Gayety OUer For StaUisky's Widow
Prison Now She Hopes For Job To Support Her Children
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoe

PARIS, June Prison bars
are the unhappy inheritance of the
beautiful widow of Serge Alex
andre Stavisky, whose swindling
career is French national scan
dial.
Madame Arlette Simon Sta
visky, once a mannequin in a
world famous dressmaker's salon,
later the toast of brilliant parties
in the most fashionable resorts of
France. now occupies dingy cell
in the Petite Roquette, women's
prison of Paris.
She is charged with completely
in fraud and receiving and con-
cealing stolen property. But that
worries her less than the welfare
of her two children, Micheline, six
years old. and Claude, four, wait
ing with their governess in fur
nished flat for mother to come
home. They think their father il
merely ION a journey
Hopes To Find job
Gone are the happy days when
she and her little son and daugh-
ter sat in bower of flowers and
watched gay festivals at Cannes.
Put away are the skiing costumes
the family donned for slides down
fashionable Alpine slopes. and the
beach garb worn at Deauville and
other smart shore resorts.
Whenever she is released from
prison. Madame Stavisky intends
to find a job to support herself
and the children, for the man who
was accused of nearly 100000
900 in frauds left nothing, she
says, when a pistol bullet ended
his life in mountain hideawav
near Chamonix.
One Look'-And Love
Tall, slender, with large dark
eyes, Arlette Simon first attracted
Handsome Alex" Stavisky in il
Paris night club nine years ago. It
was ''love at first sight" she said.
Arlettes who was to know all the
Injuries that money could buy,
had humble start in life. Her
father. a provincial Frenchman of
modest means, was killed in the
Argonne.
Her mother. after the war. mar
ried again and Arlette came to
Paris and got a mannequin's job.
One evening she was in a night
club.
"Serge came in and stopped be-
fore our table," she said. "My
friend introduced me to him. Serge
and took one look at each other
and fell in love-"
81 wanted Serge to lead quiet
life" Madame Stavisky once said.
"But he always was interested in
floating large companies. He new
err talked business to me. When
he came home, he forgot with US
