SIZE DROPPED BIER GLOVE.
In the suit of Miss Tillie Ingersoll, OF
Washington, Pa, against Richard stew
art Willis, of Brooklyn, the trouble was
all caused by the fact that the plain
tiff's sister, Lille. had name so much
like the plaintiffs that the two names
got badly mixed in Mr.. Willis's cor
respondence. A letter be intended to
20 to Lille went by mistake to Tillie,
and as the letter contained proposal
of marriage for the former, disaster
resulted very speedily, for each young
lady had received attention from dr.
Willis.
HISTORY OF BREACH OF PROMISE.
Breaches Of promise OF marriage were
first taken cOgnizance OF by the canon
law, which punished them by eccIesias-
tical censures. According to the an
Gent Jurisprudence OF France, dam
ages could be recovered for the inexecu-
tion Of the engagement of matrimony,
and cases are reported which show a
considerable liberality on the subject.
NJ. Maynon, a counsellor in the P&rlia-
ment of Paris, was condemned to pay
60, 600 livres damages, and M. Heoert
$4,000 livreS. By the modern law OF
France damages may be recovered for
the violation Of this contract, and In
Germany and Holland also, and the
Prussian code regulates the amount OF
damages to be paid under q variety Of
circumstanc es.
KISSES SENT BY NAIL.
That was good wholesome advice
Boucicault gave to the world of lovers
when he said to a friend, my boy,
never kiss a lady through an ink bot
tie" But it is advice TO which little
heed is paid by lovesick SWANS. Every
breach of promise case brings to light
a batch of letters containing full COM
plement OF written kisses, and not in
frequently this OSCILLATION on paper is
indicated by mysterious dots and dashes
on the letters margin like re-
marques on an etching-symbols under
stood by the initiated and known
technically among lawyers as "amorous
crosses" In q suit tried recently be-
fore Judge Lawrence, of the Queens
Bench, in England, ninety-nine letters
from the defendant, youth named
Britton, were filed with such marks.
10 the famous Arbuckle-Campbell suit
the defendant ended most Of his corre-
spondence with the formula, 81 must
close with Els and KS until see you, 1"
the HIS and KS meaning hugs and
kisses" and in one moment OF supreme
affection he wrote, st send you bou-
ouet of kisses with fond embrace for
a central flower"
DR.. Linn, whose suit was recently on
trial In Chicago, used to seal his letters
with kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss from your
own dear DOCTOR" Mr.. Harry Poole,
of Follestone, England, whom Marion
Alexander brought into court for $500
damage done her heart, was accustomed
TO write: 81 am longing for to see you
and that pretty face, to iInpart once
mort q kiss to those ruby lips"
But it is not solely this barren paper
kissing that is brought to light by
breach of promise suits. In Miss Cars
lakes suit against DR.. Mozart Jenkins
the testimony showed that he 'hugged
and kissed his sweetheart, as all lovers
do" which is indefinite but interesting;
and Miss Margaret Miller alleged
that her recreant lover. James Holland,
FUSED to kiss her goodnight, but never
put his arm around her" On the other
hand, Clemens Miller, whom Miss Cam
merer sued, was chary OF his kisses,
out his demeanor was otherwise I'M
doubtedly affectiOnate, for witness
who had observed several episodes in
the courtship testified that "she judged
the defendant was hugging the plaintiff
all the time when she wasn't eating or
sleeping" Ida Clark related that Frank
Grlmshaw was Sc eager TO kiss her that
he tried to do so in hallway short
time after he met her. She became In
dignant, but finally forgave the offender
and took walks and rides with him.
Terms Of endearment are far more
numerous than kiSSesin the correspond
ence that finds its way into the breach
OF promise courts, but the lovers ex-
hiblt a distressing lack Of invention.
The Arbuckle-Campbell "Baby Bunt-
ing" was good enough to be embalmed
in the popular memory, bnt the Dear
Pet Bunny" of the letters is only the
old Roman poets ''dear little rabbit"
over again. Title Ingersoll used to sd-
dress Mr.. Richard. Willis Stewart aGec-
tionately as "My Bub," and Herr Miller
called Miss Cammerer "liebchen," the
regular German word for "loved one;"
but usually it is my pet" my dear, +"
'little GIRL" &C., over and over again
without change.
BEAUTY VS.. WOODEN LEG.
In breach of promise case the bar
sister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be well under the observation Of
the jury. says the Chicago Journal. he
began most pathetic appeal by direct
ing their attention to her beauty, and
calling for justice upon the head of
him who could wound the heart and
betray the confidence of one so
fair. concluding with peroration
of such pathos as to melt the
court TO tears. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT thea rose. aud after paying The
