table, while the Marquis and Miss Dolly,
making the best of a-to them-unpleas-
ant situation, kept each other more or
less unsatisfactory company. Shortly
after that Miss Dolly departed for Cannes,
on the French Riviera, leaving the love-
sick Marquis to sit gloomily alone. He
and his young English rival glared at each
other, but nothing was thrown across the
room.
Now, following this shifting of interest
on the part of pretty young Miss Ford
from the fiery Marquis to. the dashing
English millionaire, an Illuminating state

explain her interest in young Mr.. Brooks

And thus the apparently simple yet
complicated situation stands. Mr.. Brooks
bank loves Miss Ford and Miss Ford loves
Mr.. Brooksbank. But Mr.. Brooksbank
also loves his bulldog, and while Miss Ford
and the animal apparently get along "jolly
well' together, the dog seems to be
stumbling block in this unusual Partisan
romance of an unusually beautiful and
youthful American girl and her very
wealthy and much-admired sweetheart.
Marion Ford came to Paris about eight
months ago with her sister, Ethel, widow
of the late DR.. Juan G. del Castillo, who
was well-known Argentine physician of
New York, and who died there three years
ago after a married life of only six

at fifteen, she ran away from school and
tried to join chorus, of which her sister
Ethel was member, but the manager of
the show shooed her back to school until

when she should finish her studies. !,
It is a coincidence that that manager
was Harry Fox, former husband of Jancsi
Dolly, whose sisters path Miss Ford SO
strangely crossed in the Paris cafe, where
she met Mr.. Brooksbank and stole his love
from Roszika.

Brooksbank's lavish display of high-priced
automobiles, horses and dogs, as well "a
by his equally lavish expenditure of
money, hope that their offspring NAV
through him acquire an easy situation in
life.
Mr.. Brooksbank comes from one of the
Oldest families in England. One of biz
ancestors was the first to wear the Red
Cross in the Crusades against the Sar-
acens. His father, Captain Arthur Brooks

he does not make display of wealth as

Bulldog.
PARIS. March %.

FAhISg mdfcn ZZs
THE playwrights, the novelists and
the divorce courts the world over
are busy with the endless varieties
of the Eternal Triangle"-the tragic
game of hearts between man and two
women or a woman and two men. But at
the present moment the gossips of the
Boulevards are busy with an interesting
and quite unique variation of the more or
less tiresome human triangle.
There is scarcely better known figure
in Paris gay life than that multi-rnillion-
aire young Englishman, Mr.. Percy Brooks
bank-and his inseparable companion, his
faithful bulldog. Mr.. Brooksbank has un-
limited financial resources and the leisure
to enjoy his time and wealth.
1t is, therefore, not surprising that
young Mr.. Brooksbank and his money
and his three fine cars are regarded
as an extremely eligible outfit for matri-
mony. The eyes of many very charming
young women and many ambitious and
worldly mammas have been fastened upon
rich Mr.. Brooksbank, but nobody has yet
succeeded in catching him on Cupid's
hook
The reason is as novel as it is interest
ing, and young Mr.. Brooksbank has ex-
planned the secret of why he is still
bachelor in these words:
81 would have been married many times
had it not been for the restraining infiu-
ence of my faithful dogs devotion. When
| look back and consider what have es-
capped realize how great a friend my
bulldog really has been to me. But each
time, when 1 have narrowly escaped mat
rimony, it has seemed to me that the
charms of the one l temporarily adored
must prevail, and that my single-hearted
devotion to my dog must be sacrificed.
And, now, at the present moment, once
more feel the urge to make the plunge
and yet l cannot quite bring myself to
the thought of dividing my heart between
my dog and bride"
The eyes of all in the gay life of the
Boulevards and the cafes have watched
Mr.. Brooksbank and the coming and the
going of his favorites, each of whom was
expected to be the one who at last had
landed this splendid matrimonial prize
Thus it was that Mr.. Brooksbank's recent
attentions to one of the Dolly sisters at
tracted attention for time. Things were
reported to be going very well and whis-
pers buzzed throughout the cafes that the
handsome, well built, distinguished look
ing young Englishman was Miss Roszika
Dolly's fance-she herself, it was said,
had blushingly confessed that it was all
settled.
1t would have been a wonderful catch
for the Dolly sister. Many insisted that
it was highly unlikely that Roszika would
land such prize, and yet the pair seemed
lnseparable and the gossip of the cafes
had it that at last the young English mil
honaire was securely ensnared in Cupid's
net.
But Mr.. Brooksbank still besitated.
With the Dolly girl on one side the young
nIltonaire always seemed to desire the
presence OF his bulldog on the other side
Of his chair at the cafes or in his automo-

Brooksbank contemplated on the one hand
the charms of Roszika Dolly, and weighed
In the other balance of the scale his de-
voted affection for his faithful dog. some
thing happened.
The other night Mr.. Brooksbank, lead
ing his faithful bulldog and accomp awning
Miss Dolly, entered the Cafe de Paris.
Having selected table and seated himself
with his companion, the young millionaire
swept the other tables with glance, and
he met the eyes of Miss Marion Ford. a
very beautiful American girl of excellent
family, but who has chosen for herself a
career on the stage rather than the posi-
ton in society to which she is entitled.
Miss Ford is an extremely pretty girl
and has been very much admired by the
handsome young French Marquis Henri
de la Falaise, whose mother before mar
brandy makers. The young Marquis's at
tentions to Miss Ford, indeed, were such
that their friends began to look forward
to an early marriage.
Every night in the Partisan cafes that
the couple frequented the Marquis de la
Falalse virtually assumed the role of pro-
tector of this charming American girl, and
he managed to throw up such barrage
OF Icy Jealousy around their table that
other men did not dare approach.
And on the evening that the eyes of
Miss Ford and young Brooksbank met, the
watchful and alert Marquis de la Falaise
saw that the lingering gaze of Mr.. Brooks
bank seemed to awaken reciprocal interest
The Washington times., 1923-04-01

The Marquis jumped up excitedly and, ap-
preaching the table of the young English
man and paying no attention to Miss Dolly
or the dog, handed Mr.. Brooksbank his
card.
AT the same time the Marquis demand
ed satisfaction for what, according to the
French code of honor, he considered an
insult or an affront. The very idea that
the Englishman, total stranger, should
look so at a lady witlR whom he, the Mar
quis de la Falaise, was sitting! 1t was an
outrage, monsieur!
Young Mr.. Brooksbank. surprised at
the unexpected behavior of the French
man, took another look at Miss Ford, per-
celved something akin to a smile on her
countenance, and so he presented his card
to the Marquis! Thus, everything ap-
peared settled for an early morning en-
counter on the field Of honor, with pistols
or rapiers.
However, friends of the two gentlemen
interviewed. and what might have been a
tragedy thus was avcrted There was no
duel.
Friends Of the two couples, some nights
later, were surprised to see young Mr..
Brooksbank at the place the Marquis de

with the annual banquet, at which
Glenn Frank, New York editor, will
be the principal speaker. The annual
luncheon of the Methodist Episcopal
Social Service Federation was set for
today.
Today's speakers included DIR. NJ. r.

Predictions that q religious reVolu-
ton Ia coming were made by ]. Stitt
Wilson, former mayor of Berkeley,
Calf, at yesterdays sessions. Dec
larations that the church needs radf-
calism also were made by Mr.. Wilson
and other speakers.
Nothing has surprised me more
during the last twenty-five years than
the lack of radicalism on the part OF
laboring men," Mr.. Wilson said. THE
time when mankind lived as an indi
vidual worker has passed; man has
become caught in the mechanism Of a
civilization that is destroying itself.
IN the name of God we can challenge
this grip of economic injustice on
people. I believe we are on the verge
OF greater religious revolution than
the reformation.
