Prince Alexis Mdivani, husband of
Barbara Hutton, WoQIworth heir
less, were marred today when he
suffered a broken nose during a
polo match.
The young Prince was hit in the
face during the polo game at this
fashionable French resort, and
sent tumbling from his mount to
the ground.
Women rushed screaming from
the sidelines, surrounding him and
offering him handkerchiefs to stop
the flow of blood. He was helped
off the field.
Meanwhile, his pretty and rich
young wife, Barbara, on the Rivi-
era, was reported refusing to ac-
company the Prince to India this
fall, where he plans to go for a
series of polo games. The rumors
were that she objects to polo,
which some said takes up more
of Alexis's time than his duties as
husband, causing renewed init
nations that all is not well in their
romance.
