"VAMP" LEGALLY DEFINED

Justice Dixie of the supreme court
of Brooklyn handed down a decision
the other day which affords a legal
definition of "vamp" and of n vamp's
limitations under the law. The case
on trial was one in which the hus-
band, a young, confiding doughbOy
returned from France was made the
victim of the wiles Of one seemingly
worthy of the title vamp as ex-
empIifed by Theda Bara.
The judge remarked that he had
not been able to find Il definition of
the word "vamp" in any of the die
tionaries and said:
But if the word can be defined as
a female in pursuit OF the male,
whose physical attractions are as
marked as her moral qualities are
missing then | may properly term
the woman in the case a 'vamp.' The
result of her. calculating activities
has resulted on the one hand in tho
II vi q Nti :
credulous young man, who through
her has seen his little fortune shat
tered and his hopes of happy married
life destroyed, and on the other hand
the serious financial loss that must
follow if the plaintiff in this action is
to salvage what remains of his de-
pleted property-thc two mort@a ges
now in the possession of the de-
PENDANT.
The common law doctrine of the
agency of the wife for her husba nd
exists where the wife purchases
, necessities for the household, but
ceases when she makes such pur-
chase upon her exclusive credit il

must be of a class that would ordi

station in life of the husband and
wife. The evidence herein conclusivelS
shows that Ryon furnished album

expected: in fact he was 'hIed white

merchandise will need to he careful,

he delivered nearly two years BEFORE
his death at the annual dinner OF the
American Bar Association he maze
the efollowing comments: "Cndoubt-
edly our forefathers sought by the
government which they created 10
save lis from the misery and anguish
which had. as a necessary cohse-
ouence. ever resulted from the des-
potism of the one over the many or
the tyranny of the many over the
few. To this end their purpose was
to make human freedom perpetual p9
guaranteeing the great rights OF lie,
liberty and property to each and
every individual, and thus secure
those precious blessings to all under
the free and representative govern
ment which they established.
Those Fathers observing the WIS
dom, the courage. the fidelity the IN
tegrity. and the restraint by which
the law of the land had been admin
istered through lawyers and courts,
they made that law as construed and
applied by the courts in justiciable
controversies the final sanction by
which the powers conferred were in
the ultimate sense TO be tested when
called into play
Well may we ask and conclude
with him: who can say that the
Fathers were mistaken in the face OF
the mighty nation which has dcvei-
oped under the institutions which
they created?" We may comprehend
with him how this wonderful instru-
ment contributed to the marvellous
work of restoring this country after
the Civil War. He says: Indeed sc
completely was this accom- plished
that, not only are the wounds occa-
stoned by the Civil War fully healed
but the minds of all were turned
away from the bitterness and con-
f1icts of the past TO the great and
perfect rights which were enjoyed"
And who is that one who would
have us destroy all this which has
been achieved?
