"You don't sound like a French
man to me- a servant said, "but
anyway, she won't answer to
French, English, German or Scandi-
navian'
The interesting game of finding
what the French woman was doing
in this country, started in New York
two weeks ago. Refusing to make
any statement, she started across
the country in the private car of the
Baldwins, the mystery growing all
the while.
A frecfor-all battle between the
Baldwin servants and news camera
men featured the arrival in South
crn California. Baldwin NJ. Bald
win and the Baldwin cohorts were
so busy protecting Mile. Lenglen
from the cameras that the party's
baggage came on in here, although
the party left the train at Glendale.
Romance Denied
The romance between the tennis
star and Baldwin NJ. Baldwin first
was rumored when the grandson of
Luckyo took after the Pyle ten
mis- group when it left here to con
tinue its tour of the United States.
Subsequently the reported love af-
fair was rccurrent in Europe. Now
the action has shifted back to the
original scene.
Baldwin NJ. Baldwin is ono of the
four grandchildren and heirs of f.
j. Baldwin, better known as
- Lucky who earned fortune and
his nickname in horses, mining and
ranching, in the carly days Of the
west.
Dcnials of Baldwin NJ. Baldwin s
engagement to Mile. Lcnglcn are
based on the fact that Baldwin al
ready is married. However, he and
his wife, Mrs. Helen Baldwin, have
been separated for some time. She,
ut present, is living in Los Angeles.
Anyway, Mile. Lcn@lan is at the
Baldwin home and, though she is
near Hollywood she has emo iutcn-
tion of entering motion pictures. y
