Daughters Craze for Dress Brings
Rich Old Manufacturer
Under Charm.

NEW YORK, Nov. .-EXtravagance.
1t seems. breeds extravaganza. The
family of William Hughes. a 65-year old
retired manufacturer of Brooklyn, will
give testimony to that effect
If Hughes three daughters had been
satisfied with the bountiful store of fall
gowns they already possessed, they
would not have called Miss Mary l. Me
intyre fascinating dressmaker. into
their home. They would not have thus
given their father opportunity to meet
her, to fall a slave to her captivating
manners. and to be embroiled in a
breach of promise suit, from which liti-
cation the pretty dressmaker emerged
the eXultant possessor of $4,000. The
amount. granted by verdict of a Brook
Ign Supreme Court jury, is one of the
largest awards ever made in a breach
Of promise case in this State.
The trial, notable because of the
large amount involved and the large
grant made. is to-day one of the inter
esting topics of New York's CONVERSE
ton. 1t was marked by number of
bon mots from the attorneys, particu-

hand and some smelling salts in the
other, prepared to take off the old gen.

the annual conference to be held here
November 20 is causing speculation
among the Methodist clergy of North
