The final test regarding the sale of al
coholic drinks in Porto Rico will be as
to their intoxicating qualities and not
az to the percentage of alcohol con-
tanned, according to a decision just
handed down by Judge Hamilton in
the federal court here.
The decision was lin the case
brought by the. United States district
attorney against the Porto Rico Brew
ing company for the sale of a quantity
of beer admitted to contain 2 -21 per
cent alcohol as authorized by the leg
islature following the prohibition vote
in 1917.
Judge Hamilton ruled that the dis
trict attorney must prove that the
drink is intoxicating. Many tests of
the BEEF have reported to have been
made by local authorities to ascertain
whether it intoxicates.

And all those who seek their recreation

knew the bride, and all the army folk in
the artillery camps who knew the bride
groom said: How romantic! Wish them
joy"
And just here the story should end with
the old phrase, And they lived happily
ever after" But they didn't.
The truth is that the honeymoon lasted
twelve days. In a fortnight the once
blushing bride called on her lawyer to
learn what could be done to rectify the
mistake of her midnight marriage.
n had been a strange honeymoon. When
al half-past five in the morning, through the
east windows, the dawn poured rOsily and
the room on the second floor OF the Port
Of Embarkation in HobOken echoed with
the chapIain's words. 81 pronounce you

bride, shook hands with the chaplain and
led his willing prisoner down the stairs
and TO the much travelled waiting taXicab.
They drove to the Hotel BiltmOre. He
asked for the bridal suite He received
the best substitute that could be offered
in that smart hostelry. At their noon
breakfast came a messenger boy tapping
on the door Telegram, sir" he SAID,
putting his finger on his cap.
The bridegroom tore open the yellow
envelope and suppressed an impatient
word. The bride, in her pink negligee,
looking like a half-blown rose, came to
his side.
Bad news, Bruce, dear?"

November, was month old when a tcle-
gram came from the bridegroom. 1t was

matrimonial armistice was declared.
The bride went to Detroit. \ peace parley
might or might not ensue. At all events
she wished to meet her relatives-in-law.
There were three days of foregathering
in Detroit. Young Mrs. HigginbOtham met
her in-laws and was charmed by them.
Apparently they were charmed by her.
They took her to the country club and
presented her TO their friends. There were
family dinners and family reunions. Out
wardly all was well. Yet when the bride
returned she had another conference with
her lawyer.

lilies in Detroit, hut l have not married

The lawyer sighed.
On January 1 Lieutenant Bruce Higgin-
botham ceased his instructions in the art
and use of ordnance. He was mustered
out. He wrote his wife: III you will come
to Detroit | will give you home here,
but not one in New York
The brides answer was in effect Too

complimentary to the officer in the in
structiOn service.
II think you are mean, shifty and i'm
possible. When | ask yOu direct ques-
ton you always elude and evade. ! am

The rueful bride understood that it
would be futile to join him on these jour

artillery instructor to be. Thus, for twelve
days Lieutenant HigginbOtham vacil!ated

Love may come at first sight. Mrs Hig-

wisdom and experience think it may and

that it should have a period Of probation.
Much wiser she thinks, is that member of
her profession, a well-known leading wo-
man. who, when she fell in love with
man one season, resisted his impOrtuni
ties to marry her.

UnkiTd observers say that II she had
spent those Summers in New York or on
Long Island or in trips to Europe she
might have married as often as Lillian
Russell or as Nat Goodwin. For they
never lost their courage.
But Miss Hamilton approves the love
on probation plan. 1t is a weak love, she
argues, and shallow rooted, that cannot
survive a Summers absence or a Winters.

Romance Again
Teaches the Lesson
MARRY In Haste;
Repent at Leisure

THE readers of this page will remem-
Der the rapid-fre romance printed
= in these columns a few weeks ago
Of Lieutenant Bruce Higginbotham, L. S.
A., and pretty Miss Gertrude Hamilton,
who has a small part in one of the current
New York roof garden attractions.
Lieutenant Higginbotham saw on the
stage the familiar face and figure of Miss
Hamilton whom he had casually met two
years before in Chicago. Fired by the
same spirit of persistent determination
which sent our troops over the top and
broke the Hindenburg line in France,
Lieutenant Higginbotham determined to
WOO, win and marry Miss Hamilton then
and there. And he did.
But there is another chapter now to
relate. What Lieutenant Higginbotham
so calamity won in his four-hour dashing
matrimonial conquest he lost two weeks
later when his unhappy bride sought the
counsel of her lawyer to lay the founda-
tiOns for divorce. And thus again, even
in wartime amid the glamour of the army
uniforms, is taught the old lesson-"marry
in haste, repent at leisure"
