BROKE TOOTH
ON A BISCUIT
Girl lSues After Eating at
Bridge Luncheon.

Paterson, N. j., Dec. 9.-After break
ing off the edge Of a tooth while eat
ing a dog biscuit which, she says, was
served her at a bridge luncheon, Miss
Helen Wenton, SOB East Thirty-sixth
street, has filed suit III the city district
court to 10Y $35, the amount of q
bill for the dental services she requir-
ed. Miss Harriet Condor of 1927 Bur
hans avenue Is the defendant, and as
both young women and many witnesses
in the case are prominent socially the
'dog biscuit luncheon is the topic Of
many drawing roof conversations.
Miss Wenton, who is a daughter of
Frank Wenton, a soap manufacturer,
had the lowest score at the bridge
party given by Miss Condor at the
home Of the latter's parents. When
lemonade and cakes were served, Miss
Wenton says, she took the peculiar
piece Of pastry which was nearest her
on the plate offered. She tested a
corner, and although 1t was very hard
and t~asteless she managed to eat 1t.
In her complaint Miss Wenton sets up
that she ate rather than to offend her
hostess, and as a result broke of the
edge Of n tooth and dislodged the
gold filing Of another.
When she had finished the pastry
Miss Wenton ~recltes, every one else
present burst into hearty laughter, and
she was informed she had eaten the
puppy's favorite pastry.
R~eserving her laughter until a latel
date, Miss W,nton Indignantly donnet
her wraps and left the Condor home
She instructed Isidore Klenert, a law
yer, to begin suit, declaring that mo-
only had she been Inundated, but tina
she had had to incur a dentists bill o.
$35 to repair the damage. The paper:
were filed with Wilbur Vanhouten
clerk Of the district court.
Miss Condor said that the inciden
was purely a Joke and expressed he
sorrow that Miss Wenton had takel
the matter so seriously.
