AUTO LICENSE DENIED,
MAN, 80, TO QUIT N. ].
Pleas For Permit Refused on Account
of Age-Has Driven
20 Years

East Orange, N. j., April 21.-Ed-
ward E. Tompkins, so years old of 149
North Sixteenth street, will move out
of New Jersey, where he has lived for
the last ten years, IL his license to
drive an automobile is not renewed.
He told this to State Motor Vehicle
Commissioner C. NJ. Dill when Din in
formed him that because of his age he
probably will not renew Tompkins IL
cense.
You are driving me out of the
! state. am determined to continue
driving an automobile" Tompkins
told the Commissioner.
Il am sure 1t would be better to
make the roads safe by driving out of
the state one disappointed driver than
to endanger great number of per-
sons by giving license to those whose
physical condition is such that it is
not advisable to let them drive an au-
tomobile."
Il have been driving an automobile
for twenty years and during that time
L have never had an accident"
Tompkins said. II am just as capable
to run an auto as was twenty years
ago."
Perhaps you are, mentally, but not
physically" Dill answered.
Il am physically, too," Tompkins
retorted.
Il don't think you are,' Dill re-
Joined. Il will make an investigation
of your case and let you know the re-
suit. but I think the answer will be
No"
This is the first case in the history
of New Jersey in which Motor Com
missioner has indicated that he would
refuse to grant license because of
old age.

In the meantime, as has been said,
rumor has it that she will not return to
her husband, and that her marriage, like
that of COnsuelo's, also will end eventual
ly in divorce.
And now as to Twin-sister Gloria's sud-
den romance.
Gloria and Mr.. Vanderbilt met quite
casually. 1t took less than six months for
their affection for each other to grow so
intense that marriage had to follow.
Gloria, fed up with the restrictions of life
In her fathers home at Brussels, had de-
cided to carve out fame and fortune by
the way of the motion picture studios
given small part by the Cosmopolitan
Productions in the film, "The Young
DIANA" one of the many notable triumphS
of the beautiful motion picture star, Miss
Marion Davies.
1t was while in her second picture,
Enemies of Women" that she met Mr..
Vanderbilt one night at a supper dance.
The affair was an informal one at a
Broadway restaurant. And from their
first dance, so those who know say, the
two We're in love with each other.
Miss Morgan was most carefully chap
erOned all during her movie career by the
fashionable Glenn-Stewarts, of New York,
who are old friends of the Morgans, and
it was under Mrs. Stewards eyes that the
love affair progressed. The several men,
bers of the Morgan family, including the
unfortunately welded sisters, were in
Brussels when the courtship reached its
climax.
Mr.. Stewart cabled Mr.. Morgan for
advice. The Morgans, evidently resigned
to the fact that their daughters married
whom and when they pleased, cabled ap-
prevail
But another odd fact arose in this ro-
nance early in its development. And

To all it seemed that, despite the many
such marriages that have been failures,
this one would be a success Con-
gratulations were showered on the couple,
who soon left Paris to spend their honey
moon in the chateau of the Counts fam
lily in the south of France.
Then Paris paper printed an obscure
announcement that the Countess de
Maupas had filed divorce proceedings
against her husband.
The real reason was not given, only in
compatibility being alleged Efforts were
made to patch up the affair. The father
and mother of the Countess made fire.
quent trips from Brussels to Paris The
family of the Count also interviewed, for
it appears that the Count was intensely
in love with his young bride.
Even the judge tried to bring about
reconciliation, but Gloria's sister, Con-
suelo, was indifferent to his pleadings To
the appeals of her husband she was also
deaf.
What were her real motives in divorc-
ing the Count? These are a mystery
Onlv her family and intimates, perhaps
know. Was it the size of the dot which
the Countess brought to her husband, but
which dwindles under the everlasting de-
mands of European noblemen-a dot that
could not be replenished by the Morgan
family-that caused the break? Or had the
glamor and lure of title proved an illu-
sion and fiction-the same rocks on
which many other romances had been
wrecked?
Had the Countess finally come to the
conclusion that after all, good Ameri-
can provider was preferable to a Count
with a comparatively empty bank account?
Is there another man" waiting?

bit of bad luck, argue the superstitious.
The sentiment, the motive, could not
avert it,
But to return to. the atmosphere of
divorce which makes fashionable society
regard with such misgivings the durabil-
ity of this last odd Vanderbilt marriage.
The matrimonial difficulties of the Van
derbilts are, of course, well known.
Reginald not so long ago was divorced by
his first wife, who was Cathleen Gebhardt
Nelson, the daughter of the socially
prominent Mrs. Frederick Nelson, and the
first Mrs Reginald is now the wife of
Sydney Colford, whose wife divorced him.
There are few of the Vanderbilts who
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-01

have not decided either to give up matri-
mony or to try it again with some one
else.
Gloria is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Hays Morgan and her father is the
United States Consul General to Belgium.
She has two sisters, Thelma, her twin,
and Consuelo, who is year older than
she. While the Morgans have an excel
lent position in foreign diplomatic circles,
they have not much money and are not
recognized by fashionable New York
society.
Sister Consuelo has already divorced
her titled French husband, the Count de
Maupas, whom she married less than two
years ago. And Twin-sister Thelma, who
eloped with Mr. James Vail Converse
the millionaire grandson of the late
Theodore N. Vail of New York, is now liv-
ing with her mother in Brussels, apart
from her husband, and, it is reported, is
about to begin divorce proceedings in
Paris
1t is also interesting to note that just
as Gloria, aged eighteen, married man
almost three times her age, so sister
Consuelo's Count is nearly fifty and twin
sisters Mr.. Converse is over forty
years old. Like sister Gloria's husband,
Twin-sister Thelma's husband has also
been divorced from first wife.
The first wedding of the Morgan girls
was that of COnsuelo, who also was only
seventeen years old when her engage
mcnt with the Count de Maupas, member
of an old and aristocratic French family,
was proclaimed. The match was an
nounced as a real love one and not, like
so many foreign alliances, marriage
merely for the acquisition of a title. The
tastes of the couple were harmonious.
Both were excellent shots and skilled in
horsemanship. The Count and his young
fiancee spent much of their time in sports
The wedding soon followed.
Paris has seen few such ceremonies
with an American girl as the central fig
ure. Despite the comparative obscurity
of the Morgans and their lack of wealth.
French nobility, leaders in French and
American society and many personalities
like Marshal Joffre and others were
present at the wedding.

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-01

Then followed Twin
sister Thelma's romance.
AS there is a superst1-
ton that twins fare alike
through tn e world,
Gloria cannot find much
comfort in Thelma's en-
periences. Her marriage
to Jimmy" Converse
was as sudden and as
unexpected as Gloria's
to "Reggie." The chief
difference in it was that
Thelma, unlike her twin,
overlooked the little de-
tail of asking her par
ents' consent to be mar
ried. The first thing
either the mother or
father knew was the
published announcement
that the girl, who hap
pened to be in New
York at the time, had
run away with Jimmie"
to a neighboring city and
been married.
1t is the failure to
have advised the par
ents of her plans that is
one reason of the re-
ported GOODNESS that has
sprung up between Mrs.
Converse and her hus-
band. For Mrs. Morgan,
on learning that the
wedding took place, is
s al d emphatically to
have disapproved it, and
on a recent trip to New
York took her daughter
back with her to Brus-
sells, where she is now
living with her mother
and father.

delicate sentiment on the part of the
bride. Instead of wearing white for a
wedding dress, she wore the colors of her
husbands stable
Now, the old belief is that for bride
to wear any color but white is to invite
bad luck. 1t is particularly unlucky to
wear violet. The colors which Mr.. Van
derbilts horses carry are gray with
violet tone, and white.
So deeply in love is young Mrs. Wander
bilt that she insisted not only upon defy
ing the tradition of the brides white dress
herself, but had her solitary attendant,
Mrs. Glenn-Stewart, wear the same colors
How could she expect anything but

WHEN 1t is taken into consideration
w that there are only 1900 prohi-

country. it will at once be realized that
the work they have done has been far
greater than the general public realizes.
Many of these men have been killed or
injured in the line OF duty. for at all
times they are running risks that are not
cared for by the average citizen.
It is true that there have been cases
where men employed by the bureau have
been dismissed from the service for
cause, yet In the main. the majority Of
these agents are honest and .conscien-
tious and many of the stories that one
reads about their dishonesty, according
to Col. Jones, are based upon rumors
and hearsay. While 1t is true that money
has been collected for protection" by
