Everyday Law Cases
HAS A JILTED LOVER
REDRESS AGAINST RTVALf
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Mary Smith and Henry Roberts
were engaged.
A date had been set for the we'd
ding, and Mary had already pur-
chased her trousseau.
No wedding, however, took place,
for Robert suddenly stopped visiting
Mary.
Perplexed. she investigated the
cause of the sudden absence and
learned that Olga Blackwell, a
wealthy Divorce, had attracted the
attention and alienated the affection
of her former fiance. She filed suit
against her successful rival and
charged in her complaint that Mrs.
fully. unlawfully and without justi-
fication. induced Henry Roberts to
break the engagement with her"
BY reason of this wrongful act.
Mary Smith claimed that she had
sustained the loss of an advantageous
matrimonial opportunity; that her
affections had been blighted. and
that as result she suffered great
mental distress and humiliation
She claimed 100000 damages.
The case was heard; Mary came
out of it without finance and with
out the prospective 100000, for the
court said:
There Is no liability on the part
of a third person for inducing the
breach of a marriage contract. even
and wrongfully. To hold a third
of this kind might result in suit
by every disappointed lover against
successful rival"

CHAPTER XIV.
Jessica VS.. Bunny.

Mark knew. of course, that he was
postponing the issue, and that he
ought to have a straight talk with
Bunny as soon as possible. And yet he
hardly knew what TO say to her. The
minute he began to assert his author
ity she would rebel. Not only that.
bue he would lose her friendship. and
a nice easy friendship existed between
them now.
Perhaps it was because she felt that
il he had been going to make any OBJ
jections to her marriage, he would
have done it at the time she had an
nounced her engagement. But. at any
rate. she was fond of her guardian. OF
course, she patronized him as most
young people do. She put him in the
class of old fogies, which irritated him.
But for all that. just as Maude had
said, she was very lovable. And then
there was that look in her eyes, that
look so at variance with the rest of
her features. How could he appeal to
that side of her?
One morning he encountered her just
as she was coming out of her room.
She wore sport things and had a ten
mis- racket in her hand. She smiled at
him gaily.
Hello, guardian"
Hello, Jessica."
why don't you call me Bunny"
she asked lightly. You sound just
like Aunt Maude."
Because" he said evenly and with
sudden inspiration, lin spite of your
'bee-stung' lip you don't look hit
like rabbit. Your eyes look as If you
read poetry"
For a moment a strange expression
stole across Jessica's face, an express
sion that was almost one of startled
guilt.
She swung her racket idly. still star
ing at him, and then she said softly,
do you like poetry"
Love it," he returned. anxious not
to make his response too staid and
serious, and yet he didn't want to be
too fiippant either.

They are no long the weeping and the

Newness Given by Sleeve Changes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Deep gauntlet cuffs have been worn
all the season and they still are con
Sidered smart. Close-fitting Guns are
growing very much in favor Some
times the cuff extends from the elbow
TO the wrist and sometimes 1t is much
shorter. In either case II is quite
close fitting and often extends over
the wrist. covering little OF the hand
as well. These close fitting cuffs have
remained a fashion for the few, be
cause they are extremely difficult to
make use OF in frocks bought and sold
ready made. The settling cuff is
one Of the things that really must
have individual attention from start
to finish.
However, If YOU have last years

THE HOW-THE WHEN-THE WHY
BY ANNE ARDEN.

It's as easy to be right as to be

A reader has written us to inquire
concerning seating arrangements
while motoring. Here is her letter:

Dear Madam: In your very help

also on which side does a lady sit
when riding with a gentleman? Is
the front considered the seat of honor,
as abroad in European countries?
Thanking you for your kind ad-

Sincerely yours,
MRS. j. A."

wait until the host or hostess invites
her specifically to enter the car. How
strange it would seem for the guest
to bolt from the house in an absent
minded manner after, let us say.

If host and guest approach the wait

apparent heSitancy on the part of
the guest about entering. The host
will step to the open door and assist
the guest up the step and into the car
At this point, there must be an indi

than just any available seat. If the
trip is a scenic one and the host or
hostess wishes the guest to have the
advantageous seat as far as view is
concerned, the host will probably say,
with nod;
THE seat in the far corner, please"
No ensuing explanations are to take
place about the corner being the best
seat because of the view. This will
tend to make the guest uncomfort-
able. She will discover, herself, as
time goes on and the view unfolds

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

1t is not the province of this
department to deal in illnesses and
many mothers ask us for medicines
when a child has a cold. which re-
quest we have declined to answer.
But here is the way we would treat
a cold. When a child or an adult
has cold he should be treated as II
he were sick and not be allowed to
run about, injecting other children
and keeping himself i'll much longer
than is necessary.
If cold is taken in the beginning
it should be very easy to cure, but
| If one disregards the slight fever
which accompanies it, and the chilling
and discomfort and persists in stay
| ing at ones regular duties 1t will be
much harder to get rid Of.
When a child has a cold give him
hot bath and put him to bed. Feed
him nourishing but easily digested
foods Give him a mild laxative and
keep him in bed until his cold is
better. 1t is harder to entertain q
child in bed than it, Is to let him run
around and entertain himself, but a
day or two of this treatment will kill
cold, while it may hang on for
weeks the other way.
irritation and one grease is just
about as good as another. Keep the
child warm in bed, but keep the air
in the room fresh. Breathing stale
cir is no way TO get rid of any all
ment.
Fruits and fruit juices; lots of
water to drink; milk or buttermilk;
vegetable purees, juices and broths;
cereal gruels; soft eggs or an egg
beaten into milk or into the cereal.
will supply the child with plenty of
food of the right kind. For the first
day it may be better to give fruit
juices every two hours and vegetable
broths once or twice daily. II the
!, fever goes down and the child feels
better one can start the cereal and
egg in addition to the fruits.
There is a loss of minerals when
there is fever and that Is one reason
that fruit juices and vegetable soups
seem to fill the bill SO well. They
really do make up this loss and the
system is grateful.
The main thing in a cold is to keep
the child quiet, feed him lightly on
foods that will stay his appetite
without being any burden to his sys-
TEN. Keep his bowels functioning
we'll and his body temperature even,
not chilled one moment and over
heated the next, as may well be the
case if the child isn't in bed.
This answers the question often
asked, Shall | take my baby out of
doors when he has a cold" If the
weather is very cold, no, becauses ait is
harder to keep him warm and com.
Portable. Give him plenty of fresh
all all day in the house, but keep this

is quite possible that this condition
would be aggravated when the child
has a cold. Your girl of nearly
years, weighing only Il pounds, which
is an average weight for a year is
evidently not being given as good a
diet as she needs. This would be
one reason for the acidity, accen
tuated by the fact that she probably

Much of this mans converse ton
will consist of Yes, l know, but" No
matter what you are discussing, you
will find him eager and ready. and
he does butt in and take contrary
views He will spout of logic, of
reason, but he rarely has either, and
his remarks about common sense and
good judgment mean little, for he is
not distinguished for these qualities.

This of course, pertains to the ton.
neau of the car, and would be the
proper procedure, especially when a
chauffeur drives the party. If the
car is to have four or more persons
seated in it and a member of the
party is to drive, the front seat may
be considered the choice seat as it is
obvious that much may be seen there
that is not seen from the tonneau.

genial, remembering that converse.

part of the pleasure of the trip.
1t is custom that lady usually
sits at the right of gentleman, but
this, too, may depend on conditions.
1t is safe to say definitely however,
that lady always enters a car first,
but leaves it after, a gentleman, that
he may assist her in and out of the
