Regardless Of whether this
rumor is ever confirmed or not,
it is logical to believe that the
Duchess Of Windsor would ike
to spend some time in or near
Warrenton. When she went to
Warrenton, some years ago

cree from Lieutenant Comman,
der Spencer there) to spend
what looked like a very lonely
time, the whole Of Warrenton.

and houses to this attractive
woman.
They liked her-and for no
other reason than her faScinat-
ing self, and when she left the
town and them, it was with sin:
cere regret that they watched
her 60. We have heard that the
memory of the Duchess OF
Windsor is well nigh perfect
about everything. So-it should
be easy to remember Warren
ton and perhaps, wish to go
back just once again.

MRS. WILLIAM BORAH,

very recent new hat, complete
with a tall feather and swag-

ment not only resting on her
head, but is resting heavily on
her mind. All because Mrs.
Borah hasn't yet decided ex-

'it is a cross between an Al

girl he loves, Jim Fisk, picturesque railroad magnate, learns that his business partner and best friend has won her affections in "The Toast of New York;" with Edward Arnold, Cary Grant, Frances Farm CT and Jack Oakie sharing starring honors.
 "The Toast of New York;, which will be the companion feature on Sundays new program, brings to the screen a throbbing panorama of the most colorful period in the financial history of America, and character who contributed moro than his share toward making that period picturesque-Jim Fisk.
 Starting as a peddler, Fisk made a fortune by procuring cotton from the South and transporting 1t to the northern markets during the Civil War, and later became one of the most powerful men on Wall Street. His one weakness was his burning affection for Josie Mansfield, upon whom Fisk spent a fortune to bring her out of obscurity and help her realize an ambition to become a theatrical star. Josie is played by Miss Farmer. Cary Grant is cast as Fisk's handsomer and more suc- cessful rival.
