ROYALTY GOES
A SHOPPING IN
SIMPLE STYLE
BY United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Dee. 24.-Patrons of
London shops were quite likely to
find themselves choosing their
Christmas presents side by side with
a member of the royal family.
In these modern democratic times,
members of Britain s reigning house
no longer surround themselves with
the pomp and ceremony that form
ally characterized all shopping eX-
pcdit:ons. y few years ago the
shopping of royal parsonage was
attended by almost as much ceremony
as a state progress. Equerries APP
peared ut the favored shop, rich
red carpets were hurried out, 4 way
was cleared and decorated and any
vehicle i'll the streets was moved
away.
Nowadays, Sue, the petite little
miss who presides over the lace
counter, or Francois, the antique
dealer, may have the Queen herself
as customer without knowing it.

LOU BAKER IS .
A REAL PERSON
SAYS |. A. WIFE
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 24.--'Cher-
chez le Homme' might well be the
watchword today in the 100000
wife sale divorce action filed by
Mrs. Helen La Maie, against Elsier
La Male, motion picture promoter.
Find the Ethopian-no i'll the
voodpilc. but somewhere between
Oakland and Juarez-Lou Harris
Baker, gambler, whose desire for a
white mate, according to Mrs. La
Maie, influenced him to offer $780,
coo for her.
La Maie SAYS there never was Il
Lou Harris Baker. The whole idea,
he declares,was a brilliant scheme
Of his to get his wife to quit placing
fine clothes and baubles ahead OF
love.
But Mrs. La Maie, to the tune of
a series Of statements, declares there
is n Lou Harris Baker, and he did
offer $5O0,000 for her, and her hus-
band is now trying to sneak out OF
his part in according to her allega-
tions.
Attorney Chandos f. Bush, coun-
sci for Mrs. La Maie, supports his
clients every suggestion. Persons
other than Mrs. La Maie have seen
and talked with Baker recently,
Bush declares. In fact, the negro
gambler went to her Long Beach
home a few days ago and tried to
see her, but she was absent, the al
tornCy stated.
Baker is now somewhere between
his mothers home in Oakland and
his home in Juarez. All that is ne
ccsgary is to find him to mako a
clear ease for his fair client, the
attorney holds.
