/ SHOT At WOMEN

a New OTk multIiui1lipi'"iiN
was sued last summer for sl2.5OO
by a lady whose affections have !
been badly damaged.
William Gould Brokaw is very |
great swelk indeed, sportsman,
a yachtsman and a well-known
man about town. Mrs. Adelaide
Poillon DECLARES that Mr.. Brokaw
made desperate love to her for
three years, wrote her about a
million letters and promised to
make her his wife. She alleges
that shesprepared an elaborate
and extensive trcusseau for
her expected marriage and that
every thing was perfectly lovely
along the matrimonial sky line.
And then he up and Tilted her.
Now, / do not propose to enter
into the merits of the case OF
Poilion We Brokaw. Of course, we
all agree that gentleman jill
il q dreadful creature and a Tilted
iady is touching and interesting
being.
Bot by what possible mental
process does woman arrive at
the condition wherein she is ready
to sue for breach of promiseT
That is what | want TO know.
Putting aside for the moment
any question of love, how is 1t
possible for women of pride, OF
spirit, to be willing that all the
world shall know that she has
been Tilted? This is TO me an
inconceivable proposition, that a
lady of gentle birth and breeding,
of refinement and sensibility,
could consider for one moment
the idea Of taking the whole
world into her confidence and
repeat to its inquisitiye ear the
story Of her cruelty maltreated
affection.
How can she bring herself to
face the interviewers and the
photographers and the cranks
who rush to 'offer consolation?
How suffer her portrait in her
Irish lace dinner gown or her silk
peignoir to be printed In the
papers? How endure the publish
ed descriptions of her beauty, her
beasts and her bed with her fat
little Cupid swinging from Its
brocaded canopy?
How Can she face the awful
ordeal of the courtroom when
perhaps she will take the witness
stard and tell the story of her
life? When the defendants law
YER will tear her reputation to
tstters and her character to
shreds?
And how, oh, how, can she SIT
there and before judge, jury,
newspaper raen, sneering women
and courtroom hangers on, listen
TO the. reading of those sacred
loyeletters, with all their thous
aud torrid kisses?
Itsseems TO me that If | were
4 Tilted lady, and had sought re
dress in the courts, that when i
came to the reading of the let
tiers / should funk; that at the
first"darlipg cry baby" or sweet
est honey pie" | should make
a bolt for the door and never stol
till / reached tall timber.
l suppose, though, if You Were
to pull off a quarter Of million
il would be some compensation
for hearing that sort of CORE
spondence read aloud.
