HOLLYWOOD, The story
sends shivers UP and down my spine.
This week a certain Hollywood cou-
pie who have been maSried many
years lowered on the brink of the
divorce court. The husband. an actor,
nearly so. had become infatuated
with a pretty young thing in her
early twenties. The triangle had
reached the stage of n showdown.
The actors wife consulted an attor-
nsy. 1t even became necessary to
tell the couples young daughter.
And what did the sweet kid do?
Bravely suppressing. her tears, she
came up to her father and said:
1T can understand someone falling
in love with you, daddy, but l can't
understand YOU falling in love with
them."

the lovely alliance of velvet with lace
or fine fur goes on forever. If you
are undecided about your new after
noon frock, consider the claims Of a
frock on the order of that shown in
the sketch. 1t is in fine black velvet
with snowy ermine for striking con-
trast. The fur is arranged around
the neck and jabot and falls very
gracefully. The dress is otherwise
quite simple with sleeves full at the
under-arm. There is gored inset
all the way down the center front
of the frock.
