 The fortune teller is very good in her line, according to her patrons and nation for her customers. It is told that she makes the performance weird by looking into the wedding rings of the women and when a male desires to have his future told she performs by staring him in the face.
 She does not profess to be able to tell ones name but she relates ones history and future. She tells a zvor1 an the number of children she has and the temperament of each. , She tells the men about their business re- verses and their successes.
 It is said that several detectives from nearby cities have applied to her for aid in solving some of ther most perplexing cases and each time she has supplied them with informa- tion. Several notorious criminals have been rounded up through her tips" it is said.
 It was also learned that she has given several hints on the stock mar ket and it is understood that many Bridgeporters have made money through her assistance.
 During the war it was almost inn possible to get sitting with this woman and at one time 25 people have waited to gain afl audience with her. Young girls from the residen- tial section have been known to go to her to secure information about their future natrim onial affars

.CAMPBELL'SL0vE BUT ADMIRATION
 DECLARES BEAUTY
Mrs. Margaret Pratt, roug h Attorney, Tells How Engineer Tilted Her.

Charles L. Campbell, Boston chem- ical engineer, and a director Tn the P. B. Badger & Sons Co, of Boston, who is being sued for S100.000 by Mrs Margaret P. Pratt. formerly of this city and beautiful widow of the late Dr. Charles R. Pratt, a noted sur egon of the city, thought that the beautiful young society widow was the "onIy girl" the dearest girl the ''Iivest girl'' and the ''loveliest.'' '' But he soon changed his mind anS thought that he wouldn't marry the former Bridgeport nurse.
 Now she's suing him for breach of promise, a bill in equity having been registered with the clerk of the Su- pcrtor court of Suffork county. Mis- taken admiration is given as the cause of Campbelrs failure to marry Mrs. Pratt.
 Mrs, Pratt, once nurse in the Canadian army, said that Campbeus s love cooled imm ediately after he an nounced their engagement. He gave as his reason that he had mistaken admiration for love-"
 He said that he mistook admira- tion for love-" Mrs. Pratt said through her attorney, to a. Boston newspaper man.

 "I met him in 1919, shortly before I went over seas. He came out to my house in Stratfield road, Bridgeport, and was introduced to my friends. Our engagement was announced at a
 
 Eve, 1919. There was a dinner and dance at the Algonquin Club, and a large number of guests were present I admired him so much, and was so proud of him, I cannot understand even now how he could be such a cad.
 After the engagement, his letters grew less frequent. I attributed it to carelessneSS. When New Years Eve came again, we were invited to my sisters in Greenwich. I asked him why he did not write more often and he assured me it was his business, and that he loved me as much as ever. His letters grew still more in- frequent. On October 11th the stun ming blow came.
 "I had written to him on Sunday, which was the 9th, that I was leav ing for North Carolina on wednes- day, and that it was absolutely neces- sary that I see him at my New York resid dence, 225 West Seth street The long lapse between his letters and his growing coldness frightened me so ] wrote: Meet me at the Beltmore.
