The Woman Carried the Jury.
A woman in New York was sued for
the price OF dress. She was at once a
witness and an exhibit, for she wore the
disputed dress on the stand, so that the
Jury could see its faults Faulty it was,
to tell the truth, and when she drew the
sleeve around her skeleton arm, to show
how loose it was, or lifted the surplus
cloth on her hips, or grabbed the excess
of material on her bosom, explaining at
the same time that she had ordered the
corsage to TT her like glove, the dullest
of the SIX jurors could understand that
the maker had erred. The attorney for
the plaintiff, in cross-queStioning asked
if she had Lot laced herself expressly for
this occasion, so as to make the dress
looser. She replied hotly that her corset
measure was invariably and unchangea-
bly, seventeen and a half inches. and
then, dropping into silent sarcasm,
wanted TO know if he thought that lac
ing would make her arms smaller or her
shoulders narrower. This was too ana
tomical for the legal gentleman, and he
was feeble from that time out. The jury
gave a verdict for the defendant.

vice to young ladies: ''In order to in
