with these words and a hearty
laugh Peggy Hopkins. former WASH

ziesfeld Fonies girl answered the
rumor that Is abroad in Paris to
the effect that she Is seeking a di-
yorce from J. Stanley Joyce, million
aire Chicago lumberman. whom she
married less than "A year ago.

"Ah. me. but It's annoying-this
silly piffle about a divorce from my
husband" sighed the famous beauty
between sips or her morning coffee
In her room at the Hotel Du Rhin.
"Do stop this silly talk" she i'm
plored as she piled nervous fingers
through her pretty blonde hair. all In
tiny knots. do, Mr.. Reporter. stop
this talk--my husband might start
believing it."
As a matter of fact. according to
Peggy. it's her brother-in-law, David
Joyce, whom a divorce action has
been started against. and not J.
Stanley, her husband.
Talk OF divorce may have started,
Miss Hopkins thinks. because she
has been living alone in Paris the
last three months. while some of
her friends here know that her hus-
band has repeatedly cabled her TO
come home. He is coming over in
two weeks to take her back to
America
Mrs Joyce was even moro en-
phatic In denying talk frequently
heard in fashionable Paris dancing
places to the effect that there Is a
French prince on her slate for a flu
ture husband
She was eager to have tho gossip
repeated to her. but when Prince de
Fleury's name was mentioned. she
beat her silk bedcover with both her
hands to deny what she called -
nonstrous pifre."
