One month, Kay declares he spent $500
telephoning her. And the airmail postage on
one Of his gift-boXes of cakes. cookies lolli-
pops and chewing gum amounted to $3.50.

good friends they saw so much Of each
other" one of her sisters ingenuously re-
marked.
On one occasion he took her and her sister,
Mrs. Lila Patterson, a shopping trip to
New York When they visited a famous cou-
turiere's. she says he repeatedly waved aside
inexpensive dresses. saying, mo, not high
enough" And so the bill climbed to S4..

He himself testified to one Of the ex-
penses of the trip, little matter of two to
three thousand dollars, lost while playing gin
rummy with Kay He said he had to let her
win she wouldn't play with him.
In New York he would often serenade her
with love songs Of his own composing But,
according 10 her the effect spoiled be-
caGse he kept hitting sour notes on the piano
rather symbolcally.
She also attributed other sour notes TO
him, non-musical ones. For instance, he never
really made love TO her she says not the kiss
ing and hugging kind OF love The only time
he ever kissed her was when he gave her the
Sc 600 sparkler- and then it was a fatherly
sort of kiss. on the cheek.
But it was not in this respect alone that
ne fell short of being an ideal lover, Kay says
Indeed to Judge from some of the samples OF
his conversation, which she has reported
you'd never suspect him of being lover at
all.

wasn't smart for turning him DOWN., another,
that she wasn't pretty, still another-that she

In one OF their last conversations. she
says he told her that he would spend 500 600
To ruin her-or in other words tenth OF
what he was prepared TO spend TO marry her.
BY way of rebuttal, perhaps Kay says she
told him that she wouldn't marry him because
he was too old, too high strung and nervous.
and besides I don't love you" Moreover, she
called his love letters boring and is quoted
as saying:
