The Young Woman Was swindIed

To the Editor:
A young lady went to a certain place in this
city to take lessons, paying 81 in advance for a
months tuition. Not wishing her private address
| to be known she gave in assumed name and
an address, where any communication that might
be sent would reach her. The teacher having
by accident discovered the deception in name and
address made quite fuss about It, declaring the
young woman could not continue taking lessons
and threatening to have her arrested. The
young lady thereupon demanded the money due
her out OF the 81. having received but one lesson,
but refused and more threats followed. Not
being sure OF her ground she concluded to leave
| the place and let the money go. VIII you kindly
| state whether this young lady was amenable to
law, when the only wrong thing she did was to
| tell lie, In stating when asked Where do you
