4 inset Of Romance Is Rust,
Millicent Rogers DISCOVERS
Count Salm, Her Threadbare Husband, Accepts
100000 To Withdraw al /.

: PARIS, May 1O.---Count Salm, the
threadbare Austrian nobleman who
thought he had caught $4,000 900
bride when he secretly and hurried1y'
married little Millicent Rogers in New
York last January, wasia piker after
all. Paris giggled over the champagne
as the regular Saturday night festivi-
ties swung into pace, over the report
that Salm Won He6gstraeten had aban-
doned all claims on the fortune Of Col.
III. III. Rogers, one Of the financial
giants of America, for the penny-ante
sum of 100000. For that trifle the
international adventurer, occasional
heart-breaker, movie actor and cabaret
dancer had agreed to quit Paris and
return to Vienna as Rogers sailed for
home on the steamship La France with
his crushed and disillusioned daughter.
Accepts Agreement
&. Friends Of the count-for any penni-
less nobfeman who can marry an A2heri-
can millionairess has friends-said he
had accepted an agreement which was
negotiated by Colonel Rogers and a
mysterious character described as Count
Salm's father. Thereby, they said, the
count was to emerge from the channels
of sensational publicity which flow
through the night-world of Paris, and
go to Vienna, while the disillusioned
and unhappy Millicent returned home
on board the steamship La France with
her daddy. s.@
All parties to. the negotiations tried
to maintain secrecy about the affair.
Rogers stopped at the Hotel Champs
Elysee and the mysterious father of
the count was an inmate of the Hotel
Lott, whose, household staff had been
well tipped BY Salm, presumably with
the last of the proceeds fof Millicent's
pawned jewels.
Count Is Worried -
Millicent and her count stayed at, q
modest hotel, but they occupied sepa-
rate apartments and their residence
under one roof seemed to- be a. mere
concession to outward form. The tiIisel
of romance apparently had turned to
rust and Miilicent's plumed knight to
high-society gate-crasher. The bell
hops of the counts hotel said he was
nervous. apparently worried and .un-
tdlhdllVe. f1 e. A2
As Paris got the story, Colonel Rog-
ers bided his time, though his heart
was tortured by the adventures through
which his only daughter was passing
with the count. He may have WINGED
when the count was garrulously issuing
statements at the Ritz Carlton in New
York just after the marriage. He may
have clenched his hard fists and set his
chin when the count, explored what
American men would consider the. depths
of human degradation by selling SEN
sational story of his courtship and
romance with the coloners daughter.
He may. have longed to open his purse
and help his child when Milly and the
count were low in. funds and Salm did
not scruple to pawn her Jewels so that
he might continue to- dine and dress
well. But still the colonel waited until
he thought the time was right. Then
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-11

he came to Paris, and, from all appear
ances, put an end to the unhappy adj
venture of his child.
Are At Sea Now
The colonel and .Miliicept are at sea
now. They are registered on the roll
of La France as Colonel Rogers and
daughter" There is nothing on the
big book, filled with famous and power
full names, about Countess Salm."
Count Salm saw Millicent off at the
station and took the next train for
Vienna. Their acquaintance thought
this was likely to be their last meet
ing as husband and wife. The count
got money somewhere because he dis
patched some to Milan to pay forward
ing charges on some of his baggage from
that point to Vienna.
Milly and the count had a glittering
career on the continents They were to
be seen at the tea dances and night
clubs day after day, night after night
That was the. counts way of living, but
not Millicent's. She. had been reared
in an atmosphere of luxury and refine
ment in New York. Her circle did not
include the flashy, the gaudy resorts OF
imitation society, 1t was commonly
understood that Millicent was grad
ually disposing of her jewels to meet
current expenses as her father had re.
fused to receive the count and her own
private income was inadequate to even
her own casual needs.
When the colonel suspected that the
jewels must be about gone. he came to
Paris. 1t is not known whether Mill
cent sent him an s. o. s. call. Per-
haps she did. At any rate, the colonel
seems to have chosen the psychological
moment for negotiations and now he
has his daughter back--a sad, disillu.

been criticized by none, but commend

He was not reelected at the end of

Spain brought about the repeal Of this

which the coroner Of this county re-
