our New Orleans correspondent.
New Orleans, La, Nov 22.-It has
taken the most beautiful model just
nine months to find out again, she
says, that beauty can't win love.
ITS a curse" says she.
I'd rather be the ugliest woman in
the world than have the reputation of
being the most beautiful model.
II We're ugly. I'd have nothing
to worry about"
And these are just few of the
sayings OF Mrs. J.. p. Simmons. di-
voreed wife Of Abe Hammerstein, son
or the theatrical king of New York.
and now wife Of piano store owner
of New Orleans. ."

Mrs. Simmons, who has Just
charged her husband with threatening

sible for her trouble.
On the other hand, Simmons charges
his wife has tired, of him, has ruined
his business and has driven him into
bankruptcy by her desire to have her
own photoplay company.
While awaiting trial. of the. Grim
inal court case, which will undoubt-
ediy be followed by divorce proceed
ings, Simmons is continuing to act
with his wife in film they had
started.
I've appeared in all but the last

Many a fair maid. accepting from
a travelling reIa tive returning from the
Orient the gift of an embroidered
kimono. has exclaimed over its coIors

The athletic young moderns have few
uses for lounging robes. and until
some clever designer discovered this

a printed circular reviewing conditions
