New YORK CRY. N. Y.

NEW YORK CITY. N. I.
The oldest penalty for being pretty
heard of in many years is that suffered
by Io-year-old Helen George, of 81 John
son street, Brooklyn, who has been SO
violently beseiged by score OF admir-
ers whom she never saw or heard OF
before that she has been driven i'll by
their attentions. For more than 10 days
the girl was unable to set foot in the
street without being logged by one or
more of the men, who waited for her
at darkened corners and even camped
all night on her doorstep. The fact that
her two brothers thrashed one of her
suitors so severely that he almost need
ed the services of an ambulance SUR
geon, and the arrest of another of the
men by the police seems not to have
abated the fervor of the remainder. The
man arrested was Antoine Bardare, 40
years old. The police believe that some
disappointed sutton has hired num-
Der of braves to prosecute the girl. De
tectives have been detailed to solve the
affair.

The woman bought the hat on those

every man about to marry should
stand over a doctor with a club and
make him tell the truth in reference
to the chosen partner for life if there
was no other way of getting it out of
him. Also that the parents who would
allow a girl to marry a man without
knowing, as nearly as could be known,
his physical as well as his moral con-
dition deserved to be scalped.
