NEW YORK, March 26.-In a GER
ain rowdy little night club, which
san be distinguished by the fact that
It was raided neither by prohibition
officers nor by bandits on the morn
ng in question, Peggy Joyce rested
her golden head on a broad mascu-
line shoulder, and Broadway began
to buzz with rumors that. the owner
Of the shoulder might some day be
candidate for the job as Peggy's fifth
husband.
The mans features were familiar.
for many present had seen them pull
verified by Jack Dempsey one broil-
Ing July afternoon in Boyle's Thirty
Acres. Restored to their natural
comeliness. they wore a smile of
beatific contentment.
A romance between Georges Car
pentier and Peggy Upton Archer
Hopkins Joyce Morner would appeal
to Broadway because Of the pic
turesque careers of the pair.
Married? La! La!
The former boxer, who has been
dallying under the bright lights and
making overtures to the Kleig lights,
Is married, but, as they say on
Roadway, mot working at it." Re
cent Paris reports indicate a possible
rift in the Carpenter menage.
Peggy Joyce has been without a
husband for some time now, since
she divorced Count Morner, the
Swedish tooth-paste manufacturer,
in Paris last winter.
They made an attractive couple,
Georges and Peggy, the ''orchid
man" and the Virginia BARRIERS
daughter. With them was Peggy's
"kid sister," Lucille Upton. Trying
to be with them but getting himself
rather badly snubbed was Harry
Kendall Thaw. At an adjoining
table sat Vida Bennett, who re-
Gently trihed with 1874 worth of
Louisville affections, and Flo Leeds,
who says it isn't the woman, but
the other woman, who pays.
A little cross section of New York
celebrities, to say nothing of Paris,
Pittsburgh and Palm Beach. The
low ceilinged, smoke-filled room, vi
brant with jazz and gossip. A con-
tinuous cracking sound, which was
the breaking of the Volstead act.
Amidst such fetid hilarity, the twang
of the blind archer's bow sounded
as homogeneous as laughter in a
dentists waiting room. But Peggy
didn't seem to mind.
Harry Too Plump
Georges and the countess danced,
oblivious to the efforts Of the other
jewellers to catch their attention.
Harry Thaw mumbled his way
through the throng and tried to
"crash" at Peggy's table. The STAY
er of Stanford White has become as
ardent an habitue of New York
night life as ne was thirty years ago,
when he was the hoy spender" from
Pittsburgh. He is plump and per-
spiry and his eyes bulge. No one at
the table paid much attention to
Thaw's practically incoherent eff
forts to join in the conversation, so
he wandered away. A little while
later he was seated near the dimi-
nutive dance floor, coaxing a chorus
girl for her telephone number.
The juxtaposition Of Georges and
Miss Joyce gave the night birds,
that seldom take anything more
solid than gossip with their suppers,
plenty to talk about. 1t was re-
called that Peggy expected. to sail
soon for Paris and that Georges had
been flirting with a job in the
movies, which among the arts now
is graced by the countess. Just now
Carpenters rating in Bradstreet
would meet the Joyce ideas on that
subject was not clear. Peggy always
marries for love, but never turns
down the fortunte that comes with
It.
Wee Hours
It was a. m. in the morning be-
fore Georges tucked Peggy's
jewelled hand under his arm and led
the retreat.
