 WIT, GRACE, BEAUTY
 WIN YOUTHFUL HEART.
 Griswold, who allegeS that their TO- nance began nine yeafs ago, when he was president of the senior class of the Stamford High school and in his golden-haired, blue-eyed, rosy. unso. phisticated boyhood, claims social prominence for himself also. He is the nephew of Henry Bell, President of the First National Bank of Stam- ford: a cousin of Mrs. Charles Stout of New York, who was Miss Gene vieve Hecker, the national woman golf champion of 1902 and 1903, and a grandson of wealthy Andrew J. Bell, who when, he died few years ago left young Griswolds mother a large portion of his $500,000 estate.
 That day was fatal to his young heart, Griswold says, when his moth CT took him to call on the socially famous Mrs. Cummings. He was eighteen years old. He says her charm, her grace of manner, her wit, her beauty-just everything about her set his boyish heart on fire, and from that time on his thought through nine long years have been all and only for her. She treated him kindly from the first, he will aver, and then tenderly, and after her divorce from ex-Mayor Cummings in October, 1907, he was emboldened to ask her hand in marriage. To this, he alleges, she made answer that thrilled him with delight. It was Yes" But there was a condition to the consent. She said she would not leave her father and would not marry while he lived. When Commodore Smith, then an az ed man, should die, she would mar ry him. But after her fathers death in the spring of last year, when Gris- wold asked her to make good the promise he says she gave him, she refused.
 OF SIEGFRIED, SWEET
 BOY, "LIL" RUZZIE.
 Miss Smith in her answer denies all the allegations that he makes, but Griswo1d says that he has in his pos session fully two hundred letters 10 help convince a jury that the veal thy society woman exercised with un- deniable grace and fascination. her lure over him in boyhood,s youth and young manhood. Yes, indeed, that she called him in these letters her "Siegfried" and herself his "Brun- hilde'', that she promised to love him always and unto ashes," that she ad- dressed him as Dear L'n Ruzzie" and sweet boy'' and 'honey 1amb'' and when she didn't sign "Brunhilde'' sub- s- that most often, romantically and po- etically, and with certain appropri- ateness of parallel in the matter of the differences of their ages. she ad- dressed him as "Mein lieber Siegfried'' and called herself his "Brunhilde'' af- ter the characters in the Wagner opera.
 Anyway, he says she received all his devotion. For six years he held pos ition in the Corn Exchange Bank, but after her divorce from the Democra- tic politician, young Griswold declares he gave up his position in the bank. He then devoted his whole attention to the brilliant mature woman. gladly fetching and carrying and acting as a sort of secretary to her in the man. agement of her affairs.
 He credits himself with being her chief aid when she organized 'The Cat Club" several years ago, and gave her
 
 guests appeared as cats and frogs and hunted candy rats for prizes. He even wrote a poem to her on that event that had for it's inspiration the old line "A frog who would a-wooing go."
 ! He wrote and there was recently published a song of his composition entitled When You Are Nigh He says it was to her he wrote it. He chorus runs:
 The world seems to me much brighter When you are at my side;
 Cares melt away like the ocean spray When you are nigh.
 You make my heart beat lighter As On loves wave we ride;
 Life seems an endless. golden dream When you are nigh.
 Oh, and moreover, young MT. Gris- wold says that once, for a brief mo- ment aweary of being Siegfried and Brunhilde, they were ''Romeo and Juliet'' and that he-a1l in sport to be sure-c1imbed a rope ladder to her window, where she waited to give him romantic greeting. It was done, more over, under the cameras eye and pie lures of the Romeo and Juliet episode will be forthcoming at the trial
 The complaint in this unique suit in which Lawyer Gordon sets forth the woes of the young claimant for heart wound damages is eloquent. There are places where it fairly throbs. As
