BAD CHECK GAME
(Bnnt News Scrrlc.)
Topeka, Kan., Dec. 11. When a wo--
, man lets it be Known tnat she oDjects ,
to babies it is sufficient ground for the ,
man to refuse to make an engagement I
and the woman cannot recover for :
breach of promise. This is the decis
ion of the Kansas supreme court in the
Suit of Mary V. Reynolds against J.
Wilson Curry, appealed from Jefferson
county.
According to the records, Curry
rtttM nnnrt in Unrv V? v n rt M Ma S.r1
B02T1S TelPflTJITTI T)f;imm mltted In the lower court' that he called
"te ,r , ,7 t V often and stayed late at the home of
the woman and that he really cared
! for her as a companion. He talked
marriage to her many times, but when
he found that she had said she never
wanted to be a mother he refused to
make an engagement for marriage. Me
quit calling at the home and later Miss
Reynolds brought a suit for breach of
promise.
The court held that no particular
form of words was necessary for an
engagement and that simply discussing
the marriage relation was not to be
expressed contract of marriage, and
when Curry had found that Mary Rey
nolds objected to children there was
nothing to prevent his stopping his at
tentions then and there.
