Miss Nelson took her usual bath, swan
her usual swim in the long green pool and
went into the weighing room.
A telephone to the office Of the COM
pany, followed by a long wait, ELECTED the
information that the officials who had pre-
sided at yesterdays weighing were out.
The inference, also, was that Miss Nelson
had been weighed out.
when they come in Miss Nelson said,
tell them Miss Frances Nelson has been
weighed at the Turkish baths, in the
presence of two witnesses, and that her
weight is 109Z pounds. Goodbye"
A few weeks later Miss Nelson sued
the company for breach of contract The
case was tried in the Supreme Court of
New York City. Justice Henry d. Hotch-
kiss was the judge and twelve good men
and true constituted the jury. The plain
tiff was her own witness, backed by the
manager and attendant of her favorite
bath.
Miss Nelson climbed to the witness
chair. from which her tiny feet swung,
clearing the floor by six inches, turned
her face to the jury, and testified:
81 have not weighed more than ITO
pounds since l signed the contract" she
averred. 81 know, because go to Turkish
baths nearly every day to battle and swim.
When l come out of the bath l always
weigh myself 1t is my invariable custom.
ION the day that was weighed at the
office Of the defendant l was wearing
kitten ear one-piece dress, that had a.
row Of leaden weights sewed around the
hem. They are very heavy. wore around
my, waist heavy silk cord with long ends
and fringe. The cord looked like a rope
and was as heavy"
An official of the company took the
stand.
DO you know anything of the weight
of ladies' garments?" asked Attorney
Damman.

day along the river front or through Gen.
trail Park
To keep her weight at normal, she took
at least three Turkish baths a week.
Three a week were the minimum. And
being a systematic person she kept tabs"
on her weight after each bath.
Later it will be seen how system re-
wards its devotees.
Thanksgiving Day came. Miss Nelson
celebrated 1t with a nicely Drowned tur-
key and reference to her good contract.
Christmas arrived and the little star had
good will toward all mankind in her heart
but wished that firm would show signs
of action. The New Years day came and
went. With 1t came rumors that the firm
was embroiled in difficulties with its
former star; that it was not disposed to
be on with the new luminary until it was
OF with the old. She paid a visit to the
firms offices, where she received such in
timation.
Another visit and some one spoke of
settlement. The little star expressed her
desire to shine. She confessed to a dis
inclination to loaf. Some Of her frater-
nifty might like &c bask in the sunshine of
a contract with no work to do, but she
was not Of the temperament of the tramp.
She craved activity, a release OF her en-
ergies in the form of expression. When
should she begin? The parties of the con-
tracts other part shook their head.
Still another visit by Miss Nelson
to the firms offices. This time there was
talk of settlements.
81 will settle, but not for that sum. You
have kept me from making other con-
tracts. And l have lost royalties on other>
pictures which l might have been making.
You must pay me larger sum than that
or put me to work." was the Nelson ulti-
matum
Shortly after the conference a telephone
message came to Miss Nelson's self-made
nest where she abode alone. 1t was from
the office Of the firm.
when can you come down to see us?"
anxiously questioned the office assistant
Tomorrow at H." joyfully returned
the actress.
AT last, Mary" she said to the
motherly maid Of all work. 81 shall begin
work"
The next morning as the clock struck IL
Miss Nelson smilingly faced the officials
OF the company. The officials looked at
her. They looked at each other. Then
they looked at her again, intently; so in
tently that she felt vaguely uneasy.
81 trust you have been well, Miss Nell
son." began one.
81 have been in excellent health, thank
you" said Miss Nelson, quite unsuspect-
ingly.
You are looking exceedingly well. In
fact-er-somewhat plump" ventured an

0HAKESPEARES famous drama. "The
Merchant OF Venice reaches its
~ climax in the scene in which old
Shylock demands the pound of flesh. The
genius of Shakespeare, which conceived
this dramatic situation, has been paralleled
in large measure by a very curious lawsuit,
Just concluded in the New York courts,
and the verdict of the modern jury was
found precisely upon the same question of
pounds Of flesh.
When Miss Frances Nelson signed her
motion picture contract with photo-drama
company. she did pot particularly notice
one little clause which was destined to
make all the trouble. The clause, brief
and tucked neatly away, almost buried, in
q three-page-long contract, was:
"If the party Of the second part acquires
weight Of more than 40 pounds this con-
tract shall become null and void"
Miss Nelson, puckering her ordinarily
smooth, childlike brow over the other
clauses providing for remuneration, con-
cerned herself but little with the tiny
clause.
1t was a tiny clause, but she was a tiny
person. girl Of twenty-five who had
been addressed all her life by diminutives,
had no apprehension of avoirdupois. Civ
ing mere glance at this fesh-bearing
clause, but having pondered on the others,
she appended her signature to the con-
tract
Atiny clause? All, but just wait. Just
think what unusual problems were con-
tanned within it. What was there about
Miss Nelson which got over" up to ITO
pounds, but which would be lost by the
addition Of one extra pound more? Yes,
even half pound more?
Was it beauty, grace, charm. camera
limitations? If one pound could open such
an abyss between success and failure,
putting it over" and not putting it over"
what on earth kind of a chasm would ten
pounds create? And what is the magic in
no pounds-just that and not an ounce
more?
All this might have occurred to Miss
Nelson, but it didn't.
She signed the contract and TAXED home
at high speed to tell her motherly maid
the good news.
81 have at least a year Of work before
me, Mary" she said. yes, the terms are
good. But what care most for is that
am to have a new line of parts, a kind
that have always wanted to play"
This contract will give me chance for
growth she added.
All. that portentous word Growth"
The little actress, in her pretty. self
made nest, In a high apartment house
where Broadway and the Hudson River
meet, prepared for her years work She
kept herself in the pink Of physical condi-
lion To keep up her circulation and her
rits she walked at least FIVE miles every

No matter why, il Miss Nelson weighed
more than ITO pounds it was broken; If
she didn't, it wasn't.
The jury retired. In a quarter of an
hour there was a rap upon the door of
the jury room. The twelve good men
ard true filed back. took their seats and
looked kindly at the little plaintiff

other, mild Of face and
benign of voice.
Then Miss Nelson
abruptly and violently
remembered that contract clause that had
seemed so negligible.
Il am keeping at my usual weight; a lit
tie below Ito pounds" smiled the star "a
healthy girl cannot weigh much less
Pardon me. You look considerably

suggested the anxious official.
oh, no! was weighed at the Turkish
tbs yesterday. My weight was 10
ounds."
Have you any objection to being
weighed again."
mot at all, dear sir. l will weigh at
the baths this afternoon and telephone
you what the scales say
why not here?"
Because the place to get your true
weight is at bath, where-er-you only
weigh what you do, you know" blushed
the star.
But we have scales in the next
room
Visions OF Lady Godiva and others upon
whose paucity of garments had depended
their future career shot through Miss Mel
sons mind. She rapidly decided that she
had no desire to enlist in their ranks.
With force and directness she was pre-
pairing TO state this decision when
you can go in there and we will call
two of the office girls as witnesses" they
concluded.
Miss Nelson was somewhat appeased but
not complacent.
What difference would it make in my
work il weighed 120 pounds instead Of
11O-or even Ill pounds?" she expostu-
lated.
The reply she received was oddly SINH

and that is Just the way the Bard of Avon
would have made his lines read had he

We'll. Just won't be weighed in such
a matter behind a closed door," she said,
while all the men in this office know what
is going on. will go in and be weighed
as l am with you two as Witnesses"
Miss Nelson stepped upon the scales;
one official adjusted the weights, another
studied them.
"One hundred and twenty.three pounds"
said one.
Precisely" echoed the other.
The scales must be wrong!" exclaimed
Miss Nelson. AT all events l am not my

to the baths and be weighed this afternoon

inquired, gracefully.
"Yes, sir" in grateful tones from the
plaintiff.
Here the jury showed a desire to be

they didn't seem to figure in the case.
