|G0ELETD DIVORCE
| NO SURPRISE
To SOCIETY
Husbands Mother Socially Is
"FundamentaIIst," While
Wife Is "Modernlst."
BY MARGERY REX.

Written for Cosmopolitan News 6ervrCo,
NEW YORK. Feb. 1S.--,A baby
has conspicuously failed to get his
beautiful mother into New York
and Newport society.
Robert Goelet, aged three years,
as social asset, SO far has made
no scores for Fernando Ria Bouch-
insky Goelet.
"Bobbie' Goelet. his father, has
done no better in reconciling the
differences Of place and opinion
That separate the former Princess
Ria Bouchinsky from Boobies"
mother, Mrs. Ogden Goelet.
Socially, the elder Mrs. GoeIet Is
beautiful young daughter-in-law
might be termed q 'modernist. |"
The two are Of course irreconcilable.
30 the former princess Ria
Bouchinsly," as Mrs. Robert Goe-
let No. Q, has sometimes been
called, Is getting q Paris divorce.
Mrs. Robert Goelet No. /, formerly
Elsie Whelen, Of Philadelphia, got
her divorce In 1914 after ten years
OF enduring the Goelet family pride,
OF which she said:
II am tired Of the constant
thought Of the Goelet name and
the way to maintain the Goelet
pride"
Society Not Surprised.
Society kept its fingers crossed
and held its breath waiting to see
whether or not Mrs. Ogden Goe.

exotic wife.
Society now untwines its digits,
heaves a sign and says:
II told you sor'
But If a husband named Goelet
and baby named after him are
not the open sesame to society, an
ex-wife may still wear the Goelet
name, and keep her own pride.
| AS the wife Of Robert Goelet, the
lovely Fernando could not main
tain her own pride, however strong
or weak it may be.
| AS his ex-wife she will have In

at intervals; money for which she
will have to beg no man.

old son, Robert, legal heir to Robert
Goelet, who is said to be worth
500, 900, 900.
Sold Beauty Secrets.
Yet only few years ago
Ferdinand Ria Bouchinsky was glad
to sell her beauty secrets to a
newspaper appropriately illustrated
by explicit photographs Of herself.
Suddenly these enterprises were
stopped. The exuberant beauty, wife
of Nicholas Ria Bouchinsky, pur.
chasing agent for the Car, had at
tracted too much attention. For
some reason she found 1t agreeable
to adopt quieter manner Of life.
| Ria Bouckinsky, large, blond
bearded Russian art connoiseur, al
ways puzzled observers by his in
difference not only to his wife's
charms but toward those who ad.
mired them too obviously. In 1916
they were divorced.
Cinderella was ready to marry
her prince.
| Ferndanda Rocchi, daughter of a
| professor Of art in Perugia Univer-
sity, wed at sixteen to the Russian
| Ria Bouchinsky, was now to be-
come the wife of Robert Goelet and
the mistress Of one of Americas
great fortunes.
Beauty alone, however, does not
recommend one woman to her sex.

And upon the smiles Of her own sex
depends her social position.
10 Remain I'm Paris.
Arnold Gentthe had said that she
was the most beautiful woman who
had ever posed for his camera.
But the ex-wife Of Ria Bouchinsky
was little too attractive for
Robert Goelet's stern mother. The
slightly Oriental, impassive charm
Of Fernandina's face in no way re-
assured Mrs. Ogden Goelet, who had
previously dislIked even Elsie
Whelen's, Boobies" first wife.
Three times that first engagement
was broken before Miss Whelen
finally became Mrs. Robert Goelet.
It seems probable that the former
princess, after her divorce, Will re.
main In Paris, where @ beauty IL re.
spected as much as a Goelet.

DIFFICULT FEAT
ACCOM- pLlSnED

I. A. Thomas, local contractor. ae.
complished a difficult engineering
feat here this week in his work of
reeonstructing the Kendall Brothers
building which burned ON August Is.
The heavy concrete side walls re.
NAMED standing when the rest of
west wall 'sagged out considerably.
1t was desired to utilize these walls
in the new structure, provided the
leaning wall could be Strengthened
up without breaking it.
Contractor Thomas accomplished
the task successfully, using cables
AMI eight chain blocks. The sagging
side wall has been plumbed, tied in
with the rear wall and anchored with
a heavier foundation. The work on
the new building is now going for
ward rapidly.
Nh. Thomas has just been given
the contract to build another new
building for Kendall Brothers to
house their battery business in
Brawley. Their new building there
will be 50x75 feet, all of concrete

several seconds. The time for this
car was one minute nineteen and one
quarter seconds.
This is the fifth successive hill
climb won during the year in New
