QUIET LIFE AIM.
OF GIRL SEEKING.
BROWNING CASH.
Result of Suit to Make
No Difference
By DOROTHY KILGALLEN

NEW YORK. Aug. Is d.N.So.
Poor little rich girl - or plain
school marin?
Marjorie Herbst Browning, %,
will set her feet upon the road to
riches or obscurity today, depend
ing on the decision of Surrogate
Delehanty in Marjorie's suit for
approximately S1,00O,000 of Ed
ward Daddy" Browning's estate.
Whichever way the battle goes,
the slim girl who was given away
by her real parents l8 years ago,
will return to "a quiet life" with
her foster-mother, Mrs. Nellie
Adele Browning.
SHOCKED BY NEWS
"She is still mother to me
she couldn't be anything else"
said Marjorie. ITS impossible
for me to think of her as any
thing but my real mother
1t was only a year ago, when
she was up at Smith College, that
Marjorie learned Mrs. Browning
was her foSter-mother. That was
when newspaper accounts OF
Browning's will referred to her as
his wife's adopted daughter"
Il was shocked" Marjorie ad-
mitted. Il couldn't believe it
was true. When l went home
for vacation 1 asked mother
about it, and at first she said it
was just newspaper talk. Then
she admitted it, later-but, the
girl added, loyalty, 1T didn't
make a bit of difference"
UP TO SURROGATE
In surrogate's court she sits be-
tween Mrs. Browning and her real
mother, Mrs. Minnie Herbst-a
bright, slender figure in turquoise
blue, serious of face and manner.
When she turns to Mrs. HerbSt,
whom she resembles greatly, there
is kindness and Difference in her
smile. When she looks at Mrs.
Browning, her glance is full of
mother-anddaughter intimacy.
Marjorie'S side has rested in the
lawsuit; it remains only for the
respondents, the estate and Dor
othy Sunshine" Browning Hood
to enter defenses against her
claim. Then the surrogate will
decide.
Win or lose. Marjorie will go
home to quiet life.
with whom? Why, mother,
Of course"
And by mother she means Mrs.
Browning.
