ARTISTS MODEL
FINDS ROMANCE
IS SOON ENDED
Weird Love Affair Winds Up
in Divorce Court; Life Of
Luxury Proves Sham

DETROIT, Dec. 30.-Even in De
troit an artists model can have adven
lures that rival those of Greenwich
Village in New York or the Latin
Quarter of Paris.
The career of Maizie Mitchell Ryer-
son proves it.
Maizie's romance really began when
she ran away from her puritanical
parents in Canada to become stage
dancer. This happened when she was
only 10.
Eighteen found her in Detroit, pos
ing for artists. In a studio she met
Albert w. Ryerson, youthfully
groomed man of 81, who was intro
duced to her as a well-to-do patron
OF the arts.
Ryerson took an immediate interest
in the little dancer and model.
1T was purely a fatherly interest"
says Maize, cat least l thought so.
And when he asked me to go to live
in his apartment as his ward, readily
agreed and thought myself the most
fortunate of girls
Maizie describes the apartment as
an exotically furnished suite in an
office building, where turbaned SER
wants OF Hindu cast of countenance
trod soft oriental rugs and lighted
incense lamps.
II had lived there only two months"
she says, when Mr. Ryerson pro-
posed marriage. He argued that our
arrangement would cause folks to
talk. But l protested l wasn't in love
with him.
"Then he suggested We be married
for 30-day trial and that if he hadn't
taught me to love him by the end Of
that period, l would be free to leave
him"
The marriage took place in the fall.
1t lasted 20 days. Then Maizie left
her benefactor, complaining OF his
ideas of love and love rites.
She said she believed Ryerson had
formulated these ideas while connect
ed with 4 strange secret order. Ryer-
son had headed book concern which
issued a volume setting forth this
cults precepts.
Many copies of this book were

found on the concerns shelves when
receivers took over the property.
Maizie promises to tell all about
Ryerson's love doctrines when her
suit for divorce comes up for trial.
Ryerson denies all her charges.

tude and asserts when he tells his
story in court he can sustain his

The Baiedu Neck

Fhshion declares that it is still 20 be
worn this winter. And the bothersome
problem of carnisol" ribbons showing
stays with it. But this may be solved
by the simple expcdi"nt OF sewing a
snap on tho inside Of each shoulder in
dresses that are mad" this way. and
fastening the corresponding peg on the
straps Of your slip. Nor" snaps may
be made 10 meet on the inside OF the

the pegs on the slip will match the
fasteners on more than the one dress.
This doesn't take long 10 do and it's

II prevent the straps from showing, but
also keeps them ON Ut" shoulder.
