An Odd Breach of Promise Case By EUNICE BLAKE .00000X0M)00000()00(X0K00(h100000000)00000 THE SOCIAL WORLD 1 I BY VIRGINIA SOUTHERN j 0-0-CO00000000-CKOCH00M000 'Tis a fragrant retrospection, for the loving thoughts that start Into being are like perfume from the blossom of the heart; And to dream the old dreams over is a luxury divine When my truant fancies wander with that, old sweetheart of mine. James Whitcomb Riley. The one feature of the week that claimed special attention was the graduation exercises at the Opera House last Friday evening. The rarest flowers from the gardens were contribut ed in such large quantities that as they were being taken up the scene resembled a parade at the Rose Festival, and as the class of 1914 drew the portiers of school life a?ide and stepped into life's school, the many floral gifts made a veritable flower garden from which to begin their journey. MUSICAl EVENT Musical devotees are anticipat- inc much real em'ovment from the large benefit concert at the Methodist Church Parlors this evening. Under the pains-taking direction of Mr. Mcintosh the program throughout will be varied and most pleasing and promises to be held amid charm ing surroundings. Many messages of sympathy and condolence have been find ing their way to the Hooper home and all purely social functions have been abandoned because of the general bereavement felt. MRS. THOMAS HOSTESS Mrs. A. L. Thomas was a re cent hostees to the fourth of the series of C. 1. C. teas. The Thomas home presented a charming appearance when the ladies had gathered for the after noon and Mrs. Thomas proved a most delightful hostess adding more real enjoyment to the ben efit teas that are proving to be such pleasant events. At the close of the afternoon hours the guests were served to a delicious luncheon. ATTEND CLASS PLAY Tuesday evening a merry par ty, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Mcintosh, Dr. and Mrs. Mclntire, Mrs. Paddock, Mr. Macy and Miss Bohannon, motored to Mon mouth to see "As You Like It" which was attractively presented by the seniors on the college campus. After the drama was over the Independence party was enter tained with a "midnight feast" in the "Dorm" apartments of Misses Butler and Dunsmore. RICHARDSON'S ENTERTAIN A large party motored out to the country home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Richardson last Tues day evening and spent a few hours most pleasantly with cards. The series of games were fol lowed with a most tempting luncheon. TENNIS POPULAR Tennis enthusiasts are filling all the available courts to capac ity now. Perhaps tht most en thusiastic player in the city is Mr. Young, of the Spaulding Lumber Co. He can always match a game and exclusive of business hours can be found on the campus courts from early morning until darkness obscures the ball and we are informed that he always has a large num ber of sets to his credit. C. I. C. TO BEAUTIFY After a slight suspense in af fairs, the members of the C. I. C. assembled in their club parlors on Monmouth street last Satur day afternoon. Our generous minded citizen, Hon. Verd Hill, had proposed turning over the management of the lot east of the S. P. station to the ladies who are always full of civic pride and eager for a snot to beautify, if they would make such improvements on this lot. They accented his proposition and will begin at once to improve the lot and hope to have an at tractive little park to welcome the thousands of tourists who will come our wav in 1915. In fact they hope to have it so very attractive, with flowering shrubs, greenery and fountains that thf.' passers by will want to linger here for awhile and maybe for all time. At the meeting Saturday after noon, expressions of thanks were tendered to the Odd Fellows. Spaulding Lumber Co., Miller & Kanne, Mr. Jacobson, and all the ladies who contributed their time and best energies to the success of the lunch rooms which were conducted during the races and carnival. These lunch rooms were well managed and were certainly a necessary adjunct. To Mesdames K. C. Eldridge and Crosby Davis, who had di rect supervision of the eating; places, much credit falls. ANNOUNCEMENT Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Mary Boiler to Mr. Charles Quinn on Tuesday, June 9, 1914, at Portland, Ore gon. Mr. and Mrs. Quinn are at home in Independence. LULL IN CLUB-DOM Practically no meetings have been held in the women's clubs recently. The members were busy several days assisting in re ceiving the out-of-town guests then following in close proximity. Iiosaria and the Grand Chapter meeting in Portland beckoned and such a large number re sponded that very little time was left for the ordinary routine of club business. t I Mill I I I " ittmmtwntinim Meals served at all Hours The Best Meal th Best Service Regular Dinner 25c The Palace Cafe E.

If snj one attempted to Injure him be would not nut ud an oiu light. He would think out a plan to clrcuinveut bis op ponent or undermine bltn-in other words, put hlin Into a position to "hang himself by bis own sets. If be de aired to confer a favor ou any one he anniii en auout It In a way at first to cause the person be favored to think that he was about to do blm an Injury. No one could tell from what he said what he woaut. Ue wss continually coufesslug to faults that he did not possess. "If you only knew me." he would say, "you would find me a very mean man." When It was announced that George Trover was engaged to Kstelle Garrett her most intimate friend said he bad won her br telling her that there was something on his conscience for which lie wns repentant ami. which was an unbearable burden t him In this way he won her sympathy Then he confessed that Ids crime was In loving her Instead of one he whs In duty bound to love. The result whs a be trothal. Not long after the engagement Ks telle met Coorge on the street walk ing with a young woman plainly but neatly dressed. The girl was talking with great earnestness and looking np Into George's face I" a way Kstelle did not like When George caught the eye of his lliunee looking at him intently and severely he started Then he forced a smile, bowed and passed on Kstelle went hiiine and wrote htm h note breaking their engagement. This was not the proper thing for tier to do She should have Hint called for on el planatlon She waited several days for a reply to her note coniniunlcntlnt! her decision, but heard not a word li.v this time she lind come to under stand thnt her lover was a bit peculiar and wondered what he was going to do. Surelv lie would not fall to take some notice of the breaking of the en Kiigement. And yet. considering that start he gave when he had met her. Indicating guilt, might he not lie no ashamed as to let the matter go hy de fault? Another consideration came Into her head- that, having found a new love, he might desire to he off with the old one. I'.ut in this case wiiuld lie not be likely to notify her that he accepted Ids dismissal? Finally George's reply (nine. Arid what was it? A note from nil attorney announcing that on behalf of George C. Trover. Ksip. he hud begun proc eedings against her for breach of promise. Kstelle read the note with amaze ment. Her Hist thought was that on no Hi-count could there ever again be between them auy Bueh thing as love and that she would never again notice s man who had trented her In so ex traordinary a fashion, it took some time for her to see her true position. She had accepted George, his presents, much of Ids time, and to pieuse her he had changed Ills occupation. She had broken the engagement on seeing her (lance walking ou the street with an other girl She had no evidence that this girl had supplanted her. It began to appear to her that she had acted hastily An uncle of hers was an at torney, mid she went Immediately to his otilr-e. There she told blm the story and asked his advice. You me placing me In an unpleas ant position," he said, shrugging his shoulders "George came to uie and asked me to bring this suit. I declined to have anything to do with It, and be put his case In other bauds. 1 don't see now bow I can take yours." "lint you oan advise me, uncle, can't yon?" "Certuinly." "Well, what do you think of a man who will bring a suit of breach of promise against a woman?" "Men and women botb come under i he law." "fiiii be force uie to marry him?" -No He Is not trying to do that lie Is merely claiming payment for a broken heart." "Broken heart! I don't believe he lias a heart, fan he get damages?" "Thnt depends upon the Jury. I fan r from what you have told me he can prove bis case. The Judge will prob ably liistrmt the Jury to find for the plalntl!!. and they will award a dam age of 1 .cent." What: Insult me by considering my love worth no more than that!" "No. It would mean tbut George Is in the right, you. of course, being Id lie wrung Hut they wouldn't like to punish a woman for sending a map away ev-ii If there were no legal rea son for bet action. They might Rlvs t I Hi damages for his present to you." "lie can have them all back. What shall 1 do?" "Let me telephone George to come bere and settle the matter oat of court" She assented to this, and George ap peared. "George." said the uncle, "who wss that girl Estelle met you walking with?" "A y oung woman I was taking to the office of a friend of mine to whom I had applied In her behalf for a posi tion." "Nothing between yon?" 'Certainly not" "Then yon two had better make up" And they did. When George tells the story to guests bis wife says she forgave blm bec ause he didn't know any better. Birds In WmUr.
