MABEL LOOMS TODD.
Lady known Here Interested in
Big Lawsuit.

AMHERST (Mass.), November 22.-
Massachusetts Supreme Court has sus-
|tained the decision of the lower court
in the suit brought by Miss Lavinia y.
Dickinson against Mrs. Mabel LOOMS
TODD, wife OF Professor David II. Todd
of Amherst College, overruling Mrs.
|Todd's appeal. The court orders that
she reconvey TO Miss Dickinson real
estate which, it is held, was obtained
by fraudulent means.
This is the end Of long and bitter
legal fight which has long divided Am
|herst into two warning camps, all the
parties IN the case living here. Pro-
lessor and Mrs. Todd's home, the deeds
LOT which were IN Mrs. Todd's name,
owned by Miss Dickinson. Miss Dick
,inson intended to build house on this
lot, and the Todfls objected SO strenu-
|ousIy that she promised not to build.
vited Mrs Todd to her house TO talk
the matter over. Mrs. Todd gave her
a paper to sign. leading her to believe
that it was promise not to build the
'house. Later she discovered that il was
"a deed transferring the lot to Mrs.
Todd
Mrs Todd's defence was that Miss
Dickinson was fully aware of the char
acter OF the paper when she signed it,
and that in payment Mrs. Todd was to
help Miss Dickinson in some literary
work. Miss Dickinson promptly
brought suit for the return Of the prop
erty. Professor Todd is a well-known
astronomer, and he and his wife made
the noted trip to Japan on board the
yacht Coronet last year 10 view q solar
eclipse. Mrs. Todd lectured and wrote
about the journey. Miss Dickinson's
sister was Emily Dickinson, the poet.

do things and when a father or a
mother or any relative came to inquire
about a sick man, he just sent an or

allowed four Or five outside people who

half way up The bodice has simu-
lated lacing about six inches from the
neck, which sets ,the masculine OBJ
server to wondering how on earth
the wearer got into it.
Horizontal trimmings of braid and
tucks are SO numerous as to send ter
.ror to the heart of the stout woman.
A black silk skirt of the Noah's Ark
variety has succession of fine tucks
set in at intervals of three or four
inches. The upper now has four tucks,
the next six, dthen eight, ten, and
twelve, until the bottom of the skirt
is reached. The same idea is carried
out with narrow velvet ribbon, or even
silk gimp braid. Such a skirt will take
the place of the plain separate skirts
which have become so much a neces-
sity that to do away with them some
thing must be devised to replace them.
Fine tucks are also very much used
on fancy waists. A black and white
striped waist has knife pleated fiounces
