If you don't know who Peggy Hopkins,
Jr., is. turn to the Washington, D. c., social
register. She is down there as Mrs. Sher-
burne G. Hopkins. Jr."
And If you seem unable to place Papa
Hopkins, at first thought, consult the re-
cent history of Mexico. He is %he we'll
known Washington lawyer, and more than
lawyer. He represents more moneyed in
terests in Mexico than any other man ever
represented anywhere. 1t has even been
said that he helped start the Constitution
alists in their uprising. That may be talk
but Papa Hopkins has millions and great
social prestige.
Two months ago Peggy Hopkins" was
riding about Washington in one OF her
many motor cars, with her own liveried
chauffeur and her own precious toy spaniel
or her pedigreed Pomeranian in her lap.
She is now living in New York in fur
nished room.
Peggy Hopkins will not be twenty-five
years old until next month, but she has
been very busy little woman during the
past five years of her life. If you doubt it,
please TO remember that she has been the
wife Of two millionaires. In fact, she's the
wife of one now, young Hopkins, but she
hopes the courts will give her her freedom.
Just now she has a message to Every
girl 1t Is short message, and she says
she has every right TO give 1t out 1t is:
Girls, don't ever marry a millionaire.
Millionaires make the very worst husbands
They consider their wives only as a minor
sort OF incident in their lives You can
never be happy as the wife of a million
aire. Why. even Cupid hates a millionaire"
