It was still the masked Curtiss
who spoke. Oh, for one little word
or gesture of tenderness-of love!
Some sign that would reveal the old
Curtiss with his outspOken manner
and natural charm. This was not
my Curtiss. This cold, Unconditional
person who was constantly hiding his
innemOst thoughts and moods.
Was he protecting Letitia? 1t was
just possible that his innate gallan-
try for women had put a seal upon
his lips hoping that 1 would under
stand.
Listen, Sallie," he came over to
where l was sitting and stood be-
side my chair: "I've felt, for some
time, that things were not going
smoothly and I'm sorry, more sorry
than you'll ever know. You've been
a perfect brick about everything, too.
want you to know that it's to pro-
tect you from all evil and to keep
you sweet and fine that l would per-
suade you to stay away from Ellie
Mitchell and New York." he paused
in thought, as if he were searching
for some explanation of events,
which would make me change my
plans, then, with new-made decision,
he shook his head: "I wish you would
trust me, Sallie, trust me to work
things out. You know l love you
more than anything in all the world,
but there comes times in the history
of us all when we need to be sup
ported by the faith of those we love
and right at present 1 want you to
have confidence in my love, if pos
sible to close your eyes to things as
they seem, and 1 pledge you my word,
soon everything will be right"
For a moment 1 felt that the old
Curtiss had come to life.
"But, CurtiSs, don't you see what
a terrible price you are asking me
to pay?" l replied as l realized that
he was asking me to remain with
conditions unchanged, Cant you see

Women Are Too ''Thin-Skinned."

Since every day is field day for
crlticizing American women, perhaps
this version of what is wrong with
her may be interesting. It's the hon
est-togOodness viewpoint of man
so there may be some truth in it.
The trouble with women is that
they care too much about too many
persons, and love makes a woman
soft. Her life is full of emotional
hazards, because love plays too i'm
pOrtant a part in her life. Her hap
piness stands or falls by it. She
hasn't enough outside interests to Oc-
cupy her mind. She is too depend
ent upon other persons. She is not
sufficient unto herself.
She is far too sensitive-she has an
inferiOrity complex that makes hel
so. If there were an insurance COM
pany that paid damages for hurt
feelings, it wouldn't have woman OF
its books, if it knew its business.
The greatest wastage of feminine
energy is due to unnecessarily cOmpll-
Gated and sensitive personal relation
ships. The modern's woman is crit
icized as being "hard." She is moi
hard enought. She is too easily
wounded by criticism, lack of appre
citation, at home or in her office. She
broOds over Sights. She wonders anC
winces about what others may bt
thinking about her. She has too thir
a skin.
One of the advantages which mer

lives in his intelligence and in his in
dulgences, rather than in his sentl-
ments. He finds complete happiness
in his work, his golf, his car, his fish
ing tackle, his favorite books, ana
possibly one at a time) love affair.
All af these things, with the eXcep-
ton, of course, of the love affair,
are far less likely to hurt or dis
appoint him than are human beings
the friends and family upon which
a woman depends so wholely. The
one thing you can always be sure
of, about any person you care for,
is that sooner or later that person
will hurt you. And the more you
care, quantitatively, and qualitatively,
the more you will be hurt.
1t would seem, then, that the mo-
raj is obvious, especially as it is
pointed by one whole sex. Let wo-
men grow over their feelings a skin
as thick as that which protects men
Let women 90 more liking and less
loving. Let women take friendships
and family relationship more casual
ly, less tensely.
For her who works with her mind
not to allow feelings easily stirred
or stabbed, to get in the way of it
is a matter of self-preservation.

LOCALS FAVORED
 10 BEAT BROQKLYN
New Britain Team to Lalnch
 Powerful Attack Sunday

The All-New Britain football team
 is scheduled to travel to Brooklyn 1 Sunday 10 meet Humbcrt J. Fusazy' s l Brooklyn HorsemeN in what should
 be the hardest game Of the season | for the locals. The game was closed Tuesday night with Coach McNetley 1 of the Brooklyn team after the series
 with the Hartford Blues had been
 called off.
 ! New Britain in this game will face its nemesis of last year. Harry
 Stuhldreher. Stuhldreher is cap tain of the American league entry . from Brooklyn and is starring in
 every game the team plays. After
 his work with the Hartford Blues last season, the local team can ex- poet q hard tussle watching for his sensational forward pascea.
 New Britain will also have in the game, it's strongest possible lineup. In the bacliield will be the same crew which started the game against the New London Base last Sun day. Captain Barnikow, the human ramming machine, will be at full back. Thompson. diminutive Penn sylvanan will take one halfhack position with Eddie Collins at the other. These two starred in all de partment.s last Sunday and fans here know that they are not simply flashes in the pan" because of their work with local teams last year. Sturm will probably be at the quar. terback position. To alternate with the halfbaclIs or with Sturm at quar- terback, Eddie Hunt the star from Norwalk will be in the lineup. Hunt showed last Sunday that he is cap able of being one of the biggest scoring threats on the local team.
 The line will present a stoncwan defense and q powerful offensive. At ends. Hozheimcr and "Sher" Ring ham will probably start with "Unk" Connolly and Carl Brink being hnrd in reserve. Don'on arl Murphy will be at the tackles with thn possibility that Big Bill'' Warner will bo with N W Rritain again this S"rday, "Bie B'J' was injured in q game some time ago, but the injury wasn't ae sorious as was at first thought and he hae been playing regularly in the game. Then there is Conklin 10 fll in a' either position Jumbo" and IIumphries will take their usual ef- fcient care of the guard positions with Ho.ors at the niyot position.
 With this outfit. thc New Britain eleven stands as the fayorite to win game.

FIGHTERS READY
 FOR TITLE BOUT
Eddie Lord and Georgie Day to Meet for Lightweight Title

Waterbury, Nov 11.s-- Georgia Day, New Haven's dancing master, and Eddie Lord, the struggling milk man of Meriden, withdrew from their gymnasium trenches today and retired to the rest area to await their big clash tomorrow night at the Wa terbury state armory.
 The bout, one of the most import ant of the season. is a hard one to figure out and many of the bettors are hedging on their wagers until the last minute.
 To date Lord and Day have fought twice. Lord won the first go at Hart ford with ease and Day returned the compliment by pasting Lord plenti- fully in the second go at New Haven
 How to dope tomorrows nights contest when the two bouts fought thus far have been one sided affairs is one Of those things for the book
 Can Lord outsmart Georgia by his cleverness or will Days rushing tac- tics bowl over Eddie as they did at New Haven last summer"
 Apparently condition is going to play an important factor in the out come. Lord has been working like trojan at his Meriden training camp and looks so good that the Silver City fans are motoring over the Southington mountain intending to plunge heavily on their idol. Since Day defeated Lord last summer, the Meriden youngster has been season. ed thoroughly in the Day school of fighting. He met Mike Ballerino who throws punches la Day and came through in fine style. In the training schedule that Lord has pursued at Meriden, he has had the benefit of working out with Kid Kaplan. The latter has initiated Days rushing style in order to prepare Lord for the test.
 Day rugged, wade-in type of battler, always is in good physical trim so there need not be any worry that he won't be just as fit as Lord. Confidence reigns in Days camp, the feeling being that the slender Lord will not be able to pedal fast enough to keep away from the Tornado.

Emore Star Has Hit Winning Stride in Quest For State Cue Championship - To Try and Avenge Null doWney's Defeat in Match-Local Boy Will Follow Closely Plan of Safe Playing = Muldowney of Rogers to Stack Up Against Hanl2n in Hartford.

Dominick Soccol, representing the Elmore Billiard parlors in the State Pocket Billiard tournament, will try to avenge New Britain tonight when he stacks up against Demo of Meri- den in the Silver City boys home bailiwick. Demo came to this city Tuesday niS and beat MuIdowney 100 to S6, but he will meet player tonight who sees nothing in the of- fing except the state championship.
 Soccol easily beat Sigler of Hart ford in Hartford Tuesday night by following his method of playing safe ly and he will follow this course through tonight in Mcriden against Demo. Soccoli's biggest fault in past seasons was that he played too open and gave his opponent too many openings for high clusters.
 Starting after the first two losses of this season, Soccoi and his close advisers, got together and mapped out a plan of action which is bound to bring the local boy near to the top if not to the championship. Soc coli will take no chances except in desperate cases. He will try for no record runs but will clean off the open shots and then send the cue ball into . safe" and play only to win.
 He has won five and lost two in the league standi.g so far and has a good chance of coming through the first round in second place.

ATHLETES IGNORED
German Leaders in Three Sports Awarded Insignia of 'The Golden Ribbon"

Berlin, Nov. II LP-Three leaders in Germany sport for the year 1926 have been metaphorically crowned with laurel for their achievements. They have actually been awarded the insignia of a new order, that of "The Golden Ribbon" by an organ ization of German sports writers. The honored trio comprises Dr. Otto Peltzer, Otto Schmidt and Ernst Nierkoetter.
 Peltzer's present supremacy in the German athletic world Is unquestion- cd through his victory over Paavo Nurmi and his other record making achievements on the cinder path. Schmidt is Germany's most popular jockey, the first German rider ever to chalk up more than 100 victories in a season, his accomplishment this year. Vierkoetter is the first Ger man to swim the English channel.
