her denial. The owners and employees OF
the store in question, however. insist that
she was on its payroll. and earned her

documentary proof to the contrary, we
are inclined to favor the word OF the
ladies, for gallantry's sake. II for no
other reason. But there Is a principle In

woman, or was employed at any other OF

of a prime minister. and divorced him. in
so doing. from the favor Of his father and
from an allowance Of $500 4 month. This
