Dfnculties Which Attended . Young Law. yer's Entree to Society.
 A case recently decided before Judge Fallon, of the Ninth District Court, de- veloped some unusually picturesque features. Daniel Bradley, a tailor at No. West Twenty-sixth street, op- pusite Delmonico's, was the plaintiff, and John T. OConnor, a lawyer at 167 Broadway, was the defendant. Philip Carpenter, of the Potter Build ing, brought tho suit for Bradley and carried it (the lawsuit-not the dress | suit) to successful issue.
 Attorney Killsheimer, of No. 167 Broadway, represented the somewhat rocky case of MT. O'Connor. The evil dence brought out these peculiar points:
 Lawyer O'Connor one day found him. self the recipient of an invitation to swell social affair uptown. This seemed to be a somewhat unusual event in his career, as it found him without dress suit He hurried of to MT. Bradley, the tailor, where he sought to negotiate the loan of spike-tail coat and the other personal adornments necessary to suc- cessful entree to the social swim.
 Bradley didn't keep dress suits to hire, but having desire to help struggling l Lawyer O'Connor to Dennis Shea, 8 dealer whose speciality is dress suits to loan for fair consideration. In this case the consideration was fixed at $4.5O for the evening. O'Connor didn't have the ''four-fifty," and MT. Shea did cash business, and hence the negotiations were blocked.
 Bradley's kindness of heart again came to the rescue, and he consented to go O'Connor's security for the dress suit for the evening. Thus it was that soci- ety was not deprived of MT. O'Connor's presence, as he blossomed out in much radiance in the hired suit, and for that occasion, at least, as Wordsworth puts it, ''society became his glittering bride.' '
 The dress suit seems to have been a good fit and otherwise satisfactory to Lawyer O'Connor, for he did not return it next day, according to the stipulations in the lease. Neither did he return it the next day, nor the next week, and he has not returned it yet. That is the reason the red-eyed law was invoked. , Shea wanted his money, and had re- course on Bradley as surety. MT. Brad ley paid, and then began to look around for O'Connor.
 Investigation showed that MT. O'Con. nor had ''hocked" his business suit and was disporting himself by night and by day in the hired suit, the rent of which was all the time piling up.
 While Jay Gould might have beer appalled, by such situation, MT lOConnor was serene.
 He was treading the flowery paths o1 Bacchus and didn't care a rap for ex penses. Tho matter went on until Lawyer Carpenter was forced to bring suit, which was done before Judge Fallon. When the case came to trial MT O'Connor was lawyer enough to know it would be point against him if ht appeared in court wearing the suit a
 issue, and by some heroic effort he managed to appear in a regulation suit
 He and his lawyer made hard fight
 but judgment for the value of tn.
 hired suit was recorded against him
 The whole tendency of the case went tt e show that getting into society in hiret
 dress suit is attended with dangers ant
 drawbacks.-N. Y. World.
