Genee was born in Aarkus, Denmark, and made her debut at the age of nine at Christiana, in Norway.

Halloween Damages.

Whether or not a city can be held responsib1e for damage done to pri- vate property by Halloween prank players is the question put up to the Danbury committee on claims The claim which amounts to S21.12, is made by Mrs. c. s. Leach, who says that a fence in front of her property was damaged to that amount and she asks the city to reimburse her. Should Mrs. Leach's claim be found valid one, there probably would be an al- most unlimited number of other claimants for damages on similar grounds
 Houseboat to Blame.
 To all intents and purposes, a house. boat broke up the home of Thomas Burns a Stamford gas-engine worker. Mrs. Burns refused flatly to live on houseboat her husband built, and she left him when he declared that that was to be his home. Mrs. Burns took her two children, Leroy and Isabelle, aged ten and five years. Burns fail ure to contribute towards their sup port led to his arrest. Judge Young ordered the accused to pay his wife S4 per week toward the support of the children. Burns said that he had gone so far with the construction of the house-boat when his wife made known her decision that it was too late to stop work unless he wanted to stand a financial loss.

The Boston club can hit the
