Chosen Cinderella
Found to Be Far
From UnsOphistGated

New York, Aug. bAtAP)-Tne
wonderland into which Mary Louise
Spas. daughter of Bohemian immi-
grants. stepped yesterday when she
was adopted by Edward A. Brown
ing, millionaire realtor, today be-
came dazzling reality with it's
main highway Fifth Avenue and it's
chief diversion an Arabian Nights
shopping tour.
Whether the transition from her
former life into her new one was, as
startling as had first been supposed,
however, did not seem to detract
from the keen pleasure she took in
her first day in her new role.
Neighbors Of the Spas, in talks
with reporters. today insisted that
the girl was nearer 81 than 16, as an
nounced by Mr.. Browning. had work.
ed in the movies and was engaged
to dentist prior to her adoption.
The Spas family, they asserted, far
from being in poor circumstances,
enjoyed the income from a 100000
apartment house in addition to the
fathers salary as the superintendent
of another house.
Although 1t had been announced
that Mary was an only child, neigh
bors also insisted that another
daughter. Mildred. is now in Denver,
where she has gone for health.
Mr.. Browning. however appeared
undisturbed by these developments.
Originally he had announced that
the winner of his Cinderella race for
a companion for his foster child,
nine year old Dorothy Sunshine,
would have to be an orphan who
had never known anything but pow
erty and misery. He also specified
that she must be about IL years old.
Today Mr.. Browning insisted that
Mary was lust 16 years old, while
she added that she was Just over
sixteen"
Happy In their lew relationship,
Mr.. Browning and his adopted
daughter spent the day touring rich
and sumptuous shops.
Today's shopping excursion ended
In the purchase of 40 dresses, 20
pairs of delicate hosiery, 10 pairs of
specially designed shoes and dozens
of other bits of feminine apparel to
complete the costly ensemble. But
that is only the start of the wardrobe
that the modern Cinderella will
have, Mr.. Browning said,' for 1t will
not be long before she will have $50
of the smartest frocks with a maid
to care for them.

Little wonder, that the crowds

this rattling story, Johnnie Walker is
supported by an all star cast. The
