Everyday Law Cases
Does NelC Promise to Pay Re-
Uire Debt Discharged BY
Bankruptcy
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Unfortunate investments had forced
Thomas Black into bankruptcy. His
debts discharged. he entered business
anew and several years later he was
once more financially comfortable.
One of Blacks debts that had been
discharged by bankruptcy was that of
$500 he had borrowed from a friend
Ralph Tennyson. Ralph had felt the
loss of his. money keenly.
While with friend. Ralph encoun.
tered Black when prosperity had again
begun to smile on the latter, and
much to his joy he heard Black say:
Ralph, l am going to pay the $500
owe you in a few weeks
1t was in vain, however, that Ralph
awaited receipt of the money. When
it appeared that Black had no inten-
ton of carrying out his promise,
Ralph sued him. Black defended on
the ground that the debt had been dis.
charged by his bankruptcy and there
was no legal consideration to bind
his new promise.
But Black found that he had revived
his debt and a judgment was enter.
ed against him in accord with the
following widely observed rule:
Although a person is released from
debt by his discharge in bank
ruptcy. yet he may restore it by a
new promise to pay the specific debt.
The moral obligation to pay, coupled
with the fact of the prior legal obliga-
ton. is sufficient consideration for
such a new, expressed promise The
new promise, however, must generally
be express, clear, distinct and I'M

Tony was furious when he saw that
the morning papers carried an account
of the pro, Die divorce between the
woods. How had it leaked out? lie

e Nevertheless, when he had walked
H., on Sunday morning to find himself
pledged to a married woman, with all
the details of divorce to go through,
he was rather appalled, at what he had
done.
But then Wood would be decent. He
seemed like singularly nice cnap.
Tony could understand. however, that
he wasn't the type to understand DOR
othy. Too wrapped up in business
details.
A VOL an OF Dorothy's type needed
q great deal of love and petting. She
WAS nothing but q child in her under
standing of life.
That afternoon he left the Office to
10 and see her at her apartment in
Gramercy Park. She had telephoned
him frantically that morning. Ted had
kidnaned the baby! She was nearly
frantic. Reporters had besieged her
Tony had telephoned to the nearest
florists and sent flowers. He had told
he that he would be up that after
noon.
AS he strolled along Broadway to-
ward the newsstand on the corner, he
was grave, preoccupied. On impulse
he had asked Dorothy Wood to marry
him and he intended to go through
with it. But for the first time in his
life he did not feel that air of free
dom that he always experienced as he
swung along. The knowledge depress
ed him.
At the corner, the late papers were
being arranged on the little stand. His
eve caught the headlines on the front
page of the Bulletin. Dorothy's pic
ture leaped out at him. Tony never
read the. Bulletin, but instantly he
bought copy of 1t.
Then he hailed taxa and proceeded
to devour the story.

THE DAILY

Saturday, June II.

Tomorrow Is rather threatening
day in planetary direction, according
TO astrology, which finds conditions
menacing to many activities.
There is an aspect exceedingly I'M

military movements appear to be
foreshadowed
In the United States training for
the Army, Navy and air forces may
be advocated more widely than for
merly, but the seers read that this
country is to be the haven for war
relief rather than the center OF any
defensive maneuverS.
Quarrels should be avoided with
extraordinary care under this dlrec-
ton of the stars, which is exceedingly
ominous for domestic harmony.
Divorces Will continue to increase
if astrologers prophesy correctly.
Women may be especially unfortu-
nate in financial matters and they
should be cautious in business deal
ings.
Tomorrow is not a propitious day

Persons whose birth date it Is

Pretty Trifes.

A modern costume is made up Of a
lot of trifiing but inexpensive acces-
series which any girl could easily
learn to make for herself. I would
suggest that she choose some one
color or combination of two colors
and make up the following accessories
which she can wear with any Of her
costumes.
The most important thing is the
choice of colors which should bring
out her eyes. I'd suggest green and
blue combined If she has gray eyes
with either of these tints in them,
royal blue if her eyes are blue, golden
brown for light brown eyes and a
combination of yellow and brown for
deep brown eyes.
The accessories are: A large scarf

In planning warm weather diets,
do not forget that we need as much
energy in the warm weather as in

ergy in a form especially adapted to
warm weather digestions. 1t has
been established that extreme Of

with this fact in mind.

Broken arches. however. may lead in
directly to undernourishment. The
large nerves of the feet are closely
connected with those of the stomach
and when anything interferes with
the balance of the food, as in the case
of fiat feet. digestion and, therefore,
nutrition will inevitably suffer.
