\ ISIS CATHERINE fhnNi ol N."
MI York who recently married Mr..
o. Moore of New York and Los
Angeles, is on her honeymoon.
Miss Geneva Mitchell, who recently
startled her social circles by eloping with
Mr.. R. Savage, college student, has ended
her honeymoon and is seen again among
aer former friends, and is leading the same
ife she led before her marriage. Mr.. Saw
,ge is not with her, and probably will not
be again.
These are two very opposite incidents OF
recent matrimonial developments in New
York. but it is not in their difference the
interest in them lies. They furnish ,ohe
oundation for speculation upon the exist
.nce of sad state of affairs, which seems
o prevent beautiful Follies girls from keep
ng their easily acquired husbands.
IT is we'll established tradition that
rollies girls are the most beautiful young
pomen in the world. A great institution
las been builded upon this general under
ltanding.
There is a well defined rumor abroad In
he land that many young men look for
ward to becoming President. In this ambi-
ion they are often sympathetically encour-
,ged by their mothers. There is another
umor. quite as insistent and perennial,
hat an equal number Of young men look
onward to becoming the husbands OF
yollies girls, and it is likewise true that
hey are unsympathetically discouraged In
his ambition by their mothers.
And it would appear from just casual
dance at the matrimonial record OF the
rollies institution that the mothers know
whereof they discourage.
For 1t seems that while the young ladies
yho make up the background as well as
he foundation of the organization known
IS "The Follies" have remarkable success
n controverting mothers and fathers and
n taking unto themselves millionaires and
,ear millionaires, somehow they seem not
o be able to keep them. Within two years
en- famous "Ziegfeld Beauties" whose
he length of Broadway, have become ro-
nantic brides with love and happiness for
wer after apparently spread before them
n palaces. And these same ten, one after
he other, have returned to their former
activities minus husbands and, in the ma
ority of instances, minus millions
Certainly there is something psychologi-
al or perhaps sociological, to blame. Fol
les girls always have smile. They are
iever seen by the nightly patrons OF this
,reat institution without merry sparkle
n their eyes and charming smiles upon
heir we'll outlined lips. 1t would seem
hat they more than all other women are
4 that sweet and gentle disposition which
s the very essence OF the famous and oft
luoted "clinging vine" Certainly young
men with ambition to marry them would
eem to be fortunate even in the daring of
heir ambition. But there are many things
hat may be done with millions that may
Geneva Mitchell would say, "The Follies
irl is one of these"
In these arrangements and disarrange-
nents millions of dollars have changed
lands during the last two years. The
'oung ladies themselves say that they are
adder and wiser. The young men who
we're husbands for a time say the same.
)nly upon this point do the young ladies
ind the young men agree after their ex-
'eriences Of the divorce courts.
Sometimes the Follies girls marriage has
I'd to tragedy. 1t was only few days ago
