With this in his mind, and the
memory Of Holly's face, as she had

picked up the coffee-cup. Then he
groaned and put it down again.
She knew he was afraid she would
see that his hand was trembling.
She could not sew; she could not

the bit of Holly's wedding dress she
was working on.

MOSCOW, Nov. 3.-A divorce was
granted today to Feodor Chaliapin,
the famous Russian basso.
Chaliapin is now in Paris, where
he filed suit for divorce through the
Russian embassy week ago. Nine.
Chaliapin and her daughters are in
Moscow.
The case was considered and the
decree rendered by a woman judge
an unmarried woman of %. The
whole proceeding took only Is min
utes, because, under the Soviet law,
the court is compelled to grant a
divorce automatically at either
party's request.
Nine. Chaliapin was too nervous
to appear in court. She was rep
resented by a lawyer and by her
daughter, Nine. Irene Bakshieff.
The latter, upon advice Of counsel,
entered a moral protest" but she
was powerless to intervene legally.
The court in granting the divorce
pointed out that Chaliapin had
promised to pay $500 alimony
monthly, adding:
But this payment must be left
to Chaliapin's honor because he
lives in foreign countries and IL
outside the reach of Soviet law"
The singer, who is well known
IN the United States, is said to be
planning another marriage.
Yolle Ignatievna Chaliapin. the
divorced wife, is 81 years old. She

Hays action in forbidding VIII
