DUPLICATE NECKLACE,

NEW YORK. Msrch so.-The di
vorce proceedings instituted by Nine
Emma Eames against Julian stor,
have given rise to much discussion
and various stories are in clrcula
ton purportng to account for the
rupture. One was related by a
friend Of both. This story says that
the beginning of the matrimonial
difficultis occurred more than a
year ago, when Nine. Eames and her
husband were stopping at the Hotel
Aston. Nine. Eames was coming
down in the elevator and Mr.. Story
was waiting for her IN the hotel
office. With the prima donna in the
elevator was an acquaintance, and
the two were engaged in conversation.
Nine. Eames was wearing a splendid
rope of pearls.
That Rope Of Pearls.
"I have seen that rope Of pearls be,
fore" the man is reported to have
said.
81 don't think you could possibly
have done So" said Nine. Eames.
"oh, yes. am positive have.
AS matter of fact l brought 1t over
from Europe for Mr.. Story"
81 am sure you must le mistaken, .
Nine. Eames remarked, for pur.
chased 1t myself in Paris"
"if that is the case, then there is
no doubt that am mistaken, but I
am positive brought over one sx.

the matter, and her lawyers in this
city. Messrs. Appel & Taylor, are
equally reticent.
Il am naturally not at liberty 10
discuss the matter" said Albert J.
Appel yesterday. Nothing can or
will be done in the matter until the
tour of Nine. Eames is concluded.
which think, will be In June. and
then everything will come to light.
THE statement that Nine. Story
wishes to be free in order to marry
some enc else is absolutely untrue.
There is no question of such thing.
Nine Story has practically been
driven to take this step in order to
preserve her self.respect. She could
not avoid it and not suffer. My
client does not wish to be made free
from any selfish motives. Beyond
that however, can say nothing, as
my position as her legal adviser is
naturally very delicate one."

Mr.. Shory is further quoted as

name has been linked by gossip with
my own.
Friends of Nine. Eames aver that
no correspondent VIII be named IN
her action, and that there will be no
sensational disclosures, the whole
trouble being attributed to incomnati.

They both have high.strung artis.

dreadfully regretrhble, still If they
cannot agree there is no doubt they
are much better apart"
