This Is The perfumed death of the
Pisan couftesan. Two fierce leon
ards in gilded cage are held in

roses have begun.
As the Pisanella lies silent under
the mound Of roses the young King
enters and confronts the Queen
Mother. These are the words that
the audience thought they caught
amid the sonorous splendor of the
scenery:

The propriety Of promiscuous kiss
Ing by wife came before Supreme
Court Justice Gavegan in recent suit
for divorce brought by David Lock

A. Lockwood. Mrs. Lockwood adj
mitted on the witness stand that she
had kissed the correspondent the first
night she met him and a good many
times afterward, but she didn't see any
harm in it.
The testimony of Mrs. Lockwood,
her sister, Miss Maud Plumstead, and
Mrs. Evelyn Maybee, indicated that
the correspondent. Morton S. Arvis,
showed no favoritism in his kissing,
but treated all three women with
equal generosity. Mrs. Lockwood's
story of the events on the night when
her husband contended she had been
guilty of conduct which entitled him
to a divorce was that Arvis really
called to see Miss Plumstead, and that
she was just entertaining him until
her sister returned, when Lockwood
burst into the house with a party OF
friends.
