Pretty Motorcyclist Gets Novel Sentence and a Dinner de Luxe. ’•

New York. —Miss Lillian Roberts, seventeen, of Flatbush, was before Magistrate Geismar in the Flatbush court, charged with driving her motorcycle at 30 miles an hour. When a fine of $25 was imposed upon her Miss Roberts, a suffragette, stamped her little feet and declared that she would not pay it. She was given the alternative of a day in jail. She agreed to the latter, but the magistrate grew tender-hearted and decided that she could- spend the time in the courtroom instead of going to the Raymond Street jaiß Soon after court closed a friend brought Miss Roberts a dinner de luxe, which was eaten on one of the benches.
