RIGHTS OF A FIANCE.
A PECULIAR LAWSUIT.
VALUABLE ENGAGEMENT RING.
A peculiar lawsuit, in Budapest, has raised tho question of what a man may or may not demand of his future bride.
A young man of the upper classes has sued his former fiancee—a young lady well-known in Budapest society—for the return of a valuable engagement ring. Shortly after the engagement was made public the young man heard rumours that his fiancee was suffering from serious heart trouble, and, repeating the rumour to her, ho .begged' her to consult a doctor. This the young lady refused to do. As the young man's friends contihued to insist that she was organically unhealthy, ho decided to trick her into undergoing a medical examination. The fiancee had a small scar on her neck, and tho young man persuaded her to visit a surgeon—whom lie had previously instructed to examine her—with the object of having the scar obliterated. When the girl discovered, however, that the removal of the scar must be preceded by an examination of the heart, lungs, etc., she refused to continue the matter. After this the young man considered himself justified in breaking off the engagement*
