There is one ex-marine who, no

Mrs. Hirshoopf ImpIores Aid
In Finding Missing
Husband.

81 want my husband back, and
] don't care what it costs to get
him."
Red-eyed and worn from q teary
vigil, little Mrs. Samuel Hirshcopf
this morning implored the assist
ance of the police and newspapers
in returning the twenty-two-year
old waiter who left the couples
lodgings at 455 G street northwest
yesterday afternoon and has dis
appeared.
Married Six Weeks.
The Hirschcopfs had been married
only six weeks as the result Of a
boarding house romance, and every
thing went smoothly with them,
sald the wife, until Sammy start
ID breaking his wedding-day prom
ise to cut out gambling.
Dispute led TO dispute, and the
upshot was that Mrs. Hirshcopf,
coming home sick from work yes
terday. found a note. declaring her
young husband was "sorry. but
must end it ALL" This she con-
strued as a suicide threat, but in
today's post came letter on Y.
n. II. A. stationery relating that
Sammy" was going away. and
that she would never hear from him
again unless he made good.
Mrs. Hirshcopf AYERS the hus-
hand has left town with an older
man. a gambler and his evil genius.
Though he had only S. or 81, he
lie expert at getting about the coun-
try by the beat" route, and she
thinks he is headed either for Cleve-
land or Detroit.
But She Wants Him Back.
"Gambling's his only trouble"
she said. Frequently he'd lose
his whole weeks salary the day he
was paid"
Another factor entered into Hirsh-
copf's discomfort, according to his
letter. He accuses Mrs. Hirshcopf
Of taxing him with things for
which she readily excused her first
husband. The young woman denied
any such invidious distinctions.
She bought Sammy his clothes, she
said, land nobody dressed better"
She also gave him pin money when
he had stacked up against a stiff
game and contributed his salary.
But with all his gambling faults,
little Mrs. Hirshcopf wants her
Sammy back, and wants him bad.

the growing breach between Italy
and France over the policies
Premier Poincare has followed In
the Rhine advance. At first
staunchly supporting France, Italy
has now swung away to a point
where it would not be surprising to
Washington observers if Rome and
Paris come to open disagreement in
a short time. This, it was pointed
out, win further isolate France
and make her position in the Rhine
land all the more difficult to main
tain.
Instead of then standing alone
against France, Great. Britain would
have the support of Italy, and the
combined pressure Of British Italian
influence might bring, it was said,
a modification of Frances drastic
policy.

But as for that, the old Visconti
himself could not keep his off wo-

saying to herself, "Oh, well, that's

who took it out in caring about

harmless that was-in comparison!
How nice it was in comparisoul
Had she ever been impatient with
Father because he cared so much
about what he ate and drank:
She felt a little wave of affection
for him. She really must try to
get back to Paris for a few days,
and make sure that Biron was
keeping up to the mark.
There, the last person was serv-
ed. And everybody had somebody
to talk to. Oh, how tired she
was, how sick of all this! This was
a soiree musicale! These were the
people on whom she was to count
for musical success. She was
supposed to be here to play
Beethoven! She broke into a merry
Gus laugh at the idea.
OF course she had known that
Mr.. Livingstone would be en-
chanted at the invitation from:
Donna Antonio. And of course
Mr.. Crittenden would be too. Any
body would. To have made such
an impression on Ambrogi-it vas
remarkable!
But he wasn't enchanted. He
said he wasn't going. What under
the sun did that mean? Did he
think he could get an invitation to
dinner If he held off from this one
to tea? Yes, probably that was it.
Well, she wasn't sure. that was the
way to work Ambrogi. Still you
never could tell. Perhaps the bold.
