Jusr a VIOLATE LITrLE JoKg.
How II Led to a Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one OF Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women,
planned aud enacted a joke; now she
is the defendant in an action at law.
while the society OF that Vermont city
is awaiting with glee the outcome Of
the affair, says the Boston Post
1t ali emanated from a bright idea"
conceived by Mrs. Gatty and few of
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James II. Hook
er, attorney and wealthy clubman, was
working altogether too hard and need
ed a little diversion to distract him
from the arduousness OF so busy a
summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
of work beside him that promised to
keep him In his office into the wee
small hours Of the night, the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs. Gatty, one Of his ac-
quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overweight and explained
that a dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of sum of
money, that the alleged swindler had
left a handbag behind, and would Mr.
Hooker come up Immediately and open
fhe bag and discover, If possible, the
identity of the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and hastened up to Mrs
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted nice
yellow lemon Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated + n different
reoesses Of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made ont In the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
home and served the papers in a suit
for fees due TO Mr. Hooker for sery-
ices.
The whole city is interested In Law
