WEALTHY SHOPLIFTERS

NIGHT SPENT IN PRISON.

| Five wealthy husbands in New York | recently had the shock of their lives ■-when their wives were. arrested on charges of-shoplifting from a big department store. All the women are prominent in social circles in their home town at Philipsburg, New Jersey. They went by motor-car to the city and entered the store. A certain air of nervousness attracted the attention ;of detectives, who followed the women to their car and arrested them after finding a quantity of silk underwear, gloves and handkerchiefs in their possession.

After spending the night in prison the five wives, four of whom are mothers, were released on bail by their bands. ''Why did we do it?" sobbed the youngest and prettiest, who is only 21. "Don't ask me!" "Why, it was just a lark, I guess. I've never done' anything like it before," said another.
