her to stay in the background socially for the Rrst year.
 During her second season in London I felt that the time was ripe for her to bid for royal favors. One night she was at one of the most exclusive London night clubs and by request sat down st the piano and played . few numbers. At nearby table were the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and Lord Mountbatten with a party.
 "The Prince sent Lord Mountbatten to bring Edythe to his table. Blythe, who was still following orders, explained gracefully and charmingly that she was just an unknown professional and did not feel worthy of the honor. She declined. But the Prince would not accept her rs- fusal, so Mountbatten made . second sortie and that time brought back the demure and blushing Blythe.
 Everyone knows what happened after that. Edythe was always seen in the company of the Prince and his friends. Through the Prince she met Gerald D'Erlanger, who fell in love with her."
 So the Cinderella romance of Edythe Baker ended in a glittering matrimonial triumph. And, if you're interested. Ger. aid D'Erlanger, who is twenty-sns, and his beautiful wife, who Ys twenty-seven, are spending their honeymoon on the Riviera.

 From these stark sentences you can build your own imaginative picture sf Edythe Bakers child hood. She ran away from school and home, went to Leavenworth, Kansas, and found a job playing the piano in a moving picture house.
 After two years of this work the mite of a pianist came back to Kansas City, which was still something of flash COW town." That is, the rich Kansas and Texas cattlemen and the richer Oklahoma oil men were always passing through in search of lavish and lively entertainment.
 In one of the cafes Blythe and her piano became the best drawing card. The rich cattle men and the richer oil men saw her and liked her, but she re- sisted any social advances. Per haps she felt even in those days that she was destined for the social heights.
 Then Harry Fox, we'll known comedian of vaudeville, saw her and offered her . job in his com pany. Shrewd, soft-eyed Edythe saw it was . step upward and she accepted.
 A year passed - Edythe was moving toward New York and fame. The act in which she appeared opened at . theatre Bronx. Walter Kingsley, noted as . press-agent but as . vaudevil heard her play.
 "Afterward," he said, "l wei stage to meet her. had neve of her before, but I felt from she played that she had . splendid I told her that and said that if sl place herself in my hands and fo advice I could guarantee her f. fortune. She agreed"

He explained: "I have given the same advice that I gave to Blythe Baker to at least one hundred other girls, but she was the only one who ever had the determination to carry through the plan.

 "I told her to have a room at

 always adhered to this rule.
 "The rules on public appearances she also followed to the letter. She never appeared in public except with people who were a credit to her. Rather than go out with just anybody she would stay home and read.
 "The rule on night clubs was diff cult one, for every girl in Edythe's posi- ton receives many invitations to such places and every girl likes good time I told her to visit only the best and then to arrive late.
 By one or two o'clock in the morning most of the women at night-clubs are rather bedraggled.

Criminal Action Is The Ninth
Growing Out of the Teapot
Dome Investigation.

Washington-The ninth pending
criminal action growing out OF the
senate's investigation of the Teapot
Dome-Elk Hills leases was written IN
federal court dockets when Robert w.
Stewart, chairman of the board of the
Standard Oil Co. Of Indiana, was In
dicted for refusing to answer ques'
lions asked by the Teapot Dome COM
mittee.
Stewart was charged by the grand
fury with having refused to answer
questions concerning the disposition
of Liberty bond oil profits of the Con-
tinental Trading Co. The committee,
seeking to trace s3,0S0,000 of the
profits, some of which reached former
Secretary Albert B. Fall in a S233,000
payment from Harry F. Sinclair,
asked Stewart if he knew anyone who
received any of the bonds, and if he
had discussed the bond transactions
with Sinclair.
The Standard Oil man refused to
answer the two questions on two diff
ferent occasions, and was indicted on
one count for each refusal.
He was first called before the com
mittee February 2, and after declining
to answer was recalled the next day
and again refused to answer the same
questions. He based his refusal upon
the ground that the questions were
not pertinent to legislation, and that
the committee was without jurisdic-
ton to make the investigation.
