TRIED SUICIDE FOR LOVE
And For Love of one OF Her ow. ssx
1t That.

NJ That
Gentlemen have before now At
tempted to put an end TO a miserable
existence because ladies whom they
desire 10 wed had the wretchedly bad
taste TO marry somebody else and
ladies have been known to return the
compliment In the case OF gentle.
men.
But for one lady 10 contemplate
suicide because another female In
engaged to be married. and to y
total stranger Is something Of new
departure. The strange case Of
l.eocadie Rhone young Belgian
woman, and Miss Parkinson. which
came before Sir John Bridge at
Bow-street police court says tho
London Telegraph. seems to show
that there Is still some romance left
In the world. Here arc two maidens
who vowed solemnly to each other
that II either were to become en-
gagged the other would at once kill
herself The arrangement appears a
trihe one-sided. and. moreover. Ia
faulty. because tho punishment falls
on the innocent party.
The remarkable point about 1t is
that the Belgian damsel-who at the
age OF 20 ought to have got rid OF
much Of the sentimentality OF youth
really took the vow seriously and on
hearing OF Miss Parkinsons engage
ment journeyed in hot haste from
Brussels with q loaded revolver In
order to carry out the fell design on
her own life. Why she troubled To
come over to England at all Is mol
apparent A few words OF kindly 40.
vice from tho magistrate induced the
too excitable Belgian TO return to hel
native shores, and also to promise moi
TO do herself any harm. Evidently
her whole grievance was that in nc
cordance with her vow. she had neg.
lectcd several good offers OF marriage
She had now better initiate her Eng
lish friend. and neglect them nj
longor. She will find that there Is ,
great deal OF romance to DO got out o
even so commonplace an expedient a
matrimony.
