BOGUS PRINCE

Mike Romanoff, the. counterfeit

Court today as Galahad IN TIN
foil armor, who sacrificed his
pride and reputation rather than
testify against the lady OF his
heart.
The touching portrait OF a

haunts, yet still stoutly defending
the honor of his lady fair, was
painted by Leon Prince, attorney
for the defense in the suit ot
Mrs. Wilma Gould, the ex'Seam.

duped her to supply grounds tor

Yorce action.
Explaining why Prince Mike was
not called to the witness stand TO
deny Mrs. Gould's charges, by
which she hopes to win $25O,OOO
from her in-laws, the attorney
said:
"RomanOff fell for the girl.
And he was not the only one
who fell for the charms and
wiles of the plaintiff. So you
can see now, gentlemen of the
jury, why l did not call Roma
nOff to the stand. He had a pri-
vate love affair with Mrs.
Gould"
So the bedroom scene which
Mrs. Gould charges was a base
frameup was more genuine than
the Princes title, the lawyer ar
Rued. The heart of Mike was torn
by love and loyalty, he said, and
though he was branded as a stool
pigeon and a stooge, he could not
bring himself to testify against
the lady of his one-time dreams.

WINTER SPORTS

"Robert! You can't do that. You're supposed to be drowning!" Glaire's voice sounded indignant as I opened the sitting room door at the Johnson home last Saturday afternoon. Young Claire was stretched full length on the floor, poking with one of her fathers golf clubs at Robert, who was crawling about on all fours. "I don't want to drown. I want to be a bear," announced Robert fllmly. Claire was on the point of a quarrel, but she looked up and saw me in the doorway. "Well, then, the Doctor will. Won't you, Doctor?" she suggested, getting to her feet. Wont what?" 1 asked "Pretend to have fallen through the ice, and I'll rescue you. We learned how to do it at the park the other day, only nobody ever falls in when I'm around"
 She sounded so dejected that I couldn't help laughing. But before I could think of tactful way to decline the role of victim, Mary came bounding down the stairs, skates in hand. "Are you two ready?" she called, "We'll be late for practice" Claire and Robert were out of the room in a flash, and while they were struggling into their coats Mary explained to me that they were all three going over to the park to practice for the winter carnival.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris, (UP)--We know how it feels to hear people talking about ermine coats and sable wraps when your own five-year old rabbits and moth-eaten monkey stole threaten to drop off you with old age and indignation if you wear them out again. But we have to tell you, we can't help it.
 Almost all the ermine and sables in our part of the world here attended the Big Wedding at Westminster Abbey on the 29th of November, and many of them stayed over for Christmas. Every member of the royal fam fly had sable coat, full-length, with big stand-up collars and full sleeves. Marina's was the softest of all, though, for 1t was made of hundreds of baby sables. She had a mink coat too, and Q gorgeous ermine cape affair which she wore to and from the church.
 Now let's get down to earth. Breitschwantz, caracul, lamb and pony all make charming coats that the rest of us can sometime or other afford. Even if we start with a little jacket, it's smart and if the cut is right We can look as chic as any petite Parisienne. If the purse is fatter, there are any number of clever three-quarter lengths to choose from: sporty lines with loose backs and deep side pockets; scarf necklines with ends that loop over; or real dressy ones, suitable for evening when the gown 1t is worn over Is of some plain fabric. Full lengths are good too. but the jackets and three-quarters are none the less smart for their brevity.
