been announced, is devoted to her art.
Just because CUPID stepped in the
baroness says that she is not going to
step out. That is, not entirely.
But the baron objects strongly to
the report that his wife will embark
on a professional career in this coun-
try and said today that her dane
ing from now on will not be a voca-
ton but ar avocation.
Although the families Of both the
baron and Miss Freed objected
strongly to the marriage OF the couple
the baroness managed to leave Cop
enhagen and board a vessel which
brought her to this country and the
baron.
What is there to tell?" she asked.

There are many farmers clubs and

her aid to the cause.
