MASKED man TAKES
GIRLS POCkETbOOkS
Points Revolver at Heads and Re-
lieYes Them Of Money

Waterbury, Aug. 24.--Pointing a
gun at three girls a masked man, de-
scribed as being about rs years old,
robbed them of pocketbook and
threatened, to shoot them If they NOV
ed or made an outcry until he had
escaped, in the brush at Fairmount,
Waterville, late yesterday afternoon.
The girls are Marion French, 20, of
Colonial avenue, Bertha Clinch, Is, of
Colonial avenue and Leona Hall, IS,
of West Cornwall. Miss Hall is visit
ing at the Clinch home.
Tho girls were taking a short cut
through Paramount to the trolley
line on, their way to theater in this
city when they noticed a man fol-
lowing them. They paid no atten-
ton To- him until he circled around
behind a bush and came in front of
them, painting after his run and
wearing mask over his face.
According to information received
by tho. police the robber pointed the
gun directly at Miss French's head
and said, Give me that bag and
don't say word or I'll shoot the
three of you dead"
Miss French accordingly handed
Parkville. Miss 9'Brien was one of
over the bag containing a little more
than SIS. Noticing that the other
girls did not carry bags the man
did not demand money from them.
He then stepped back still holding
the pistol and commanded the three
girls to stand still until he had made
his getaway and ordering them to
make no outcry.
Following the disappearance of
footpad, the girls became hysterical
and after a time made their way to
the home of family named Taylor
in that vicinity. Afterward they
walked to Cool1son's grocery store
on Thomaston avenue and notified the
police.
Detective Henry Johnson and
Lieut.. Joseph Stevens were sent to
the scene and investigated the affair.
The three girls described the man
as being of medium height, wearing
a dark suit and gray cap. The
police have man under suspicion
and an arrest will be made in the
case today, according to information
given out last night.
Harold Clinch, brother of the girls
who were held up, reported at police
headquarters last night that some
time ago while going through the
same section as his sister and her
companions were, he was held up by
q man who answers the same de-
scription of the person who held UP
thes girls. He did not report the
matter to the police at that time.

A Woman's Sharpest
 W eapon Is Her Tongue
A bewildered young woman went

A bewildered young woman went to an older woman and said:
 I've come to ask you what is the matter with John and me. Our mar riage is about to go on the rocks. John has ceased to care for me. As you know, when we were married three years ago. he was wildly in love with me. and never could get enough of my society. Now he avoids me, and never wants to go out any where with me, and l don't know what has happened to change him V
 You are killing Johns affection for you and wrecking your home with your tongue" replied the older woman. You have the knack Of saying sharp and cutting things that wound like a two-edged sword, and with this lethal weapon you are staying your happiness.
 You have made John afraid of you. lies constrained and ill at ease in your presence because he doesn't know where you arc going to stab next. and he doesn't want to go out with you anywhere because he cannot endure having you hold him lip as a figure of fun for the ridicule of other people.
 Perhaps you don't realize it, but you have made him the butt of your merry jests. All of your best sto- ries center around some weakness of his, Or some blunder that he has made. l have seen you set a dinner table in a roar as you caricatured some pecularity of his, and l have watched the hurt look that came into his face, and that was succeeded by one of bitter resentment that should have warned you of the danger you were running. But it didn't.
 For a woman gets drunk on her own wit, and when she has the fatal gift of sarcasm, she cannot refrain from using it. She will cut her nearest and dearest to the quick for the pleasure of saying something smart. She will alienate a lifelong friend with an epigram. She will laughter of fools.
 Now there is nothing else on earth that any of us so fear and dread as ridicule. There is nothing that we will not forgive sooner than having a searchleht turned on our weak nesses. There Is nothing that we so hate as being put in position that makes us absurd. None of us have any sense of humor when we are the point of the joke ourselves.
 And we are especially sensitive to ridicule from those We love, because We hope that, somehow. their affec- ton for us is great enough to hide our defects from their eyes, and that they see us not as the poor, falter- ing creatures that we are, but ideal ized into what we should be.

out that we are capering clowns at which they jibe and mock.
 This is why it is a rash and idiotic thing for a woman ever to get funny with her husband. He doesn't enjoy the repartee that leaves him feeling ikea dumb bell. He doesn't want any wife sharpening her wits on him, nor will he stand being made the goat in her side-splitting anecdotes or domestic life.
 50 woman begins driving the nails in the coffin in which her hus- bands love for her will be buried when she commences making sarcas- tic speeches to him that probe some little secret weakness that he never drea med she perceived, and when she burlesques his mistakes to amuse strangers.
 That is more than masculine van ity can stand. That strikes at his self-love, which is deeper than his love for any mere wife. And so, 1T q woman wants to get rid of her husband, she can find no quicker or surer way to do it than just by rid iculing him.
 As q matter of fact. the woman with the serpent tongue makes no hit with men. anyway. They walk as wide of her as they would of rattlesnake. Not many men like a witty woman, and they even fight shy of the woman who laughs much, and who ha keen sense of humor. because they are always afraid that she might possibly be laughing at them and see something funny in them.
 They can't stand that. There is something in man which demands that woman respect him and ad- mire him and look up to him. He can't endure being just human joke to her, especially if he is her husband. That is why men are not only able to endure, but even to cherish and admire women who have no funny bone, and who have to have a humorous story diagramed and explained to them in words of one syllable.
 "Thcrefore. my dear" continued the older woman, remember that wit was never intended for home consumption. 1t is strictly com pany dish. Never indulge in any bright comebacks to your husband. Swallow the sarcastic speeches that rise to your lips even though they choke you, and. above all, never yield to the temptation to tell funny story of which your lord and master is the hero.
 Laugh with your husband. but never at him. So shall he enjoy your company, and not flee from you as from torturer who is likely to skin him alive for the amusement of guffawing crowd.
 "A womans weapon is her tongue. She can use 1t to hurt her husband and drive him away from her, or she can sing with 1t a siren song that W i'll bind him to her forever"

CHAPTER 50

Had Donald Muir been a vain man he would have resented his wards re- peated reference to his age. Instead, he answered her question gently and without hurt feelings.
 That l am older than you, and that the woman you refer to is also older than you does make some diff ference in what we may do." he an- swered. Moreover, my companion yesterday afternoon is a client whom l drove up the Hudson to see some property she thinks of buying. On our way back we stopped for tea. And you saw us.'
 You do not need to explain that to me-" Winifred said. T do not care who she was"
 T know there is no need of ex- blaming to you" he assured her. 'Nor do I suppose that you care. But do care"
 For an instant Winifred was startled. Did he mean that he cared for the woman referred to? An in- stant later she saw her mistake.
 "l care great deal for your hap piness, and for you, Winifred," he continued. That is why l am ask ing you to be careful. Really, you are not to blame for being indiscreet, for you nave little knowledge of the world. But-forgive me If I say it- young Rankin should have known better than to go with you to that empty apartment yesterday"
 Tt was not his fault" Winifred hastened to explain. T invited him to go with me. He has artistic tastes and l wished his ideas about decora- tion, furnishings and all that. So I asked him to look over the rooms with me. There was no harm in it. was there?"
 Donald's face cleared. Not bit" he affirmed. "I did not understand that you had suggested the chaps going with you. He could not well refuse-could he?-without seeming priggish and rude. l did him an in- justice"
 'Yes, you really did" Winifred noted the softened mood and has tened to make the most of it. Don aid. I am glad you are fair enough to admit this-for really Richard Rankin is a nightly fine chap-and I like him. He is doing wonderful work, too.'
 What kiyd of work?'
 T do nC exactly understand the details of it. she confessed, "But it Is some kind of uplift worl-some- thing to help poor men who have
