William Brown for breach of promise.
She is now forty-six and he is fifty

Brown won her heart and two years
later they became engaged, Brown
promising TO wed her as soon as his
mother died-an event which was
shortly expected-but Mrs Brown per
sisted in living on until two years
ago. Then the marriage was set for
March, 1902. To Brown, however.
the idea of marriage seemed to have
lost it's charm, for suddenly he sailed

duty to institute proceedings against
the tickle Brown, especially as she had
during the twentysiX years refused
