Mrs. George North
To Ash Separation
Millionaire's Daughter
Deserted, Returns
to Parents

Deserted by her husband after less
than a year of married life. Mrs.
George L North, the beautiful daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey D. Goodman of
Napa, is preparing to bring suit for
divorce. This announcement authori-
tatively made last night by the father
OF the young wife, confirms the rumors
which have been whispered over the
teacups of society for the last three
weeks. and marks the beginning of the
end OF a marriage. which. opening un-
der the most auspicious circumstances,
passed through the seas of financial
trouble to be finally wrecked on the
rocks of divorce.
North has disappeared. He left his
wife three weeks ago and the only
word that could be had of him were
rumors to the effect that he was in
the company of Jack Cordell, a sec
ond rate prize fighter in Los Angeles,
and that having failed most signally
in Journalism. he intended to devote his
time to managing prize fighters. Mrs.
North is with her mother in the east.
preparing for trip to Europe. When
she returns divorce suit will be filed
by her.
COUPLE ARE PROMINENT
The prominence of both the husband
and wife adds to the sensation of the
case. North is the son OF Mrs. John
A Metcalfe one of the leaders in San
Francisco society. and who has been
the guiding hand at the Kirmess, now
being given at the Central theater.
Mrs North was formerly Miss Ruth
Goodman. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harvey D. Goodman, both of whom
have esta blished positions in society
on both sides of the bay. Her father
is a millionaire. a heavy stock holder
in the Southern Pacific and is regard
ed as one of the financial pillars of
the state.
Their marriage in Napa was one of
the social events of last year and the
expectations were that it would prove
an eminently happy one. The groom
was a member of one of the oldest
families OF the state, popular. hand
some, and looked upon as having a fu
ture before him. The expectations
were short lived. Within a few months
after the ocean trip which followed
the marriage young North had en-
barked on the journalistic sea at
Lodi, his father in law aiding in the
proposition. and in an extremely brief
time had succeeded in drifting into so
many financial troubles that he had to
give up the scheme and seek shelter
in his father in laws home.
