her divorce and her marriage to
Hartman she has not been vel

Hartman has taken up bridge, she
plays it masterfully and success

tragedy.

TO make the members OF the Circus
Set have a good time. Never were
husband and wife at greater logger
heads, but she lives with dignity,
accepting all things, and Newport
and her husband know that she will
not seek the divorce court but will
bear her sorrows In silence.
Has the Bcrwind wealth brought
happiness in its train?
But there are many other women
who have paid in sorrow for their
wealth. Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt,
one of the richest California heir
esscs, when she married the oldest
son OF William K. Vanderbilt
thought that her road to happiness
was plain before her. For three
years she has lived apart from her
husband refusing to get a divorce
but not recognizing his existence
at all. Her wealth could not keep
her husband by her side. and his
wealth could not give her the happi-
ness she craved. 1t takes more than
wealth to keep two people from the
bitter quarrels which were a feature
OF the life of the young Vanderbilts.
Is Mrs. Vanderbilt happy as she
lives in her great mansion on Long
Island while her husband lives prac-
tically abroad all the time? Pathos?
The wealthy sets throughout this
country are as full of it as the. rec
tor of the Heavenly Rest claims.
And he, like the members of the
Circus Set who whisper this story
over their tea cups, know that the
surface has only been scratched In
