i m beginning to waiver, but I'm still
depending on his honesty and prom
1ses to me-" said Mrs Blanche Hawn-
Rash-Brimmer-Tier today at the
home of Everett Rash. father of
Floyd Rash, her first husband.

Southbend. Ind, Nov. 2s.-With the
threads of the domestic affairs of
Professor and Mrs. John p. Herman
becoming more tangled by many new
developments since the start of the
I1ernan-Poulin paternity case, the
next move OF the principals toward
restoration of harmony in the house
hold was being watched with interest
today.
Despite the fact that Professor
Tiernan announced last night that the
reconciliation with his first wife was
moving along satisfa ctorily. a dispatch
from Marshalltown, Iowa, quoted Mrs.
Blanche Brimmer Herman, the pro-
lessons Tbride of a day" as saying she
was the latter's wife and was going
to live with him. She said she ex-
pected Tierran to arrive at the Iowa
city Wednesday.
Whether the professor will carry
missing the divorce petition against
the first Mrs. Tiernan and have the
appeal of the paternity case against
Harry Poulin dismissed, or whether
he will take -tion to have his mar
rage to the second Mrs. Herman pro-
nounced legal, are steps that remain
to be determined by future develop
ments-
