Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg, since the fright her little daughter suffered, goes armed when she rides along the bridle paths around her Long island home, and she would not hesitate to use her weapon, I am sure, if any repitltion of the holdup May Ladenburg experienced were to occur. Half the women of the Meadowbrook hunt know how to carry a pistol and to use it, too. A well-known society woman has had a brace of revolvers made for her automobile. She carries them in holsters one at each side of the tonneau each ready for Instant use," New Tork Press.
