truth of Bernard Shaw's theory of the
Invincibility of woman in courtship and
of Thackeray's views on the same sub
ject might have felt themselves vindl
cated had they been in Municipal Judge
Scott's court In Chicago.
Harry Wolchanovesky of 222 West
Forty-seventh street was on trial there
on a charge of wife abandonment. In
defense the accused man set up that he
had been forced to marry his wife
through artifice and against his real
will. He had beon Inveigled, he said, into
a position from which he couldn't extrl
cate himself and ' from which the only
loophole was marriage.
Before he could recover his presence
of mind, he declares, the nuptial knot had
been tied.' Afterward, when he had had
a chance to think the mater over, he
became convinced he had been Imposed
upon and had "struck" against carrying
cut any of the' obligations of his mar
riage compact.
Wolchanovesky declared that his wife
was the pursuer during the period of
courtship. His "consent" was finally ob
tained, he said, in the office of her
brother. Dr. D. Apfelbaum, at 32 North
Clark street, on November 3, 1911.
"We had been going together for some
time, and that day she suggested we
visit her brother," Wolchanovesky testi
fied. "The doctor gave us something to
drink. I remember I took more than I
ought to, under the circumstances.
"Her brother stepped out of the room
and Ida fell on my neck and put her
arms around me. I thought she 'had
fainted, but presently she whispered Into
my ear, 'Let's get married.' Just then
her brother came back and I couldn't
ssy 'No,' because look at the position
I was In! Besides the liquor had af
fected my will. So I consented."
L. G. Elum, attorney for Mrs. Wolchan
ovesky, interrupted the witness at this
point.
"Do yefu mean to say you were led
like a lamb to the slaughter?" he de
manded. "Something like that." was the reply.
"Were you surprised when she put her
arms around your neck?" was the next
question. '
" I don't know, I wasn't exactly' sober."
"Do you mean to say you would not
have consented If you had not been In
toxicated?". "Well, hsfrdly," said the defendant.
Mrs. Wolchanovesky declared that a
tacit engagement had existed long before
this time and that she merely asked him
to place the date of the wedding earlier
than originally planned. Wolchanovesky
had already bought the. eng-agoment ring

Paul Young, the Vermilion adept, won
the first final match of the tournament
by trimming Lawrence Bushman, .the
auburn-headed Crelghton university rac
quet wlelder. In the consolation singles
finals yesterday, straight sets, 6-7, 6-4.
The first frame was a feature and most
of the games went to deuce. Young had
little difficulty In smashing Bushman's
high lobs, but the Crelghton adept came
back strong by placing near the side lines
and forcing the South Dakotan's outs. A
total of twenty-six games were necessary
and set-en of this number were deuce af
fairs. "Gravy" Hayes and Ray Branson had a
bard tussle with Joe Armstrong and Art
Scribner In the semi-final round of the
championship doubles of the Midwest
tennis tournament on the courts of the
Field club, although the former duo
won as was expected of them, their op
ponents made them work for every point
and game. The score by straight sets
was 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. '
Hayes Regains Form.
Hayes is rapidly rounding Into true
racquet form and there Is little doubt but
that the lanky Windy City husky will bo
able to gyrate around in the big chal
lenge singles match Saturday afternoon.
His ankle Is still kept in bandage braces,
but It causes him little Inconvenience in
hopping around the clay level and smash
ing opponent's well meant lobs.
, Many deuce games were checked up
during the progress of the three sets and
time again . Hayes and Branson would
pull up to 40-love In their favor, only to
have their younger opponents rally and
win the next three points, thus bringing
the tab even. Armstrong lost several
points on account of his double faults
while Scribner was the chief offender
on outs, this being accounted tor by the
fact that the agile "Gravy" persisted in
placing where "Scrib" had to use a
forceful smash or slam nets.
The third set was easily the thriller
of the match and brought forth rounds
of applause from the morning gallery
which numbered fully 200 despite the
heat which beat down on the courts, ne
cersitating sweat bands for the players
and smoked glasses for the spectators
who happened to be seated on the north
bank.
Play In the consolation doubles pro

being finished by 11 o'clock. Robert Mc

,In raising money to pay for .a new
church a preacher sometimes has to shut
his eyes to the dollars tossed into the
plate or slipped into the duplex envelopes.
Dr. Robert Nelson Spencer tells this story
about a brother clergyman who- onoe
went a bit further:
This rector, Dr. Spencer says, was so
hard put to It that he decided to sollctt
funds from an atheist saloon keeper, who
was reputed to be the wealthiest man in
the district.
One day, when the rector and saloonlst,
with whom he was well acquainted, met
on the street, the churchman put the
question good and strong.
"I don't believe In the church: It hurts
my business," retorted the bosze mer
chant, with indignation In his voice
"Now, Tom," returned the rector, in his
most conciliatory manner, "listen to rea
son. I maintain that if it wasn't for the
church you wouldn't have a chance in
the world. The church is the pioneer jf
civilization, and where the beacon of
modern enlightenment burns dimly or not
at all the saloon la unknown-
"Suppose you tried to open a 'joint' In
darkest Africa," he went on, with a good
imitation of enthusiasm. "What would
those cannibals do to you the first time
one of their number got a drink at your
bar and appeared before bis tribe intoxi
cated? Why, sir, they would burn you
for a witch; that's what they would do."

A Remarkable Sale of
Boys' School Suits
Starts Saturday, Aug. 24th
For four years our Boys' Dept. has held the banner for
sightly, serviceable School Suits at wonderfully low prices.
Our. buyer studies the Boys' Suit problem just as carefully,
keeps his eye on the changing styles Just as faithfully and
knows values just as intimately as does the buyer of our
Men's Suits. Moreover, the tailors who execute our Boys'
Suit order are specialists of high degree and they do noth
ing else than make good clothes for little fellows. As a
natural consequence this department shows a substantial
growth from year to year. But we want it to make a more
rapid growth this season than it has ever made before. We
want the name of King-Swanson to become a household
word in every home that harbors a boy. To that end we've
selected several hundred of our choicest School Suits and
have lumped them into two big lots at two small prices.
This alone should keep our salesmen busy until School
opens, Sptember 9th, but, to make this an event of wide
spread interest, even to the boy who doesn't need a full
suit, we're going to sell several hundrei pairs of our high
Quality Knickerbockers at a ridiculously low price. We
expect to see aluiOBt every boy, who needs must dress up
for the first day of school, in this store Saturday.

Each one was reported upon for three
months. She was either "unsatisfac
tory," or "satisfactory," or "more than
satisfactory." These reports In them
selves, however, were not deemed sufflr
clent. Possibly they developed some
weakness on the part of the direct em
ployer, that Is to say, the smaller man
ager. So the girls were moved around
-r-they were put to work directly under
others. In these cases the unsatisfactory
were transferred again so that they
couldn't possibly be treated unfairly and
so that possible efficiency of one of
more of them here or there might'' be
utilized. If they failed after the third
test they were unceremoniously dis
missed. Those passing high were put on an
honor roll, the president of the corpora
tion himself wrote each of them a pleas
ant letter of. commendation,, and such
girls were selected for the overtime work
and reimbursed for It liberally, a thing
which working girls (and real working
men, for that matter) prize highly,
namely, this chance to make more money
by working overtime. But there arose
the question how best to select new em
ployes. It was found that most recom
mendations were made by former em
ployers whose description of the ca
pacity of the applicants was Incomplete
or colored colored in order to get rid
of an unsatisfactory employe without
having trouble over it, or coloring fav
orable to the applicant In order to do
the gallant thing by the "poor girl; she
has to work for a living." The corpora
tion president found that this evil of In
accurate or false recommendation was
so great that a system of competition
among applicants must be established,
and that was done. It was marvelous to
see how many applications there were
In response to advertisements so many,
In fact, that they were time-stamped and
numbered and examined 250 at a time.
This examination was a strict one. It
gave the new employer a thorough un
derstanding of the girl. She had to make
an affidavit an affidavit seems serious,
and Is as to the reasons for her fre
quent changes of employment, which
were many In most cases; as to whether
she was obliged to be away very much
on account of sickness, and why, or on
account of colds, and how often and
how much; as to whether she would
have any objection V dusting off her
own desk In the morning strange ques
tion to answer because " it was found
that a great many of the applicants be
lieved that to be a menial performance
and they object to It; and the corporation
objected to them Cor that reason, because
such persons had not the spirit of Indus
try and, of course, wouldn't do. ,' ' '
Then, the applicants were subjected to
a rigorous physical examination. Their
mothers came with them, and a trained
nurse was present, and a specialist and
If they passed muster, it was evidence
that they were In good physical condition
and would not need to be absent and to
make excuses. Then, finally, came the
written examination dictation at 100
words a' minute for five minutes, an ex
ercise In tabulation, a spelling exercise,
and an original ' letter. Only a few
passed. They were good every way, and
got good pay, and the corporation had a
system which lasted, and Invariably pro
duced results commensurate In value with,
the trouble and . expense. Philadelphia
