SIX CENTS!!! affections woe worth exactly nix cont: 80 present, quotations on a hun- band’s love h reached rock bot- tom. After a search of the records of years I have found no verdict like Shie one in @ auit for alleged alinna- tion of the affections, The high cost of living may be going up. But the high cost of loving would seem to be go- img down, A busband’s love tw not worth thirty cente—t's worth only x! That the well-known “wave of re- ductions” has hit conjugal affections ‘@ proved by & brief survey of the finandial value of those affections, as decided in the courts during recent years, Aa late as last spring a+ Supreme Court jury awarded 960,000 to Mrs. Lillian Aresoni, wife of Enrico Are- soni, opera singer, in her suit for alienation-against Mra, Joase Ullrey, & wealthy Cleveland widow. And a @ wife, Mrs, Florence Waller, ro- wetved a verdict for $3,000 in the Hackensack, N. J. Cireult Court against ber father-in-law, Wu i. Waller, for alienating the affec- ions of Donald Waller, her twenty- ame-year old husband ‘The sum of $4,500 was awnrded, year and a hb ago by a jury th the Brookiyn Jourt to Mew.

One always beans that “the Street” has no use for pikers. Yot it ls @ recorded fact that in a vourtroom a jury passed upon the value of Mr, Mitchell's love to his wife wod found it worth precisely $700, That te all that Ruth Austin, en artist's model, was asked to pay for the preciaus commodity, although Mra. Mitehell gued her for alleged alienation of affections and asked damages of $25,000. More women seem to bo awanied financial compensation for the loss of husbands than men for tho of wiveo—perhaps on the male jury's un gallant theory Uast it's easier for a forsaken husband to find the consola- cons of Cupid than for a wife to do kerwiee. The affections of ut least one wife however, have been dofinitely price- marked by a Jermey justice, George D. Wilder, & broker of Morristown, brought sult against Dr. George Stuart Nilllg (described by opposing counsel us the Baldheaded Lamb of Love) for tne thet, of the affections of Mra. Wilder, Her husband estimated her (owt lave at $60,000, but the jury 4ooked one cipher and assessed the aitenated affections ag worth precisely $6,000, + The market of values for conjugal Jove fluctuates, you peteelve.
