evening April 10, which was, as usual
a success.
Sunshine No. 44S, having previously
had the mock marriage, it seemed quite
appropriate to trump up a charge OF
breach of promise against the poor
man who stood for Mr.. Jones, conse-
quently a presumptively Tilted little lady
brought suit for $4,000 damages. SIX
students from the law department OF
the University of Southern CALIFORNIA
handled the case admirably. 1t was
truly instructive and full of good, rich
humor. Vincent Morgan acted as
Judge, and Brother Harold performed
the duties of clerk. ID. II. Allen and H.
j. Bauer acted as prosecuting attor-
neys, while j. L. Richardson, A. }. Hin
and d. NJ. Hunsaker were DEFENDANT
attorneys. Sunshine is going to have
calendar printed and the details Will
tell of events three months in adj
vance.

than $25. An hours rest from dancing
