School Romance Leads To
 Her Ezopen,e11t At 16

Editors Note: This Is the
 third of four stories on the life
 of Jean Harlow, the famous
 platinum blonde of the movies,
 whose husband, Paul Bern, re.
 gently ended his life.
 By NEA Service.
 When, five years ago this month, Hollywood's most famous platinum blond, Jean Harlow, became the bride of Charles F. McGrew II, young and wealthy Chicago sports man, in hurry-up wedding at Waukegan, III, even the marrying justice predicted happiness. :.
 It was the initial altar adventure for both. They were madly in love. There was no opposition. And "Chick" as the playboy bride groom was affectionately called by his boarding schoolgirl bride, had money.
 Their marriage was the climax of whirlwind romance begun five months before while Jean, who was then still answering to the name of Harlean Carpentier was a freshman at Ferry Hall in Lake Forest, a suburb of Chicago.
 Early in the spring. of 1927, "Jada" Leland, a schoolmate of Harlean's from Detroit, asked the future screen star if she would like to go to the Drake hotel in Chi cago the following Saturday night with a boy named "Chick" Me- Grew.
 "Who is he?" asked Harlean.
 "Jada" told her. He had been graduated from Lake Forest academy the year before and had atetnded the University of Illinois for a while. His father was prominent Chicago lawyer who with his mother had met a tragic death by drowning at Trout Lake, Wisconsin, several years before. They had left him a for tune.
 Harlean accepted the invitation and the following Monday morn ing the girl-filled dormitories of Ferry Hall rocked with new ex-

itch to shingle and swirl our long, ish bobs. But the new shingles. they tell us, are not severe-no shaved necklines. They'll prob ably slant to one side, ending in a curly pattern where the hat shows off the hair. Or they may roll a bit-but not floppy roll. Turns and twists in hair may look cas- ual, but they preserve a neatness that is almost 1890.
 Are you blessed with young. delicate, cameo features? If you are, fool around with a fringe such as Helen Twelvetrees wears in a recent picture. Tired of that conventional dip on either side of the part? Try a slanting hairline across the brows. Ruth Chatter ton does this effectively. All girls with nice, level brows and regular features should take leaf from the style book of Kay Francis. On the right people, a center part ing is very, very good; on the wrong ones it's horrid!
 Almost any hat would look we'll framed by those turned-up Ina Claire curls. If you've learned JuG OI Oho SoA Ao it's absurdly simple brush them on a slant over your finger, rather than horizontally. We're getting away this season from too much regularity.
 "When the elegant evening mode really comes into its own, we'll gloat over formal, almost artificial cultures. Carole Lom- bard's bangs, for instance, are the envy of her associates on the lot. Wise girl-.she knows everybody can't wear m! Irene Dunn's class ic long bob, on the other hand, is one of those always right, dis tinguished arrangements that al- most anyone could wear with charm. Women whose faces or fig ures are enhanced by hats with brirns would do we'll to look hard at this simple, smart style. It's fattering to any age. too"

citement. Harlean Carpentier had met the man."
 There followed a typical board- ing school romance. Ferry Hall, still adhering to the rigid social code formulated by it's founders a half century before, forbade Harlean to have week. night dates" with her new en. thusiasm.
 However, the schoolma' ans made no apparent effort to pre- vent Chick" from joining the procession of amorous youths who, hopeful of stolen glimpses of their heart interests. nightly drove their autos around "The Circle" the graveled road about which the main building of the aristocratic old school are grouped.
 As young McGrew slowly drove past the dormitory in which Har- lean resided, her pale gold head would suddenly pop out of an up- per window. Then a note written in her rather vertical hand would flutter to the earth. At last came June. and vaca- ton.
 Harlean went home to the mod est little house on Central avenue, Highland Park, into which her mother, now the wife of Marine Bello, had recently moved.
 "Chick" followed. Seldom a day passed that Highland Parkers did not see Ferry Halls whitest- haired freshman snuggled in the front seat of his expensive auto obile.
 That summer "Chick" proposed and Harlean accepted. Mrs Bel To gave them her blessing in ex- change for their promise to have a large church wedding with bridesmaids and flowers. Then on Sept 21, when Jean was 16 and "Chick" but 20, they eloped to Waukegan and were married.
 The much-in-love bridegroom, to show his bride that she had taken him for better. not worse, promptly gave her an expensive automobile, instructed his attor- ney to set aside f$300,000 from

his fathers, estate as a perma- nent trust fund for her. and vol unteered to build her any kind of house she wanted, any place she liked.
 The youthful newlyweds motor- ed to New York in Harlean's honeymoon car, then steamed through the Panama Canal to Call ifornia. They had no plans--other than the pursuit of happiness. If they liked Los Angeles, they might settle there. If they didn't-but Harlean did.
 Harlean knew few people there on her arrival, but her striking beauty and quick intelligence made her an immediate favorite with her playboy husbands many friends. It was one of them who dared her to take the .movie" test--the test which not only changed her atti- tude toward her husband, bNt to- ward life.
 That test reaped her a small part with Richard Dix in Moran of the Marines" But that bit was

New Hair Styles
 of Screen Stars
Bangs and Fringes Are New Note in Hair-
 dressing

Will Carole Lombards new bangs or Helen Twelvetrees' new est fringe make the right frame for your face? If you are tired of seeing yourself in the mirror, why not try one of the exciting new hair styles now agitating Hollywood? Hildegarde Fillmore, beauty editor of McCalls, has chosen some of the most interest ing and presents them in the Octo- Der issue of McCalls:
 Bangs, fringes, shell curls. sculpture curls, brush curls, shad- ow waves, snail curls-these are things you will be hearing when- ever hair is talked about this fall. Hair is now a frame for your face and a part of the design of your hat. Led on by the curling feath- CT wisps of advanced hat models, hair insists on going wispy, too. And when hats take that high in-the-back tone, hairdressers just

But when it came up for its second hearing, Jean revealed her married unhappiness in detail. From the witness stand she told brokenly how her husband, once when she asked him to buy her certain set of furs, had sacras- tically replied: What do you think I'm made of. money" She testified also to the pain in her shoulder he had given her on an- other occasionally Dumping her into manteipiece.
 In retaliation McGrew charged her with deliberately breaking her marriage vows by posing for pictures in too few clothes"
 But the court once more ruled in favor of La Harlow, and it re- reaffimed her right to the income from the trust fund, the home in Beverley Hills, and the automo- bile. Thus was ended her first romance.

enough to attract the screen eye of Hal Roach and a flve-year con- tract.
 Up to the time Harlean put her signature on that contract, Me- Grew had regarded her interest in motion pictures as just another of her enthusiasms. Then he be- gan to object.
 His objections received unex- pected support from her grand father, S. D. Harlow, 8 wealthy real estate man of Kansas City, Mo. He. told her she must choose between that contract and a codi- cil in his will, eliminating her from any share of his fortune. She chose the latter as the lesser of the evils and persuaded Roach to destroy the contract.
 Then death came to MT Har- low. Shortly thereafter Harlean inherited a plump sum from his estate for being a good,grand- daughter. She was still in mourn ing when, in the lobby of g. Hol- lywood hotel, she encountered Billy Joy, who besides being a brother of the well-known Leatrice is a movie scout and actors agent. He persuaded her to re- enter films and simultaneously he persuaded Howard Hughes to em- ploy her.
 Meanwhile affairs had been going from worse to still worse in the new $50,0OO honeymoon mansion which McGrew had built

time such a party was scheduled
 Miss Frieda Foltz took a party of weekend guests to one of the af- fairs recently. One of her guests waltzed with blacksmith, another learned the stomp from a farmers daughter, and the hostess herself danced the quadrille, one of the most popular of numbers at barn dances.
 At first the farmers turned out the cattle, engaged piano player and a. drummer, and began to dance. Business improved so rap- idly that 8 new floor was laid in the barn and a six-piece orchestra hired to furnish music, Miss Foltz said.
 Several other Illinois towns have reported success in the revival of barn dances, with their quadrilles. square sets, and round dances. So- ciety flocks to them, reports say, and comes again the next time.

He Repaid Our Pulaski Debt

GENERAL million Americans during

gallant Frenchman during the Revo-

phrased it. His name was DR.. Paul
Fitzsimmons Eve of Augusta, Ca. who

In 1881 when the people of northern
Poland revolted against Russian rule,
Doctor Eve formed a committee in
London to raise funds for them. Then

sional services to the Polish patriots.
Commissioned a major, he was with a
party that was driven into Germany
where he was interned and narrowly
escaped death from cholera. Through
the efforts of Lafayette he was finally
released and returned to America.
Doctor Eve took part as a surgeon
in the Mexican war and also served in
the war of the French and Italians
against Austria in 1859. Returning
again to America he entered the Con.
federate army and held high medical
rank under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
At various times. until his death in
Nashville, Tenn. in 1877 he held po-
sitions in medical colleges in Ken
lucky, Missouri and Tennessee.
Despite his many sacrifices in the
cause of Polish freedom. he refused
to take pay for his services but he

the reliable cements or other china
mending preparations that are to be
had at the drug store and read the
directions carefully. Whatever you
choose the first step should be to
wash the pieces to be mended in
warm water and soap and to dry them
thoroughly. Now piece them together
with your hands just to see whether
they will fit. Then apply the cement
to all broken pieces and fit them care
fully together.
A good plan If you have number
Of small pieces that are not inclined
to stay In place is to stick gummed
paper over them when once you have
got them into position. Later when
the piece is set you can scrape this
off carefully. For larger pieces you
will bind it in place with string or
tape while it is setting.

If thus you think, no other man
Is much inclined to think you can.
Who doubts himself has built a wall
Around himself the first of all.
And now must spend his strength and
time
His self-made barrier to climb.
And, even If he scales the top,
There is another thing to stop
His progress: it's the twisted wire
OF folly, habit and desire.
The brambles that will bar his path
Are often but the fruits of wrath
From seeds that he himself has sown.
l bid you never plant your own
And you will find a passage through
The pits that others set for you,
If you yourself no pits have set
Of futile sorrow and regret.
Yes, men will fall, and fall again,
Because they drag ball and chain
OF foolish pleasure, doubt or fear.
But. if you keep your vision clear,
Your purpose true, your morals clean,
Life has no bounds, luck no desmesne.
How far a man may go, my friends,
