The affair is claimed to have been

not like the idea of having her costume
damaged. She Mt once demanded that
she be paid the value of the garment
which it seems was refused ON the ground
that All the necessary precaution was
used In the removal of the springs and
that the accident was unavoidable and al

The young lady, however, chose to con
