heart broken. He SAYS that the wo-
man he loved, Violet l.. Williams, has
gone back on him completely. In fact
she has gone so far back that she
has married another man, and that

breach of promise and the original
notice was first served upon her.

suit against married woman on
behalf of a minor son for breach of
promise is presented in the case of

dreamed of the one girl in the world
for him. But the dream ended, he

on him and instead of wedding him
