what l can do make you happy"
 This letter he met with stony silence, Shelagh testified.
 The dukes next marital venture was with Mrs. Violet May Geraldine Row ley, daughter of Sir William Nelson This was brief. The proud Shelagh waited a long time before admitting she was unhappily married, but Violet was of more vigorous temperament.
 One of the amusing stories told about the duke and his second duchess concerned Niolet's sudden trip to DeauvilIe. Hearing that her husband was having yachting party near the famous resort, she followed him. She boarded the yacht. The duke and his guests were ashore. Going through the boat she gathered up all the femi- nine clothes she found and flung them into the sea.
 Hats, lingerie and costly frocks floated on to the shore. to the scandalized delight of the bathing crowds
 Soon after this episode the duchess startled Mayfair by complaining that her husband had given instructions she was not to be admitted to his house. She tried to enter, she said, but the tootman acting upon the dukes orders, turned her out. There was tremcnd, GUS amount of publicity about that incl dent. The papers were filled with the marital troubles of the duke and the duchess. In the end she won d divorce suit against him
 Meanwhile the Dukes daughters were growing up. The elder dsugh- ter, Lady Ursula Grosvenor, had hc- come engaged. It was arranged that her father should give her away at the altar. Thus he and his first duchess met again. London was still more sur prlscd, however, when, short time ago, his second daughter was given coming-of-age ball by the Duke and the first Duchess together.
 For weeks Bourbon House, the scene of the ball, was in a state of elaborate preparation and excitement It was 10 be the affair of the season. Shelagh, meanwhile, had married Captain Lewis, who, for time had been her secretary The situation was indeed interesting
 The Duke and Shclagh, however, did not permit the slightest hint of any differences they might havc had in the past to spoil the party. None would have dreamed, to see them together That they had ever parted, lot alono that she had another husband, and that

lO NdHI lO marry lIle Luxe or Westminster
 ,Ehe Duke appeared to revel in his freedom. To have seen him supping at the Embassy at two in the morning, or lunching at the Savoy at two in the afternoon, none would have thought that he considered getting married again.
 But events changed suddenly. Lord Castlerosse, the famous English jour nalist. and Lady Castlerosse, invited both Loclia Ponsonby and the Duke. The Duke was attracted to her immedi- atelr. She is said, incidentally, to re- scmblc both Shelagh and Violet, his two cx-Wives.
 That night it was noticed that they danced together frequently. They went 10 the Cafe dc Paris to dance and then on to Taglioni's. When the crowd be- gan to thin out, the Duke decided he wanted to dance in the privacy of his home. So he and Loelia and the rest of the party, as well as Taglioni's band, went with him to his home.
 Three weeks later the engagement of Loeha and the duke was announced. Since then 1t would seem as though the dukes cnthusiasms have been tenn percd. Loelia is said to be a de- termlned, resoIute young woman. She ls a cousin of the famous Elizabeth Ponsonby, who rather shocked London by staging a moch-marrisge and mock wedding, party ln which she played the role of bride.
 Mayfair understands that LoeHa Is determined to do her best in reform ing the duke, if he needs reforming. It Is possible that she may think the two former duchcsses were far too old fashioned in their methods of handling hlm and that they spoiled him.
 So Mayfair is watching with a keen and amused interest to see whether the dukes marriage will be permanent this time. One thing is expected: If he should appear with horsewhip he will be met with something just as ef- tcctIve. If he gives orders that his wife be refused admission, he may possibly find himself on the outside.
 At least that is what the friends of the couple believe.
 Still, they expect nothing startling in the newest matrimonial venture of the duke. He is less interested in Dcauvillc and is not seen at the old familiar haunt5 in London quite SO ottcn Some even say that all he wants is just good, quiet, oldfashioncd home life.

would not be accomplished by his son.
 But one day he decided 10 take the duchess abroad, as a sort of peace of ferlng, leaving the boy at home with nurses. While they were away the lit tie heir fell i'll. Nobody knew what alled him. Perhaps he longed for his parents. At all events, his illness was short and when the distraught parents returned, 1t was to discover that their little boy was dead.
 Their common sorrow did not seem to draw them more closely together, however. The duchess let it be known that she did not believe her husband could understand her grief. He, on the other hand, bitterly criticised the choice of nurses for the boy. Their two little daughters appeared to be of scant interest to him, in comparison with his grief over the death of his son.
 As a result he plunged more avidIy than ever into gaiety. Mayfair and later Deauville and the other smart watering places of the continent began to hear many stories about his gay parties and his adventures. So much so that 1t was said he and Shclagh at last were at the parting point
 At thl6 pcrlod the Duke found no amusement too wild, no cccentricty too absurd, as long as 1t helped him to forget the loss of his son. Once the Marquess of Cholnondeley, who was very proud of having made his house as he thought, burglar-proof, attended a dinner party the Duke gave. The Duke openly scofIed at the Marqucss' s confidence in his inventions, and dared the guests to burgle the Marouess's home. The guests became so excited over the idea that some of them, it was said, did break into the house, and they carried off many of the Mar queSs's valuabes. These, in due time. however, were returned, but 1t was one of thost practical jokes tat did not end with laugh. The Duke was held tQ blame for it.
 |Passonatcly fond of beauty, the Duke, nonethclcSs, was a mass of con- tradictions. He would do favor5 for

 The cause of the final break between himself and Shelagh is not definitely known. But little by little Mayfair be- gan to hear that Shelagh had gone to one of the estates and isolated herself.

SWAMP SEARCHED
 FOR COUPLE TODAY
Possible Murder Mystery Spurs
 Police to Activity

Hudson, Mass. Aug. 9 P}-State troopers today prepared to search the cold, damp confines of Cedar Swamp for the bodies of William Stefanovicz and his wife, Stacia, who disappeared from their isolated farm near here several weeks ago
 State Detectives Edward J. Sher- lock and Edward P. O'Neil have ex- hausted every clue that might lead to their being found alive and be- lieve that the enderly Polish couple met the same fate that befell the or iginal owner of the farm 70 years ago. Under the same mysterious cir cumstances, Tiger" Hale, then own CT of the farm, was tossed into the quicksands of Cedar Swamp after he had been robbed of s4,000.
 While Massachusetts troopers con- lives examined the stained walls of the bedroom occupied by Stefanovicz and his wife, a search was under way for Joe Stefanosky, farm hand. The search for Stefanosky who had $500 in cash from rents and the proceeds of auctioned cattle when last seen several days ago, led police into New Hampshire.
 At the time of his disappearance he had told two hired men that he was going to Nashua, N. H, to bail his sweetheart out of jail. No trace of him was fourd there
 He alone. detectives say. holds the key to the solution of the myste- rlous disappearance of the couple.

Atlantic City, Aug. 3 UP)-Alvn J (Shipwreck) Kelly planned to come down today from the 250-foot fagpole on which he has been sit ting for 50 days, confident that his endurance record would really en- dure.
 The "sit" started out as a prac- tice affair, but ended in a contest when Shipwreck learned, from pa pers that were hoisted to his airy perch above the Million-Dollar steel pier, that the Hunter brothers n Chicago were spending a few weeks aloft in their airplane.
 His professional pride at stake, Shipw. eek decided he would have to take the ''sit" in earnest and pile up good lead over their record Of 653 hours aloft.
 If all goes well until he comes down, he will have lived atop a 1S inch disc high in the air for 1,200 hours.
 Men were on hand to massage his cramped legs and body when he aEghted and take the kinks out of his muscles

Submarine Aircraft Carrier Will
 Be Established Fact By December

Washington, August g Pl-Nayy officials expect a submarine aircraft to be an accepted fact by December with the completion of a folding plane to be housed within the hull of undersea craft.
 Aeronautics experts today explain cd the new plane would be q low winged monoplane flying boat. Its wings will be detached while it is housed in a large tank just below the deck of the submarine. To launch the plane the undersea boat rises to the surface where wings are fitted in place. As the submarine sub merges. the plane is left foating ready 10 go.
 Climbs Up Deck
 To take the plane back aboard the afr portion of the submarine will be submerged, the plane will climb up his natural ramp to the deck where its wings will be quickly detached and the plane lowered into it's com partment just before the submarine goes under.
 The navy has had previous exper- fence with the submarine as an air craft carrier. But # was not .stis- factory About ten years ago a twin float seaplane with a 20-foot wing span developed was not a aucccss and plans fer further attempts in that direction were abandoned tenn porarily. In that experiment the time Of disassembling and storage was too long; the small craft was inadequate in heavy seas; the biplane type was unsuitable, having too high a center of gravity. and its pontoons were caught easily under waves, causing frequent pitch-overs.
 Stability Is Greater
 The new craft has a lower center of gravity with a consequent increas- ing stability on water.
 T. could not he operated in very rough seas however, and its prin- cipal use is considered 0 lie in mak- ing scouting expeditions from shoI- tered waters, advising its parent ship of the enemy position by radio be- fore returning to a landing.
