NEW YORK, October 6.-Clarence
Buddington Kelland, answering $3,313
suit brought against him for clothing
sold to his wife, said in Supreme Court
yesterday he intended to defend the
suit becarSe these people ought to be
discouraged from piling up bills on
women who do not realize, while they
have no cash to pay for it. that they
are getting themselves into deep obliga-
tions"
Justice Hating denied an application
by the plaintiff, Hattie Carnegie, Inc,
for a summary Judgment striking out
the novelistS answer and ruled that
triab,e issue as to his liability was pre-
Sented

Mrs. Kellands purchases were made
between February 7, 1881, and February
27. 1882 In denying liability the au-
thor said that during that period ne

$1,000, which was sufficient for her

reasonableness of the average male.
it has hit on something and some
one who is likely temporarily, to
assuage all of the trouble.
This some one IS George Raft.
Mr. Raft. in the opinion of produc-
ton executives is IAN unusual
case" He presents that apparently
out-of the-ordirary type who is ap-
proved of as much by gentlemen as
he is by the ladies' At least, that's

nor too dour for the females. who
will be a wow as far as the public
is concerned
Mr. Raft has proved himself to be
qualified. Although the company
started off by exploiting him as the
1882 Valentino, they buried this
publicity in a hurry when they
realized that this might not sit
well with the male portions of the
audience. They discovered, then,
that he was a braWny man. with a
mighty chest, and all the attributes
of a beef eater. This made them
glad For they realized that while
the slipperiness of his coal-black
hair was great asset as far as
feminine affection is concerned, if
he was not to be plain enemy to

good haircut. So, the discovery that
he could knock an average man
down and scowl and be angry pleased
them nightly.
Just to prove all this they
plunged him into Might After
Night" with Mae West-and the re-
suits are highly satisfactory. Miss
West is said not only to be a knock
cut in this film, but Raft retains all
of the virtues mentioned above-and
gentlemen can go safely to see him
without fear of having to dislike
him at sight.
