By JACK CAR BERRY, International News Service Special Correspondent. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Aug. 3. "Can the girl who works for a living over reach the heights of social leadership as a rich man's wife? "Or does her association with the hard, practical world of business unfit her for the softness of the country club veranda, the bridge tea of the exclu sive set and as hostess to the "four hundred'"? ' A jury in circuit court here will be asked to solve this age-old problem to write into the books of Blackstoue, In their cob-webbed shelves, the an swer to the problem of "caste." Sues Millionaire Suitor Hiss Landis Grout, twenty-five-year-old stenographer, pretty, vivacious, di minutive, brunette the "Angel Eyes" of Jonathan A. Hrubaker, sixty-three-year-old millionaire grain man, church director and clubman asks the ques tion. It is in the form of a heart-balm suit filed by Miss Grout, in which she le- j mands $50,000 to soothe the aches of, blighted romance. Miss Grout's suit has become the one topic of the country club, the afternoon bridge and is brought up at every social function for discussion, :not alone by feminine society, but by tho social set's 'male contingent as well. In her petition Miss Grout says: Was Working Girl She was a working girl a stenogra pher. In a fellow business man's office the millionaire grain man chanced to see her one day '.'He told me It was my eyes which attracted him that is why he always called me his 'Angel Eyes,' " Miss Grout says That the millionaire pursued her every step from the moment of their meeting until a few hours before the time set for their wedding on May 31, is another allegation of the suit "Miss Grout listened to his plea to resign her position," her suit con tinues. She further says: Gave Her $4000 Ring "The millionaire purchased a J4000 engagement ring. "Iiought her a $4000 coupe. "Purchased the wedding ring, In scribing it: 'To niy Angel Eyes always.' "That he purchased her wedding gown. "Employed the minister arranged for the service in the exclusive Grand Avenue Temple Church, of which the millionaire is a member of the board of trustees "And that he left her waiting at the church." . . In her suit Miss Grout sayg: ' "I was all prepared for my wedding dressed in the things so dear to a girl's heart. But my groom-to-be did not call for me. I telephoned him. 1 was frantic. He told me I would have to postpone the, wedding. I asked why. Says He Repudiated Her . "He said that 'I was Just a working girl' that his set could not accept me until i nad elevated my caste. I "It Is not that the 50,000 I ask will mend my broken heart," Miss Grout ;sald after filing her suit. "My real reason is to avenge the slur of socalled .society against the girl who works. "I am proud of the bit I contributed to the work-a-day wor'd. I glory in the ,Slrl who works no matter what her position in life. I believe her more. fit ted to be a wife than the social drone of the pink teas, whose only labor is the hours she spends under the hand of the beauty specialist. Claimed She Was Beautiful i "If I have beauty, which Mr. Bni haker claimed, it is just tho beauty of the girl who has lived a healthy, happy life a mirror of the happiness a girl finds In the knowledge that she Is con tributing something to the world." 1 Miss Grout claims It will be balm enough for her heart if a.
