Boil couples are newlywed divor-

iady having formerly been married to
each other, as was likewise true of
the first lady and the second man.
The exchange OF life partners
seemed most satisfactory to all.
THE Waldorf next said WELLER
there's a drama there every hour Of
the day, but there is one in particu-
lar that you can see for yourself about
this hour than at any other time OF
the day.
DO you see that lady sitting in
the fourth chair from the end of
Peacock Alley, with diamonds scat
tered about her? Well, she is the
heroine Of a little drama I'd call.
Beyond Mems knowledge.

The Cast-A lady. from forty to

The first lady, communing with
herself: Nov l guess I'll show these
foi'1s in New York that ven though

! 10 oress myself. And there isn't
,-o-y here who have diamonds like
! mine"
; D.siness of losing confidence III her
! apparel as she watches the gowns OF
the other women IN says to herself:
"Oh, if John had only let me send to
New York for my clothes"
, A half hour later the maid is
: called to the room of the lady from
Peoria. She finds a lady in tears
who wants the address Of a real good
e New York rnodiste.
