Mrs. German recalled their visit to the
hotel made year ago, when they were
enjoying the honeymoon OF marriage
full of fancy. Mrs. German, who was
a Miss Florence Gray, was employed In
ago. One day while chatting with the
other girls. she said she was going to
send her card to the man that wore the
hat she was working Oil. She wrote:

turned out most pleasantly. The hat
with the inclosed address found its way

He discovered the slip of paper one day
and used it for book mark. Return

up the volume and the card dropped on

that he wrote to the person, telling how

with her, and told her his name was

acquaintance, and he promised to marry
her. Afterwards she discovered that

that he was married; that he promised
to get divorce and marry her, and as
he did not do SO she brought suit for

ANOTHER ELECTRIC LINE.
Property Holders Want 1t Built
on Lake Street.

The Lake Street improvement asso-
citation met yesterday afternoon at the
Boston block, and talked over various
matters of interest to property holders
in the vicinity of the Eighth ward. a
committee consisting OF s. G. Gale, p.
", Letter and }. S. Garvin, the presi-
dent and secretary to act eX-officiO. was
appointed to act with the MInnetonka
Improvement association toward the
furthprng of the plan to open and
widen Lake street to width of ninety
nine feet, from the city limits to Lake
MinnetOnka.
Some little feeling was manifested
during a discussion brought about by
the proposition that the association rec
ommend that the street railway be
asked to run their electric line out Lake
street to Minnetonka mills. and from
thence to the lake. Mr.. Fulda objected
strongly to the move, and said that he
did not see the advisability of the
scheme. The association had just rec
commended that Lake street be made
into a boulevard, and then advise Civ
ing the railroad company right to lay
their lines and spoil the proposed drive
way. He thought it would be better to
have the line run on a parallel street to
Lake, and reserve that avenue for
driveWay.aS had been originally intend
ed. Some few of the members agreed
with him, but the majority favored the
railway, and a committee. consisting of
S. G. Gale, President Reagan and Hec-
tor Baxter, was appointed to see the
proper authorities and have the matter
attended to.
MIR. Fulda proposed that If the street
cars were to occupy the center of the
street, six feet should be added to the
driveway, and taken from the sidewalk.
The proposition was Endorsed. A pro-
position was also favored asking that
the electric line be laid OH Lake street
from Minnetonka to st. Paul, and tho
committee was also instructed to see to
that matter.
Hector Baxter spoke at length upon
Minnetonka improvement, and said, the
electric line would he placed where the
motor now runs, and an effort be made
to have it again extended to the lake.
He said that the right Of way had al
ready been secured TO Hopkins station,
and that property owners would be glad
to contribute toward the securing of the
way for the rest of the line to Excelsior.
He said that 1t was matter of few
years before the majority of the Mime
apolis business men would live at the
