Attorney Emanuel klausner then had
an inspiration that changed the whole
trend Of the case.
"po you love Miss Leder?" he asked.
"Sure do" was the reply. III

Justice Davies looked surprised.
Then he called Miss Leder.
"You hear what he says? Do you
lone him" the judged asked.
Eyes, judge, il he means what he
says | er that is, know | couldn't
love anybody else" she said.
OF course, there was no reason 20
continue either breach of promise
suit or compel the return of the pres
cnts after that. So Justice Davies
said he would continue the case until
Thursday to give the two an oppor-
tunity to readjust their plans to their
new views.

substituted for the wedding bells. But
Eva Leder and Charles Eisen decided.
on the eve Of their wedding, that the
schatchen was wrong when he picked
them for each other and assured them
they would be happy ever after.
The wilful young pair sent the rabbi
away, summoned their lawyers and in
formed their guests that they could
appear as witnesses IN breach of
promise suit and another action for
the return of numerous gifts that had
changed hands while their eyes were
blinded by love.
That accounts for suit pending in
the Supreme Court entitled Leder
versus Essen, breach of promise, dam
ages $4,000. and another suit N the
Second Branch Municipal Court en-
titled Essen versus Leder, for s645.
But it does not account for the action
IN Justice John X. Davies's court Mon
day afternoon.
The court had reached the point Of
taking evidence in Eisen's suit and
had heard numerous witnesses support

A team certainly couldn't get up that

One look at the hill was discouraging.

But Fred threw her into second and
sped the engine up. She walked right
up and up without groan 1t was a

Fred ran us down and then swung
over to the foot of Abbey Hill.
To look up at that snow-covered
plateau made us think of pictures of the
Balkans. We thought, of course, Fred
would slip her into second and let 1t 60
at that. But no, Fred slipped her into
high and sank the acceerator button to
the floor board.
She hit the first turn at twelve miles
an hour and twisted her way up one
turn after another, getting faster and
faster until finally passing the last turn
we were all hanging on to our hats.
We passed the inn at the top going
80 miles an hour, and Fred might just
as well have locked her in high with
Yale lock at the start, because he never
touched the gear shift lever.
We'll, we came back to the inn and
got out and looked her over The little
