WAS HoRRlD SWEET REVENGE
Young Lady Presents Former Lover
and New Wife With Breach of
Premise PaperS

New York, Dec. &.-There is other balm
than money for a bruised heart, for dis
appointed love. A womans revenge is
sweeter than cold cash. This is proved by
Miss Cammie Bakers breach OF promise
suit against William z. Flanagan. which
has begun IN the district court at Patter-
son, New Jersey. Miss Baber asks only
$500 damages.
But she has already had 800. 900 worth
Of revenge by shaming the man who. she
declares, asked her to be his wife, and by
humiliating his bride.
Who but a woman would have planned
the scheme Miss Baker carried out? She
had her lawyer. Richard Randall. pre-
pare papers IN breach Of promise suit
which described at some length the af-
fectionate scenes where Flanagan de-
clared his undyins affection for her. She
got a summons.
Then she went to Flannigan's wedding
reception, carrying a neat little bundle
tied up IN pink ribbon and gold thread.
The guests greeted her admiringly and
told her what a fine young woman she
was. to hide any jealousy she might feel,
to come and felicltate the bride and the
bridegroom
Miss Baker smningly congratulated the
newly-made Mrs. Flanagan and told her
she knew she would be happy, with slight
emphasis on the knew" Still smiling,
Miss Baker told Flanagan how lucky he
was in winning such a wife And here.
she said, almost caressingly, as she hand
ed him the parcel tied in pink ribbon
and gold thread here IS a triie I have
brought to you and Mrs. Flanagan
1T is very, very good of you" exclaimed
Flanagan. doubly grateful. He opened
the parcel

OF promise suit
Flannigan's face blanched; his bride al
most tainted IS she looked at the sheer
ing. triumphant Miss Baker. She eoJoyed
the situation for a moment and then
event from the room. With her went
all the happiness Of such an occasion. II
remained fer Flanagan TO make eX9lana-
tons.
Miss Baker asks 1900 because, she says.
she should be reimbursed for the amcun
she paid for her wedding dress, which
is OF a white silk with silver trimmings
Miss Baker frankly says that the scene
at F1annigan's reception nearly coihpsH'

Miss Baker has number OF letters
which she viii exhibit in the event Of
