turn us) at the dress rehearsal or aft
erwards, ami is sued for 1200 damages
by her manager. She replied that he
asked her to dress, or undress. In gar
ments In which her modesty forbade
her appearing. The court has accord
ingly decided that:
Whereas the -spinster Vanora main
tains that the gauze robe which she
was to wear was an Improper costume.
Whereas her manager, on the con
trary, maintains that his costume waa
supplemented by divers accessories,
such as veils and ornaments, of such
a kind that neither the modesty of the
spinster Vanora nor that of the spec
tators could be offended.
Whereas In the circumstances the
court does not possess the needful ele
ments for pronouncing Judgment In
the matter, but must have recourse to
an Inquiry.
For these reasons, therefore, the
court authorizes the spinster Vapor
to offer proof of the following alleged
facts:
(1) The part allotted to her con
sisted merely of a simple exhibition
of herself.
(I) The gauze robe which she waa
to wear Included no accessories as al
leged, neither veils nor adventitious
ornaments.
It is not stated when these proofs
will be offered by Mile. Vanora.
