SUES FOR BREACH
OF PROMISE AND
SETTLES QUIETLY
Orange Girl Refuses to Say
Whether Wedding VIII
Take Place.

Whoever It was said that the course
Of true love never did run smooth
ought first to have consulted Miss P
Anna Day. of 1863 Day street. Orange.
and then he would have made It
trifie more emphatic
The course of Miss Days true love
has had many bumps, including an
evasive sort of breach of promise
suit, on one day and off another.
Even before she had an opportunity
to be left waiting at the church. she
filed suit against Kurt Haase. Of 80
South Arlington avenue. East Or
ange, for breach of marriage con-
tracts.
Today. however, Miss Day told a
reporter of the Evening Star that the
case had been settled out of court.
You are going to be married. after
all. them she was asked
II won't tell you that" she laughed
Charles H. Stewart, OF Lambert &
Stewart, her lawyers. was equally
reticent. He said that the settlement
had not been made through him. but
that the suit had indeed been diseon-
ttnued.
TrOusseau All Ready.
In her complaint, Miss Day claimed
$1,000 damages from Haase for in
juries to her affections and told the
tale of a wedding that was to take
place next Wednesday, June IS, but
that she averred that it was now "all
off, although the organist had been
engaged. the invitations issued and
her wedding trousseau prepared.
The complaint recited that Haase
had been keeping company with Miss
Day since February. 1912, and that
during the summer of 1912 Haase fire.
quently spoke of marriage and that
in October. 1912. he asked Miss Day
to marry him and she consented.
On January l, 1913. the complaint
continued. Haase told John P. Day
and Sarah F. Day, aunt and uncle of
the Tilted girl. that he was going TO
marry her and with the aunt and
uncle, as well as the bride-to-b be, dis
cussed the date of the wedding. the
date finally selected being July 70
next, the birthday of Miss Day.
Everything apparently went
smoothly until April Is, 1873 when
Haase asked that the wedding day be
fixed for June IS instead of July -,
and to this Miss Day agreed. She
says that both herself and Haase
notified their friends of their intended
wedding. and that she. with the
knowledge and consent of Haase, en-
gagged an organist to play the we'd
the wedding and bought her trous-
seau. The couple were also negoti-
ating for the purchase of a home at
121 Belvidere avenue. Bloomfield.
Changes His Mind.
There did not seem to be cloud
in the sky of happiness for the en-
gagged couple until May "a last. when.
according to the complaint of Miss
Day, Haase informed her that he
would not marry her. No reason for
his change of heart is given in the
complaint. which states that the
complainant wanted him to keep his
promise and marry her"
On the following day, May 25.
Haase. the complaint stated. came to
the home of the witness and talked
things over and informed her that Il
viii make everything all right and l
will be good to you" Thereupon the
pair adjusted their differences and
Miss Day again made ready to keep
her part of the marriage compact.
Haase. apparently. about this
period was in a very changeable
frame of mind for on May 27 he said
to Miss Day that he did not know
whether he would marry her or not, )"
and that the plaintiff told him that
she wanted a direct and definite an
swer as to whether he would marry
her on June is. and that he replied:
Il don't know whether I can marry
you or not"
In conclusion the complaint stated
that at the request of Haase Miss
Day met him in East Orange at $40
p. m. on Wednesday, May 2S. and
that Haase then informed her that
the wedding was all off and that he
would not marry her.
