Most of the time was spent sewing together the silver sequins in such |t a design as to bring out all the al- |y lurements of Miss Mayfield’s beautl- ful form, and the result is so ravish- | ing that the feminine public in New York, where Miss Mayfield was co- starred with Cecil Lean at the Earl Carroll theater in this happiest, |i smartest and snappiest of all sensa tional revue hits, for ever fivo|c months, voted that if the making | of the gown required a month it would not have been too long. The ~sumptuous costumes, not only of Miss Mayfield, but of every other feminine principal and of the chorus, is only one of the many features which made “Allez-Oop’ the most triumphant of all musical revues yet offered.

The value of the land, exclusive of the \l\uldmg lot, is $4,000, and in build- anting, maintaining, cultivat- ‘lnz nnll operating the vineyard, the {sum of $300 has been spent as fol- tlows: Planting, $300; fertilizer, one |and one-half tons, $135; 15 loads | manure, $52; 56 bags of wood ashes, $56; 800 cedar posts, $330; 32,000 feet of galvanized wire No. 10 at eight cents a pound. In addition, $1,000 has been spent for labor. The annual average yleld of| srapes amounts to five toms. The defendant company in the op- eration of the brick plant near the pluintift's property uses a crude fuel oil containing sulphur in the quan- tity of 0.83 by chemical analysis, and the oil throws off smoke con- taining sulphur gas. In May, 1927, and on August 29, 1927, aécording to the allegation, amoke containing gas was blown from the company's kiln over and on the grape vines in the vineyard when the plants were covered with dew and moisture, with | the result that the sulphur in the smoke united with the moisture on the grape leaves and formed sul- phuric acid, burning the follage and caudng the fruit to fall ground besides injuring the general | vigor of the vines. The use of crude fuel off is| wrongful and a nuisance, it is al- leged, and the plaintiff’s property has been depreciated in value be- cause of it, while the yleld of the | vineyard for the present year has | xl)l'r‘n reduced to not more than halt | a ton. | Attorney 8.
