f NEW STYLES IN BOF P. CASES, The Fair Plaintiff Doesn’t Weep and Tell of a Shattered Heart Nowadays, but Produces an Up-to-Date Contract. ‘ | i { t ‘ON COMMERCIAL BASIS NOW. bot 7% Fender Letters for Sympathetle Jury Are Back Numbers Under the Improved Method of Separating Base Man and His Cash. ‘Two cases on the “hort cause” cal- endar of the Supreme Court for trial “his week are reminders that this is age of advancement and improve- ment, even in breach of promise actions. They are the sults of Dorothy Agan Mason against Edmund T. Mason, the well-known Oriental exporter, and that of Isabel Vance against Edward Al- Rhonse Du Vivier, the wealthy club- tran, bon vivant and importer of wines: In each there is the element of breach of promise, but presented in what the salesman might call “a new and at- tractive form.” ‘The fair plaintiff in an ordinary breach ‘ of promise suit declares with sad face and weeping eyes that the fickle de- fendant wooed and won her heart, and > then, like a base deceiver, spurned the heart which had been won and left it Dleeding’ at his feet. She lays in the hand of her lawyer to be read to the jury the epistolary outpourings of the perfidious man by which she hopes to prove that he did propose and did break the engagement. Fewer Tears in New Style. The inventor of the twentleth century style of action thought of a better way. He tells the jury of an affair when Love, growing fickle, boldly dickered with a poor girl's heart on a commercial basis, and the maiden, sensibly realizing that a dollar in the hand is better than @ love that Is fled, accepted the situa- tlon and surrendered her husband in future for so much per week for the Test of her bereaved life, “Dorothy Agan Mason" files her’'com- plaint through A. H. Hummel, but Ed- mund T, Mason answers ‘Dorothy Agan,” Ignoring the name so like his own which is in her complaint. She sues for $15,925, and calls it arrears of “alimony” since Dec. 19, 1893, at $35 a Week, according to a contract. He re- piles that he did pay “Dorothy Agan" $1,000 to stave off a suit for breach of promise, but never agreed to pay her $35 a week. He says, through ex-Can- &ressman Montague Lessler, that she discontinued the sult and that was the end of it; that this cause of action,|s outlawed anyway. and he does not ofe her a cent. js a millionaire, long in the Japanese trade and a world traveller, ‘but his self-confidence must haye been shaken when he read the accounts of ‘the successful war with the Barge Trust waged bythe young, beautiful and tal- ented woman who is suing him; how she turned detective and sleuthed along the (water front till she found her stolea ‘barge, the Vesta, and, boarding the craft ‘in low-necked evening gown, took command and sailed away, winning the ue “The dady of the Barges,’ and celebrating by giving a gorgeous dinner to her friends in her cabin. Gu of the Mikado, She says she and Mr. Mason were married in Chicago in, 189 and were 3 (he add of the Mikado in Japan on their ioneymoon, but that he grew cold in 1893, and she was about to bring sult for a separation when he offered the compromise of cash and a stipend, which she accepted. She says she got an Oklahoma divorce in 1897 on the ground of abandonment, but learned, later that it was no good in New York. She lives @t No, 230 West Eighteenth street. Isabel Vance. a prepossessing young Feman. who lives in apartments. at No. West Thirty-elghth street, demands $20,300 from Edward Alphonse DoVivier one similar alleged contract. She says in-the complaint drawn by A. H. Hum- mel that In consideration of her refrain- ing from suing Du Vivier he promised, on: Nov. 1, 1897, to Rey her a@ week for the rest of her life. He was to fain % a week. letting it accumulate leF, to be paid, however, on demand. She Bays he paid the $80 weekly until last No- vember, when he suddenly quit, and phe sues for a lump sum of $26,000, which seams to be based on the probable life tenure for herself of about twenty years, and also for 260 of those $5 bilis, malcng the $26,300 demanded.
