the robbers and was kicked to death.
Four policemen were within a few
feet of the club when the holdup oc-

taken into custody as witnesses.
Twenty Lined Up to Wal!
Twenty men were in the place shoot
Ing craps and playing hazard, according
to the police. when skyllght above the
heads of the players was raised ard
four men pushed automatic pistols
through the opening, shouting Hands
upi" Simultaneously the man who
later said he was John Reddy pushed
mis- way through a door into the club
room with a pistol in either hand.
While the players we're covered from
above Reddy is said to have lined all
his victims in a row facing the wall
while he relieved them Of cash and valu
ables.
When the bandit had completed his
work the skylight guards dropped into
the room and aided him in seeking
more cash, but without avail When
Kilkelly was searched he remarked,
with hands still above his head: 1--WE
ought to treat these guys as we did
the Germans"
Before he could complete the SEN

twice in the stomach as he lay on the
floor

After the robbery, the police say,
Brown and his patrons discussed the
question of whether complaint

fair. but when an effort was made to
rouse Kilkelly, who still lay on the
i'oor. he was found TO be dead. A
police alarm was then sent out and
surrounding towns were notified.

jostllng, neck craning, clbow-rub-

greeted Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pick
ford, Charlie Chaplin and Jack Pick
ford last night when they rolled up
in an automobile in front of the Lyric
Thcater to attend the first New York
preservation Of the newest Fairbanks
screen production, "The Three Mushe-
tcers.'
The throng greeted the visitors upon
their arrival at the theater and cheered
them again as they fled out after the
showing of the picture, and the traffic
police who were stivng in vain to hold
the gathering in check were unable to
estimate just which of the two ovations
was the greater. On both occasions the
crowd surged around the stars, whoop-
ing and screechng and yelling "Hey.
there, DOUG" Hello, Nary" Hey,
there, Charlie!"
More Fun on the Outside
Everybody who had influence of any
kind had tickets and was on the inside,
but it is doubtful if the spectators en-
Joyed themselves more than those who
remained on the outside and who had
no influence and no tickets. Included
in the latter was Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight world champion, who craned his
neck and showed just like everybody
else did, but as he happened to be in
West Forty second Street and not at
Boyle's Thirty Acres nobody paid much
attention to his craning and his push
ing. Some did recognize him, but just
IS somebody said Look there's
Dempsey!" somebody else said: Look!
there's the car-there's Mary and

She was at the fringe Of the sidewalk
crowd in front of the theater and tip

banks's head, and then his smiling face.
She nudged middc-2ged woman at
her side, and both screamed. In a min
ute everybody had seen the approach
and everybody began surging toward
the car. The police reserves began
surging, too. There were many of
them there, but not enough, and it was
with great difficulty that they cleared
space at the curb for the big machine in
which the celebrities we're riding.
Finally Douglas and Mary and Charlie
and Jack climbed out, the four
laughing and bowling and waving their
hands. They reached the theater en-
trance only to find that once on the
inside they we're again to face a good

Life is not so short but that there Is
always room for courtesy-Emerson.
CTRICTLY speaking the invitation
bidding a young man to be the
guest Of household should come
from the mother or wife, or whoever
acts as hostess OF that household.
Actually one young man often invites
chum of his to be a guest for
day or two, and the mother does not
send the letter of invitation that the
strictest good form would demand.
There is no great crime In this, only
the young man who writes the invita-
ton should word 1T so as to make 1t
evident that his mother extends the
hospitality, and In answering the in
vitation the one invited should be sure
to bear this fact in mind and whether
he has met the hOstess-tO-be or not
he should express his gratitude to her
for her Kindness in wishing him to be
a guest.
IL YOU have visited in the house be-
fore IL is courteous TO take to your
hostess. or have sent, so that it reaches
her shortly before you do, with your
card enclosed, a few flowers or some
bonbOnS.
Never smoke without gaining per
mission of your hostess. If there are
no other smokers in the family do not
ask for permission.
If you see that others make habit
OF smoking In the house then you may
ask for permission TO smoke even
though none OF the others are smoking
at the time.
Do not plan to accept outside In
vItations or to leave the house when
you are a guest without consulting
your hostess. She may have some
thing arranged for the same day and
hour. IL you are to have very i'm
portant business engagements that
cannot be broken during your visit
you should make the fact known at
once so that no plans will be made for
the time involved.

MARCIA.

TN K ARCIA has an ancient origin In
MI early Rome there was a famous
gems OF Sabine origin which
gave a king to Rome and was called
'lIartius. Martius In turn Is said to
come from Marcus. a name about
which there In much contention
among psychologists. However. the
consensus OF opinion seems to be that
At was derived from Mars. the war
god. and one OF the chief OF the cid
Latin deities.
The daughters OF the Martius fam
lily were called Marcia. Another
spelling was MARSHA. Reaching France,
the name became Marcie and OF late
years when Marcia returned TO vogue
she was used MS the feminine OF
Mark.
Martina is another form OF Marcia,
the original Martina being one of the
young Roman girls who endured the
fiery trial OF martyrdom under EN-
peror Decius. For some reason which
history does not explain the maiden
hair fern became identified with her
and It's prevalence in Roman gardens
