David said he was willing TO marry the

"Were you not engaged to four or five
other girls"
mo | never been engaged to but one girl
before, and she gave me back everything"
The court interposed that it would take ju-
dicial notice that young men will give pres
ents to young ladies'
"But YOU will also take judicial notice
that the young ladies are not required to
give them back" said Lawyer Sarashon.
'Well, don't know about that replied
the court
MIR Sarasohn moved to dismiss the case
ON the ground that no cause of action had
been shown
The motion was denied, and Mrs. Dichten-
berg was called for the defense.
Mrs Dichtenberg, said lawyer Sarasohn,
''you are a married woman?" Amid the roar
which greeted this question Mr.. Sarasohn
tried to explain to the court that he mere
ly wished to establish self-evident fact. "
Mrs. Dichtenberg detailed what she had
done with David's $S5, good share of which,
she declared, she had paid for corned beef
and red cabbage, preparatory to the we'd
ding feast On cross-exatnlnatlon Mrs.
Dichtenberg became very much confused as
to what she had purchased and when, but
was quite positive that she had purchased
the vegetables eleven DAYS before the we'd
ding WAS to have taken place
Whom Judge Langbein said, "We will now
turn from the vegetables to the corned beef, !"
the court interposed with. How many

willing it should proceed.

She said she had postponed the marriage six
months that she might get over cold and
grow strong again. After she had postponed
the wedding she began to find out David's
ways, and now, since he had slandered her
in the newspapers, she would not marry
him.
Questioned as to what she meant by finding
out his ways. she said: 81 was sick two
weeks, and he never asked how | was.n
She denied that she was now engaged to
ANYBODY, and said she had had expert

other.
She was explaining to the judge in an ex-

David when the doleful tones OF decrepit
barrel organ came IN from the street dron-
ing out the familiar air of
Soon we'll marry,
Never to part,
Little Annie Rooney,
Is my sweetheart.
And the officers made no effort to check
the laugh that went round. The end of the
