the house door, with two other letters
and newspaper. The merchants wife
had picked up three packets. and was
positive there had not been fourth.
The postmaster went to the house and

KISSES ANDTHE NEW WOMAN

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Mrs. Maria Lee. Of Bountiful, Utah, Is
the latest development of the new wo-
man." Mrs. Lee is very pretty and her
husband Is very much in love with her,
much to her disgust. She Is a new woman
and declares that there should not be any
such thing as love between the sexes On
this account she resists all the demonstra-
tons Of affection which Mr.. Lee would be
pleased to shower upon her.
For the past three months Mrs Lee has
refused to allow her husband to kiss her.
few days ago he asked her for a kiss,
and when all his pleadings proved to be in
vain. he determined to extort the oscula-
tory embrace from her by force. Mrs.
Lee resisted, whereupon Mr.. Lee drew a
revolver and threatened that IL Mira. Lee
refused to give him the kiss to which Re
believed that he was entitled he would
shoot her. Mrs. Lee. knowing perfectly
well that the revolver was loaded and be-
lieving that her husband would put his
threat into execution II she persisted in
her refusal to kiss him, grudgingly con.
sented to allow him TO touch her lips, al
though she first endeavored to coax him
to put aside the gun. But the amorous
man was not to be fooled by any such
transparent ruse, and revolver In hand.
he took his kiss.
But this Is not the end of the story.
Mrs. Lee became very highly indignant at
her husbands conduct and declared that
she would sue him for divorce. as she
didn't care to be the wife of a man who
would extort a kiss from his unwilling
spouse at the point Of a revolver. She
therefore sued for a divorce When Mr..
Lee heard this he became very angry and
damaged his case by knocking her down
and beating her. After this he left her
and did not again call on her. She there
fore secured divorce by default.
1t is pity that Mr.. Lee, should have be-
haved in this manner and jeopardized his
case. 1t would have been interesting to
see whether the law would have sustained
the new woman In her suit for divorce on
the ground that her husband had extorted
a kiss at the point Of a revolver. The
right Of a woman to refuse kisses to her
husband should be decided in order that
there may be no doubt as to her rights or
the mans.

The score at this time showed slight

however, and only once during the game
did q player miss the ball when he
struck at II. Wonderful accuracy and
great strength were displayed in driv-
ing the ball long distances. In spite Of
the great size OF the court II was not
uncommon for the ball to be driven back
and forth eight or ten times without
coming to the ground. although It was
allowable TO strike It on the first bound.
The men also showed alacr1ty In getting
out OF one another's way which was
very wise OF them. considering the kind
OF gloves that were being swished
through the air.
The counting was much the same a.
In tennis and after each "set" the sides
changed ends. Bookmakers offered
odds on each set and also on the entire
game, and II a spectator didn't want to
bet on the playing ne could buy lottery
tickets at any price from 2-5 cents
each upward. A man with a silver half
dollar could have the rarest kind OF a
sport all during the game. The book
makers occupied small pine booths and
did not present an affluent appearance.
Refreshments were on sale, and for
the equivalent Of ] cent a spectator
could get q glass Of water slightly tinc-
tured with anise. Under the cheering in-
fiuence OF this drink the crowd re-
mained good-natured and sympathetic.
The Italians, at least those in Italy are
pleasant people to be with at this sort
Of a place. A stranger Is accorded
courtesy. and the game is explained to
him in Florentine dialect.
In one respect the crowd was very
sportsmanlike. OF course 1t sympathized
