“MAGIC RING” COST $2,800

Failed to Render Woman*|nvislble and Seller la Jailed. Mme. Durant of Faris, approaching sixty, discovered furrows in her brow about the time she made the acquaintance of one Cosina, who persuaded her to let him try to make her young again. His lotions and manipulations seemed really to have some such effect, for the wrinkles vanished and the lady’s complexion became once more fair and rosy. Looking young, she felt young, and when she met a good-looking army officer, who acted as if he admired her but felt too timid to speak,, she consulted Cosina and he had an inspiration. He said he could make her Invisible by means of a magic ring and she could thereby be in the company of her soldier and learn his Innermost thoughts without his knowing she was there. She paid Cosina $2,800 for the ring. The officer saw her just the same as before she had it, but she found it had made Cosina Invisible when she went ; to Inform him that the charm had not worked. On her complaint to the police Cosina was found. The court fined him S4O and sent him to jail for eight months.
