the front gate. where she stopped a
moment 20 answer questions.
Mrs. Zimmerman was attircd in

rumors that have been published" she
said. $50 much notOriety is painful
to me. I would rather not discuss my
husbands whereabouts. He often
goes to New York on business. Any

should be verified by him. Everything
has been exaggerated, and I do not
care to discuss the matter any further;
It is might lead to more misunderstnnd-

an important engagement and could not
take time to give detailed statement.
