 accepted as the standard in appraisements of women's hearts, private individuals have taken that responsibility upon them selves. In the estimation of women who have hearts to be broken, or lost, or mis- laid, or surrendered voluntarily to the wrong party, the name of the Marquis of Northampton deserves a prominent niche in the Temple of Justice.
 When the beautiful young English ac- tress, Daisy Markham, sued him for breach of promise of marriage, that nobleman promptly adjusted the matter out of court It was famous love affair." Northamp- ton well knew that he possessed the young woman's heart. He wished to marry her, but family considerations influenced him against that course. So, in lieu of the woman's heart which he had accepted, he settled upon her the handsome sum of $25OOOO.
 It would seem that women themselves ought to be good judges of what their hearts are worth. In nearly every in- stance, however, the courts appear to have considered them in the light of prejudiced appraisers. For example, Miss Garmong, who receives the record award of $116,- 900, declared in her petition that her heart was worth $25O,O0O.
 Is the heart of baroness worth more than the heart of an ordinary, untitled woman? In the estimation of the Baron- ess Ursula Barbara von Kalinowsky, of Vienna, such appears to be the case. De- claring that she had surrendered her heart to Millionaire Michael J. Hurley, of St. Louis, in vain expectation of marriage she petitioned a New York court to make him pay her $2,500,OOO for the same That claim being somewhat remarkable, the Baroness described the lost article in deposition of 76,000 words. It is doubt full if broken heart had ever before been so thoroughly embalmed in literature
 Unfortunately for the present inquiry into the value of woman's heart, no verdict exists in the baroness's case. She neglected to be present when the case was called for trial, and the judge dis missed it. Still, however. there stands for what it is worth-her own appraise- ment of the value of baroness's heart.
 It will be observed from the foregoing that estimates of the value of woman's heart cover a bewilderingly wide range from $10000 up to $2,500,000, with a private award of $25O,O0O and one jury's appraisement at $116,OOO ratified by a court order to pay that amount. Other court awards range from $2,OOO down to six cents It is plain that the subject has not yet received the dignity of a fixed principle. The victims of lost, strayed or stolen hearts exert personal appeals varying in intensity-and juries are but human.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-02-21

As has been indicated some judges seem unable to think Of woman's heart as material asset at all Does its all legged fraudulent owner owe her borrowed money? Has he failed to send those presents back? Has she paid out real money for rousseau which is now of no use to her? Had she paid for the feast at the wedding that was not to be? Why, yes-in that case certainly the lady should be reimbursed by the gay de- ceiver. But as to her heart, doesn't she
 still carry it under her yet fair bosom? Aren't there other potential bridegrooms as good as the one whom she had thought she had captured, but was mistaken? If you fail to strike bargain for your horse with the first conner, does that necessarily mean that other purchasers do not existg
 On the whole, judges and juries appear to recognize that womans heart, viewed as material asset, is in a class by itself. It has psychological attributes which ren- der it peculiarly delicate and liable to be permanently damaged, or killed outright, by rough handling. Theoretically-and very often in practice-it can be surren. dered but once. Once surrende. ed. it can.

m LACING a cash value upon the
 hearts of women is one of the re-
 finements of modern civilization.
 Prior to the First Crusade and the advent of the Troubadours-who were true lovers as we'll as poets and singers the idea of woman's heart having the been laughed to scorn. Women were simply the chattels of their male possess ors, and if their hearts did not enter into the bargain, so much the worse for them
 Nowadays every fair-ninded person is free to admit that the heart of the average woman is her most precious possession Marriage is the vocation of her first choice, and--except in comparatively rare in- stances-she will marry only where she places her love. It is an affair of the heart, and when she has given her heart she has given her all. She has invested her only asset, and if the investment turns out badly she has nothing left for a sec ond venture. -. . s
 All the modern poets and philosophers are in accord on this point. Gradually the courts came to their way of thinking, and so 1t has come to be that if a woman can prove that her heart has been won from her under false pretenses, she can bring the guilty party before judge and jury and recover damages in cash.
 That legal principle has long been es- tablished. A woman's heart has legiti- mate value in money or it's property equivalent. There remains only one i'm portant difference of opinion-how much is woman's heart worth, in money?
 Recently jury in the State of Maine broke the records of all courts in breach of promise cases with an award of $116,- 900 to Miss Elizabeth Leona Garmong on testimony that she had surrendered her heart unavailingly to John Brooks Hen- dersOn, Jr., son of the multi-millionaire United States Senator from Missouri. The nearest approach to this award by court verdict was made by an English jury in 1884, when the heart of Miss Fortescue, an actress, was adjudged to be worth $5O,00O, which amount the Viscount Gar moyle was ordered to pay over to her.
 A few years ago a Massachusetts jury appraised the value of Miss Marion Orrs heart at $43,000. in Kansas Miss Martha Smiths heart-forever lost to her -cost its destroyer $25,o00 by order of the court.
 MT. Justice Erlanger, in the City Court of New York tried two broken heart cases in 1911 which appeared at the time to es- tablish fiat rate" for women's hearts. To both Miss Henrietta French and Miss Fanny Liebenau, whose hearts had been mistakenly surrendered, he awarded $10,- 900 cash. This was the current price for

handed $2,500,000 the rule was applied in both directions tho heart-stealer was . muti-millionaire, and the heart was the heart of a baroness.
 But the main question is not to be olouded by instances where alleged loss of heart is a pretext for dipping into rich mans pocket. In the record-making case of Miss Garmong jury of stern New Englanders saw in the witness chair the average woman type-a country-bred girl who had fallen in love with and sur rendered her heart to the rich man who had courted her society. They knew--as most mature men know, or should know that every girl who loves blindly trusts the man who has won her heart. child was in evidence as proof of the love and trust of this complainant
 A rich man had done this. This jury of New Englanders, descendants of the original Puritans, evidently saw no reason why the recreant captor of Miss Gar mongs heart should not compensate her in keeping with his ability to do 80. The absence of written promise of marriage influenced neither jury nor judge. The judge ruled:
 "A contract of marriage differs from other contracts. It need not be in writ ing. It may be proved by the conduct of the parties. It may be the result of a few words spoken on few occasions. It might be evidenced clearly by acts and looks of the parties"
 The only question involved was Miss Garmong's wasted heart and the amount of money that should be awarded to her as compensation for that irreparable loss.
 Was the verdict excessive? Was 1t in- adequate?
 Who shall say. definitely, what a wom- ans heart Is worth?

not be taken back--it is total loss to its original owner.
 From early girlhoDu on to womanhood her whole life has been absorbed in prep arations for the fortunate surrender of her heart. It is something that she would not think of selling-could not sell--for any amount of money. Women's hearts are never sold. When she sells herself her heart never is part of the bargain. When she surrenders it the terms of that surrender never vary; she gives heart for heart, or believes that she does so. If she is deceived her vocation Is gone, her ca reer for which she has prepared herself with such devotion is ended.
 That is the situation with the great multitude of women. All their thoughts have been fixed upon their proper destiny of love and marriage since the day when they nursed their first rag doll. These are the women's hearts in question.
 What are they wcth, in dollars and cents?
 The crude judgment that they are worth what they will bring has certain bear ing on the case. When a woman sur renders her heart to a poor man--who has failed to give his own heart in return it matters little what her heart is worth, for compensation is beyond her reach. Poor men who are recreant in this way. therefore, are rarely brought to book. The hearts which they have stolen or broken are total loss to their original owners.
 The cynical observer will remark that the richer the heart-stealer invariably the greater the value placed upon the stolen heart when the case is brought into court. But why not? Had not that heart surrendered itself with greater expecta- tions than ordinary hearts have?

mander of the navy yard received request from
the commander of the Prinz EiteI Friedrich that
the men be allowed to cultivate a small strip of
land near the interned ships. 1t is a part of a
tract acquired several years ago by the navy de-
and which mammoth drydock is to be
built The request granted.
A couple of acres were turned over to
the Germans. Among the crew farmers, who
understand intensified farming. The soil of the
tract is Of the richest variety. Using spades in
stead of plOws and industriously welding hoes,
these men quickly worked a transformation Cab
bage, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets and
turnips were planted. In another thirty days it
is declared that the crop of vegetables will be
sufficient to provide for all of the wants of the
Germans for the rest of the summer and far into
next fall
When the Kronprinz Wilhelm interned there
was an epidemic of beri beri to check. More
epidemic is practically over.
Early after the internment according to re-
ports received from the navy yard, and upon the
request OF the commandant of the yard, the sail
ors of both cruisers lined up by their OFF,
GERS and given instructions that in converse
ton off the ship strict neutrality must be OBJ
served. They were urged not to talk of German
aspirations, Of German successes, and above all
warned to avoid Dragging. They were warned
that such conduct would probably lead to diff
culties with those who favor the allies and would
mean punishment and withdrawal of shore lib
erty These instructions have been rigidly ad-
hered to by the German sailors.
