lady Of 81, living in Copenhagen, COM
nitted suicide as the result of an I'm.
successful love affair. She fell in love
with a young, man, and in fit of des-
pair, because her affections were not
returned, she sprang from the fourth
floor window one morning and was
killed. She was widow and was the
mother Of a high government official.
This record did not stand long, how
ever. A few days later it was learned
that Josef Szazkas, aged log, had
hanged himself at Szatonar, on the
Hungarian frontier, because he feared
that God had forgotten him, and that
he was condemned to remain on the
earth for all eternity.
