PEEPEp IN HIS FiANCEE's ROOM
why New Jersey Lover Cancelled His
Engagement.

James Irven Of Paterson, n. j., was
a little inconsiderate when he told his
sweetheart. Charlotte Westerer, that
he had learned that the beautiful hair
which crowned her head was detach-
able. and that the rose tint on her
cheeks was not OF natures making, but
was produced by the application OF a
rabbits foot dipped in powder. Had he
shown a little more judgment when he
informed his bride-elect Of his knowl-
edge he probably would not now be the
defendant in a breach OF promise suit;
neither would he have been cited TO APP
pear in court to tell why he should not
be sent to prison for peeping into
maiden's bedcha.nUer. II is needless
to say that the engagement is Off.
James and Charlotte have been in love
with one another for more than a year.
