LOVE AGAINST GOLD wcTuALs
Mans Appetite More Powerful Than
Divine Pass sion

LIVING al SlOH
A story as told here recently Of
suit brought by>a woman against man
because he is q quitter, aud che wants
So, 900 for breach of promise. She has
his letters. Here is q specimen of the
sort of stuff he wrote: Gan want for
Christmas is 105 kisses, IA mince pieP,
5 black KERRY cakes, peck of dough
nuts, 20-pound turkey and pan of
hot biscuits"
The plaintiff ought to know that q
man with an appetite like that was not
in love. Cutting out the kisses, he
writes like man who had been mar :
RE / long enough to get over it,
If he ever had heart his stomach
has smothered it.
La another letter he says; ga good
kles from my sweetheart and a big
piece of blackberry cake is the thing
like better than baked BEANS" There
it is again Comparing a kiss to baked
beans! Even then the kiss must be re-
inforeed by "a big piece of blackberry
cake" Perhaps he meant pie.
Tue plaintiff ought to know that this
creature is hog instead of lover.
Pretending TO be consumed with the
divine passion, he continually calls fol
something to eat. While he includes q
misersbly small number of kisses, his
voice Is for pie and turkey and hot bis
cults. He ought to marry a COOK.
If she wants a mere stomach for 9
husband why doesn't she marry the
hired man? II she is willing to marry
man that writes such letters she mus
have pretty strong stomach of hel
own. If she submits the letters as ev
idence the jury will acquit their writer
of the charge of deception
He was not in love. He was mer- ly
hungry.
