give the i'm
preston that Mrs. We'll did harken
readily to the story brought her, but a
closer acquaintance with the facts
shows that none save the most sus-
picious could have doubted Burglary
has developed into a fine art-or, should
one say a science? To be an honc=
man among burglars one must be a
clever amateur actor. good private
detective. possess the wardrobe of a
matinee idol, the courage of a lion and
the manner of a Chesterfield.
In Mrs. Wells experience the case
was a particularly villainous one.
Briefly told, it is as follows:
Mrs We'll was called to the door to
speak to a we'll dressed man who. with
display of mock sympathy. with a
seeming delicate hesitation. told her
that her husband had been terribly in
jured in a collision between car and
an automobile; that he was at the
harbor hospital and that she must
hasten to his side. His intimate knowl-
edge of details and the clever. plausi-
Bile manner in which he told his bad
news and then escorted Mrs. We'll to
car. might. apparently, have deceived
King Solomon himself Her husband
was, of course. not at the harbor hos
pital and before Mrs. We'll could find
him the man had returned to the house
and secured her valuable jewels.
Mrs. Well herself does not believe
that she is more than ordinarily credu-
lous.
"I may be a supreme idiot, OF
course she said, ~but think any
story when it was told her in that way
about some one for whom she cared
deeply. My thought was all for my
husband. 1 had no thought of the man
himself sufficient to make me stop to
doubt him.
And can one judge from this that
women are more credulous than men?
To contradict somewhat the theory,
Mr.. We'll himself had gone TO meet
Kolb and Dill for fictitious business
engagement made by the burglar over
the telephone. He was quite as ready
TO respond to the wiles of the crook
