BRIDES KISS ENOUGH
FOR MIR. MILLER

Just before the closing hour this
noon the town clerks office was the
scene of a wedding. Dan Steinmetz,
aged %, a buffer living at 146 Holly

the couple while clerks in the town
clerks office were witnesses. Attor-
ney Miller did not offer to kiss her
after the ceremony. Instead he pocket
ed the fee which Steinmetz handed

CITY COURT CASES

Pleas on the part of her mother to
be allowed to take her daughter home
and supervise her conduct won sus-
pended judgment for Mrs. Elsie J.
Price, 18 years DID, this morning as
she appeared before Judge Frank L.
Wilder in City court a continued
hearing of theft charges. Her mother
came from Wallingford and pleaded
for commitment to the House OF the
Good Shepherd instead of Jail. Thirty
days in jail was the sentence following
reports from H. w. F7eck and F. H.
sane. She was accused of entering, a
South End house and taking a suit of
clothes. Previously she had been an
inmate of the House of the Good
Shepherd. Judge Wilder instructed
Probation officer Mrs. Isaac Burgess
to keep an eye on the girl and, if she
departs from the straight and narrow
way again, the original sentence will
become operative.
Charged with statutory burglary in
connection with entrance into Costo
Bruno's store on Main street about
two months ago, Joseph Marks of 624
Lafayette street appeared and had a
hearing continued until November ri
under bonds Of $1,000.
Bessie Ward, at Iakeview for a
week undergoing bromide treatment,
received 80 days in jail and then sus-
pended Judgment was given foil lowing
her promise to leave the city and not
return. Intoxication was the charge.
Daniel O'Brien of s7S Madison ave-
nue. had breach Of the peace charges
continued until November 20. Attor-
ney Frederic A Bartlett appeared for
him.
Michael Luby's long police record
did much towards preventing his plea
for mercy being effective and 80 days
were given on an intoxication charge.
He was released from jail yesterday.
Incorrigible charges against Mary
Josnik were continued until Novem-
Der 20.
Forgery charges against Mary and
Anthony F'raenza, continued for more
than year, were again continued,
this time until November 20.
John Walsh, at first booked as abe
lincoln Of New York, arraigned on
charges of theft of 81 from Fireman
John J. Kane in the Travellers grill
on Elm street, intoxication and resist
ing officers, had his case continued
until Saturday with bonds continued
at $1,000
Daniel DiMenne, or demands, had
charges of intoxicar1on and assault
with intent to kill continued until
November 18 and breach of peace
charges against Gregoria Sang1ia, or
Scuglia, were continued until the same
date. Bonds in both cases were re-
duced from $1,000 to $780,
William Guishis, or Gersey, charged
with the theft Of $169 from Miss
Isabella, Ionaintis of Waterbury, who
expected he would marry her, had his

LOST SHIP IDENTIFIED
AS CLEVELAND VESSEL

Port Huron. Nov. 16-One of the
strangest mysteries in connection with
the destruction of vessels and men
on the Great Lakes by last Sundays
storm was solved, this forenoon, when
William Baker, diver, identified the
overturned vessel in Lake Huron, Is
miles northeast Of this port, as the
Charles s Price, of Cleveland.
The Price has been lying in the lake
ever since the storm with only few
feet of the bottom of her bow above
water. She is said to have carried
a crew OF "a All of them must have
been lost The diver found no evil
dence of another submerged vessel be-
side the Price. The opinion that two
steamers went down near each other
is borne out by the fact that the

THE DOMINANT AMERICAN
TYPE OF GIRL. IS THE PuRa-
The American girl represses her
emotions. She never is really nat
ural or impulsive. She thinks
about the conventions before she
speaks or acts. ALI her emotions
are under cover. Her life, her ac-
tions, her conversation, are FLAW
LESS, WE'LL BRED, IRE
PROACHABLE, but they are gov
erned by system and the opinion of
the world. She follows the line laid
down by her Puritan ancestors in
manners and emotions.
Even in her dress she is initiative,
but not bold. LIKE HER PUR-
ITAN ANCESTORS SHE WEARS
A UNIFORM. She only adopts
what every other woman wears.
