then came back and lad breakfast with
Miss Broom
Matilda is a good girl. Here Is part Of
her REORGANIZATION:
Mr.. Carson-Now, come, madame, were
you not astonished?
Matilda-NoI
Mr. Carson--Not astonished at Mr.. Pole
"a comparative stranger-coming to YOUR
mistress house at IL at night?
Matilda-No!
Mr.. Carson-Were you not astonished at
seeing the man who, at a. m. forced his
way into an unmarried lady's lodgings
then breakfaSted with her?
Matilda-No!
Matilda had no great esteem for Pole.
| once he chased her round the drawing
room trying to kiss her and such doings
she couldn't abide.
A day or two later Mrs Chandos-Pole
wired Miss Broom to come over for lunch
at kimberley. Miss Broom went and told
Mrs. Pole about her husbands uncere-
monious visit and his demands for brandy
and soda.
Just like SAM" was Mrs Poles COM
ment. He does the most remarka BILE
! things!'
After that Pole and Miss Broom be-
came great friends.
Robert Henry Griffin, landlord of the
Castle hotel, swore that Miss Broom
| lunched twice with Pole there and dined
once always alone.
Mrs. Sweet, who let lodgings at Tam
worth to Miss Broom, said Pole came to
see Miss Broom twice or thrice a week
| one Sunday Mrs. Sweet heard Poles
! voice in Miss Broom's upstairs room. AS
British matron she majesticaIly ascend
! ed and requested him to step down into
! Miss BroOm's drawing-room.
You impertinent woman!" Miss Broom
| is said to have replied. How dare you
speak in that way? Leave the room or
! I'll horsewhip you!"
| Mrs. Sweet adds that Mr.. Pole. after
using insulting language, gave her SOW
ereign and told her to keep her mouth
shut. Later she said, Pole choked her
and gave her 92 in payment
At last, when Miss Broom was leaving
Mrs. Sweet cooked her quantity of friz-
zled eggs and bacon, but Miss Broom
threw eggs, bacon and dish at her with
deadly aim, for when a policeman was
called Mrs. Sweets dress was covered
with frizzled eggs. Miss Broom came
down stairs smoking a cigarette, and aft
er some discussion she paid her rent and
went away.
Mrs. Sweet forgot to say that Maid
Matilda was in Miss Broom's room when
| Pole was there, but of course it all came
out on cross-examination. And neither
Mrs. Sweet nor Miss Emily Coombs, who
| let lodgings in Windsor to Miss Broom.
| could allege the slightest tmpropriety-un-
| less the bachelor-girl conduct here de-
scribed is improper
THE SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Nevertheless. Mrs Chandos-Pole's old
| fashioned lawyers, in making up her case
| for trial, included Mrs. Craven's name as
| a correspondent. In her establishment she
wrote as follows:
Dear Mrs Chandos-Pole: have re-
! celVed most extraordinary letter from
your husband, that one of the correspond
! ents will be myself. OF course I do not
! for one moment believe it and look upon
| his statement as the result of a distem-
pered brain. But it is an extremely un-
! pleasant thing to have such thing limited
| at even, and must ask you to be kind
enough to write me letter denying any
such intention.
Mrs. Pole replied that she was in no
sense responsible for the charge, that she
had heard nothing of it, and that her law
yers were responsible.
| Mrs. Craven chose to become an 'in-
| tervener" in the trial-that is to estab-
lish her own case by evidence. To this
| end she went upon the stand herself and
swore that Pole had stayed so late, on
the night of their first meeting, against
her will, on the plea Of seeing the old
| year out.
Then she asked Matilda, in German, to
get him out somehow. She saw no more
of him until morning. Yes, she threw
the eggs at Mrs. Sweet. The woman
was impertinent.
