“OFAN A S24 Aopetate Division at Albany _ Puts the Judicial Seal Upon Mhe Value of Miss Pettit’s -Osculatory Favors. SUITOR GOT 1,236 OF THEM. Her Valuation in a Suit for Brench of Promlee Was More than $40 Each, but Jury and Judge Cruelly ‘Cut Down Rate. Whe Appetinte Division, Third Depart- Ment, haa entadlished a schedule of edcdlation. To justices witting in Albany, . when bestowed In quantities ex- eding 1,000, are valued mt $2.42 each, ‘iat is when the woman {s the agerieves party to the action. What a mai are worth to hia offended self is 1 a matter for future adjudication. Miss Frances Pettit, of Galway, Sara- toga County, sued James P, Tittemore Oh May 12 for $50,000, Breach of prom wha her plaint. “He kissed me 1,238 times," sald the eomplainant, “I have been damaged to the extent of $50,000." The trial court and the jury pondered the evidence long and carefully. A verdict of $3,000 was finally awarded to the woman. Tittemore winced under th» law's declared penalty and soon after ‘went into voluntary bankruptcy. Then ‘he appealed from the judgment of the 1 court. Yesterday the judgment was Mrmed by the Appellate Division, and TM€temore stands before the law a debtor to Miss Pettit In the sum of $3,000. His , mingled with sighs and pro- of love, will cost him $2.42 She Kept a Record. ‘Miss Pettit is a very accurate young ‘Woman. Her life habits have been built upon a foundation of arithmetical @otion. She dotes upon statistics, and Problems in numbers are her specialty. On the nights when Tittemore was most arient she was kept busy, but never a Kies escaped her count. Wihen her suitor ‘tnad paid his yood-bys Miss Pettit would Tush at once to her room, pull out her ledger and therein inscribe to her own credit the number of kisses that came her way during the evening. Miss Pettit did not take the trouble to lassify the kisses of the ardent wooer. To her a kiss was a kiss. The accumu- Yation, when looked upon in the retro- @pect, made it very aggravating to her Peace of mind. As number has value, Ghe seemed to belleve that each kiss was ‘worth more than #0—to Tittemore, But the trial court had a fixed valuation of ite own. They thought Miss Pettit set too big a value upon her osculatory Qualifications, Two dollars and forty od cents was a good round figure, and the ‘Appellate Division in reviewing the case was of the same mind. Tittemore is fully fifty years old and ought to know the value of kisses when @ young woman fifteen years his junior iz concerned. The courtship. extended over a period of ten months, which takes wome of the romance out of it. For by fotual computation Miss Pettit received only 123 and 6-10 @ month—about four and a half a night, when a daily average is struck, Why. the breach? Hints during the trial of another woman showed that Giles Pettit’s kisses were not to be trifled ‘with, “Lalways keep an accurate account of said Miss, Pettit during the Kept Connt of Meats. * She’ knew how many meals Tittemore had eaten in her house during the ume he paid court to her. She hud occupied one of the houses which he owned for more:than nine and when the dit- feroncés’ sprang up. tn thelr lives the suitor asked the young woman for nine years’ rent. She put li a cross bill, de- ™anding payment forall the meals whieh her loving bands bad prepared. At was then found that Tittemore was indebted to her, so he sald no more about the rent,” When the jury's verdict made Miss Pettit the winner in the osculatory con- test Tittemore refused to pay.the money. ‘Then the very automobile which hissed its way over tHe tree-lined roads when ‘the full moon shone upon them both was Jevied upon by the attorneys of the ‘woman, While Miss Pettit was waiting for the ‘83,000 she married Gordon W.
