M. Poiret Departs
Without Visions of
Beautiful Women
VIII Return Soon, However,
for Further Investigation;
Terms Broadway's Lights
Fairylarad of A erica

Paul Poiret, the Frenchman who de-
signs apparel for women generally and
for himself exclusively, vanished from
America yesterday on the French liner
Paris for Havre.
Within week he will be in his be-
loved Paris, but the indelible impress
sions of ''the American fairyland," he
said, would be with him until his next
visit here.
Perhaps within two months the port
ly Gaul expects to be tripping up
Fifth Avenue and down Broadway look
ing for some divine American creatures
beautiful women he called them
who mad eluded his alert eye during
his recent short visit.
Broadway electrically illuminated
janmed a few hundred thousand pat
terms upon the brain Of the French
fashion maker. 1t was SO with Ches-
terton, but the great British publicist
thought it might be marvellous inn
preston for person who was unable
to read. Chesterton thought electric
Broadway would serve well as py-
roteehnic display for mandarin's
birthday celebration. M. Poiret was
content yesterday to call it the fairy
land of America.
In appearance there was little to
choose yesterday between Poiret de-
parting and the Poiret who canse here
q month ago. He was arrayed out-
bound with the. same sort of fantastic
draperies that ahrouded him on his ar
rival. The only difference perceptible
was that of the outbound color scheme.

the time of this stunt.
With his teeth he broke spike en-

He held in his mouth a one-inch thick
bar of iron on each side of which were
three plump bathing girls, and whose
weight bent the bar in twain.
He bent an inch thick. bar Of iron by
gently tapping it on his sleft forearm,

Kipling Repeats Denial;
Refuses to Say More
Refers, i'm Reply TO The Trib-
une, to His Custom Never to
Give Interviews
From, The Tribune's Europodn Bureda
Copyright. 1922. New York Tribune. Inc


LONDON, Sept. 13.-Rudyard Kip
ling refused to-day, in message to
the Tribune's European bureau, to
elaborate his categorical reputation of
the slurs on Americas war record
which were attributed to him in "The
New York World" in supposed inter
view with Mrs. Clare Sheridan. He said
that it had been his custom never to
give interviews, that he had given none
to Mrs. Sheridan, and that, as he ad-
vised "The London Times" this morn
ing, he had never said the things as
cribed to him by Mrs. Sheridan.
Several of the London newspapers
cling to the belief that Kipling was
correctly quoted and express regret
over the incident "The Mar chester
Guardian" says:
"Here we all look the OF way and
make as if we had not heard when he
breaks out now and then. Would it
help if we begged our American friends
to take no more notice than we would
do here if Mr.. Dooley tomorrow gave
England another of his little digs in
the ribs?"
LONDON, Sept. 13 (By The Associ-
ated Press) .-Rudyard Kipling, reply
ing to an inquiry regarding his utter
ances as quoted by Clare Sheridan in
"The New York World" sent The AS"
sociated Press to-day the following
telegram:
"Bateman's, Burwash, Sussex, Sept. 13.
"I did not give Mrs. Sheridan an in
terview. I did not say the things
which I see she ascribes to me and

Beach Queens Gems Disappear
As Her Royal Woes Pile Up
Bobbed Haired Bathing,
Beauty Says Atlantic City
Rivals Scorned Her Be
cause of Shorn Locks

Ihe woes and sorrows of royalty be-
came too much yesterday for Lillian
Harnach, Queen OF the Long Beach
bathing beauties, to bear in silence.
Some Of them she confided to her at
torney, former Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Samuel A. Berger, while the others
she revealed to her subjects after the
manner of William Hohenzollern and
others who have got into trouble play
ing the royal role.
What she told her attorney was that
some one had broken into her room at
the Ritz-Carleton Hotel at Atlantic
City on the night Of September 8 and
stolen the diamonds from the ring she
received in honor of her selection as
one OF New York's four most beautiful
girls, Even if royalty does have it's
drawbacks there was nothing the mat
Ter with the stones, and she wants
them back.
What she told the public was that
New York bathing queen was Just
atcut as popular during the beauty
tournament at Atlantic City as a Rus
sian grand duchess at Bolsheyik tea
party, and that she thought some ieal-
GUS dame from another city had some
thing to do with the theft, which oc-
Cured while all the fifty-seven beauty
varieties were quartered together.
One thing that caused trouble, she
said, was that three of the four New
York queens sailed down to the con-
test in the latest styles of bobbed hair,
while all the other fifty-three turned
up with curls hanging to their waists,
proclaiming the abbreviated coiffure
out of date. 1t always gets New
Yorker mad to be told by any one from
the wild and woolly region west of
Huffalo she is behind the styles. And
it makes Westerner mad to find she
is not in the New York style
"The bobbed hair got by all right
until they found out where I came
FROM" she declared positively. "Thc
trouble was that the other girls hated
New York. Finally let on that l had
been picked at Long Beach, CAL, in
stead of Long Beach, N. Y, and after
that | didn't have much trouble"
New-York tribune., 1922-09-14
By Frederick B. Edwards

We were sitting around the Office
yesterday afternoon waiting for some
thing to happen, when a loud-voiced
person with a forehead that goes away
back told US to answer the phone.
The party on the other end Of the
phone was Harriette Underhill, the
Tribune's motion picture critic. Well,
there are lot of people we'd like to
have to talk to on the phone worse
than Harriette Underhill.
Harriette Underhill was all out of
breath. She said:
Listen, can you take shorthand :?
No? That's too bad. Anyway, this
Pola Negri is positively the most gor-
seen in all my life"
We said indeed" non-comm;ttally.
To begin with, you never can tell when
you're being kidded around this shop,
and then again, Harriette Underhill is
not the sort of person who gets all
burned up about q beautiful woman.
What with doing moving pictures all
the time, and interviewing film stars
by the bushel, and meeting beautiful
people of both sexes just by way of
regular everyday work, she's seen SO
many of 'em that you'd think one or
more wouldn't matter-not hard boiled,
exactly, but about four-minute egg.
To be quite frank about it, If anybody
had said that there was woman in
the world so beautiful that she could
get Harriette Underhill excited about
her beauty, we'd have said, "Is that
so?" very cuttingly and walked right
on.
That is, up to yesterday afternoon
wed have walked right on.
When we said ''indeed," cautiously,
Harriette Underhill was almost nasty
to us. AT least she came as near to
being nasty as any woman as equally
dispositioned as is Harriette Underhill
could ever possibly come.
Honest, she Is. you poor man."
Harriette Underhill said. "She is
beyond all question the most gorgeous
ly splendidIy, perfect creature In the
world. She must be. I've seen all the
others and Pola Negri has them all
lashed to the mast"
We asked eagerly for details.
"Don't be silly" said Harriette
Underhili. "You can't describe her.

1ribune's Picker Finds Easiest
Thing In World TO Look Al
one Closeup of Pola Negri, and Harriette Underhill
Admits She's the Most Gorgeous Thing Who
Ever Wore Diamond Plaque of Dinner Plate Size

You've got to see her to believe her.
When Charlie Chaplin came back from
Europe, you know, they asked him
what was the most beautiful thing he
mad seen on his trip, and he replied
1Pola Negri' well, Charlie was right.
He told the truth. She is all that.
She is the most gorgeously beautiful
creature l have ever SEEN"
1T listens good" we told Harriette
Underhill; "but what's the story? We
cant write story on 'Pola Negri is
the most gorgeously beautiful creature
harriette Underhill has ever SEEM
ell, there was luncheon" Har-
riette Underhill said "Adolph Zukor
was there. 1t was at Sherry's. The
Famous Playars-Lasky gave it. Eugene
Zukor was there, too. So were Thomas
Meighan, Felix Kahn, Hugo Reisen-
field, Robert Kane and a lot of others.
And Pola Negri, of course Listen, if
she isn't the most gorgeously beauti-
ful woman you've ever seen, I'll buy
you a hat.
"She wore black satin and a deep
lace collar and diamond plaque as
big as dinner plate"--
Whoa, There, Harriette!
"Hey!" we said. There are some
things that even Harriette Underhill
Cannot tell us with impunity."
well, as big as bread and butter
plate, anyway. 1t was, honest" said
Harriette Underhill. "And she had on
a three-cornered hat, pulled down over
her magnificent eyes. trimmed with sill
yer. No, not her eyes, the hat, stupid
and she is beyond any question the
most splendid creature on this earth.
can't get in to write it myself. You
write it for me, like nice boy, and
don't forget to say that Pola Negri is
the most beautiful woman in the
world, and / say So"
This gives US the testimony of three
experts on the marvel of Pola Negri's
beauty. There is Charlie Chaplin, and
there Is Mabel Normand, who told the
ship news reporters that Pola Negri
was the most marvelously beautiful
woman she had ever seen.
And there is Harriette Underhill.
1t begins to look as though Pola
Negri must be kind of pretty.
r. S.-Our ship news man has asked
us to retract his own ill-conside
statement that Pola Negri is the most
beautiful woman in the world. He is
happily married.

Conflicting Reports Made

Special Dtspatch to The Tribune

NoRWALK, Conn, Sept. 1s.Dr.
Samuel H. Huntington, medical exami-
ner, in his report on the death Of FL
delio Sharp Henry, New York oil opcr-
ator who shot himself Monday while at
his summer home at Cannondale, said
that it was s.either accidental or sui
eide" The circumstances surrounding
Henry's death are so conficting that
neither DR.. Huntington nor the police
have agreed on the cause.
Henry's widow and daughter to-day
said they still believed that the death
was accidental. They said that their
desire to prove that such is the case
has nothing to do with their claims for
his $4,000 insurance. 1t is reported
that his aggregate estate is worth sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. The
body has been sent to Austin. Tex, for
burial.

Turk in Europe Means

rice Expected To Be Fol-
lotued by British UItimUsurs

LONDON, Sept. 13 (By The Asso-
slated Press eff the Turks are al
lowed to re-enter Europe there Is sure
soon to be another international war;"
said Henry Morgenthau, former Am
bassador to Turkey, to-day.
Mr.. Morgenthsu, who is being widely
interviewed in London as an expert
on Turkish affairs, also Is seeing and
talking with high British personages,
and from information that has, been
presented to him it would appear that
an ultimatum will be delivered in a
few days to Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
the Turkish Nationalist leader, stating
that any effort by him to cross with
his forces from the Asiatic to the
European side of Turkey will be re-
sisted by force.
"Jugo-Slavia," Mr.. Morgenthau said,
"already has an army above 100000
afoot, with the possibility of mobilizing
total Of 100000 in month. Now,
consider that Bulgaria, rightly deter
mined to have an outlet to the Aegean
Sea, begins to make her dash to obtain
to retake Adrianople. Then her enc
mics, the Jugo-Slavs, would start their
armies marching to attack both the
Bulgarians and the Turks. 1t is to be
remembered that the Turks are now
flushed with victory. They are ruth
less fighters and they are sure to
attempt to seize disaccord among the
Allies to regain their lost territory.
II believe l have been able to stimu-
late British opinion during the last few
days and show the danger of letting
the Turk pass. There have been many
political mistakes made in the Near
East, with the Turks the only ones not
| making any.
"No one should believe the Turks
now in command are bent on a new ma
tionalism. Besides, they cannot get
along without outside help, and this
they DONE want.
Americas interest in Turkey Is
largely financial, but it is to be re-
| membered that the whole OF the pre-
war yearly imports and exports with
| Turkey never amounted TO the volume
of business done by a single American
concern, such as the United States
Steel Corporation. The Turks have NO
economic sense. Therefore, they com
| slider they have nothing TO lose by
continuing the state Of war. So it is
sure they will not make peace quickly
with the Allies. My opinion is to give
them Asia Minor, but under no cir
cumstances let them control the Straits
