NEW YORK, July 1.-Do you

love to sit before the blazing
logs and hear their crackle and
snap, as the flames shoot up into
the chimney throat? Do you find
happiness in the glowing Goals of
a dying CRATE fire, and the dream
pictures that fancy pains In
them?
If you do. you will doubtless
thoroughly approve a decision
rendered by Wauhope Lynn, a
Justice of the municipal court, In
a suit tried before him, and you
will like to read his finding.
The case was that of a landlord
and a tenant. The latter, a
woman, moved out of her apart

The landlord sued to recover rent

follows:
"The defendants objection
that the fireplace would not burn
logs, but smoked when fire was
started, was not a captious objec-
ton, for while most city fire
places are ornamental or dec
orative, yet I must recognize that
the defendants tastes craved the
soothing comfort of a log fire.

Mary Keefe has inherited a for

and live in high style. She's got
$4,000, and no one with that
much money ever stayed in a
cabin on the waterfront"
So said the neighbors one fog
gy morning.
But they didn't know Mary
keefe. She is still there, happy
and contented in her little two
room shack close to the water
line. 1t was good enough for her
before her rich Philadelphia uncle
died the other day, making her a
rich woman, and it's good
enough for her now. That
what she told The Times report

To Mary Keefe the past is a
closed book. She came to San
Diego from Philadelphia last
April to start anew. She chose
as a shelter the rude little cabin
and she was happy there.
Mary Keefe has cast men out
or her life. When she was poor
she avoided the opposite sex, now

to spurn them. There was q
