came to live within the shadow Of the
Carnegie mansion a few years ago. ana
who was divorced just recently from
the young blueblood who wooed her
with diamonds, pearls and saphires.
| What is ii that Mrs. Palmer doesn't
want to tell?
Just this: which are the adzncina

What possible motive has Mrs
1 Palmer for not revealing these details
of her gay life?"
"Not Herr World"
The police think Mrs Palmer doesn't

only exclusive people.- So I am sure
