NEW ACTION BEGUN
BY MRS. GUGGENHEIM
Prima Donna Dresses 1t in Copy
of Her Own Costume and
Sells il for France.

NEW YORK. July ls.-Mrs Grace
Wahl GuRgenheim. who was divorced
from william Guggenheim in Chicago in
1901. has Just begun suit In tho su-
preme court to compel the four brothers
OF her former husband to carry out the
terms OF an alleged agreement by which
she was to receive A2.5oo In back ali
mony and $500 a month for lie.
The four brothers are Isaac. Murry,
solomon. and Simon Guggenheim. The
alleged agreement bears the date No
vember !. 1913.
The testimony in q former suit Of
stephen S. Gregory. who was Mr.. Gug-
eenheim's chief attorney In 1913. was to
the effect that In October. 1918. about a
month before the alleged agreement was
signed In this city. he was asked to see
Samuel Cntermyer. Mr. Gregory said
he told Mr.. Unternyer that in his
opinion the litigation brought by Mrs.
Guggenheim ought to be settled because
OF doubt as to what the outcome of q
trial would be.
Mrs. Guggenheim and her counsel
argue that Mr.. Gregory's testimony es-
tablishes the fact that an agreement
eventually was made for the payments
of the sums sued for.
