This is important change, because countries reveal

New York, Dec. Sit is generally

Al Jolson's. Frank Tinney's wife
lives on an ample estate bought by
her errant husband. Madge Kennedy
has Just accumulated small fortune
in Wall Street. Anna FitZiu, Metro

900 or more in diamonds and pearls.
That represents only part Of her
profit in stock exchange speculation.
