used their influence to get the woman
whose hospitality they had SO often en-
joyed clear of her troubles
But society could do nothing for her.
The emperor had set his face sternly

when her husband, who was a quiet man
of a most peaceable disposition, who
tainted at the sight of blood, broke away
from his wife's dominion and sued her
tor a divorce, thus exposing the nature
of her business. Herr Pietsch declared
that life was unbearable with gentlemen
fighting in the parlor every night.
He was peaceable man and wanted a
peaceable life. He told his wife she must
give up her due1fng business or give up
him, and she decided that she would do
the latter with the greatest pleasure in
a divorce on the sole ground of her OBJ
noxious business, and won his case Then
Frau Pietsch was arrested and sentenced
to a long term of Imprisonment. When
the police raided the frau's house they
broke into a parlor where duel with
swords had just taken place. One Of the
duelists had received wound which was
being sewed up by the surgeon, while
Frau Pietsch stood by, enjoying the oper-
alton. The police had been aware for
some time OF the nature Of Frau Pietsch's
business, but had not disturbed her, al

full. She found it such a profitable bust
