e For about Is minutes Monday

:. tanned with what looked at first to be
h a bit of push-ball practice but what
e proved to be mix.up between three
d women. A young woman, carrying a
q suit case, arrived at the station To
=, take the 2.07 train and was followed
y by an older woman who insisted that
9 the younger woman remain in Brattle'
y boro. She prepared to make her lnvl-
tation good by restraining the younger
+ woman. About this time the third
: woman appeared. She was frlen9
e of the young moman and was ON hand
7 to see that there was no fouling. The
) three women crowded and pushed each
3, other about the women s parlor of the
5, station and occasionally the suit case
n changed hands only to be recovered q
U minute later by its owner. Chief of
n Police Wilson happened in Just in time
d to deal out some advice and the women
T. ceased their wrangling. The young
y woman left town.
