many people thought. Not even as
q follow.up of some Irritation in
Florida, as was often said. But a
girl, heart-broken because the boy
she loved wouldn't marry her, a
girl very lonesome and diSillu-
stoned, and the wise, careful, faS-
cinating young foreigner.
To him, Barbara told all her
troubles, as she had done for
years. To him she conf1ded her
woes. What was she going to do?
She wanted to marry. Her idea
had been to marry an American.
But could she? Would any honest
young American marry her and
become Barbara Hutton's hus-
band? She had come to believe
that it wasn't possible.
And above all things she would
not marry the type Of American
man who would marry her only
for her money. That, to her, was
the very last thing she could pos
Sibly do.
Fair game. The honey.pot. The
heiress to millions. That was
what she was then. And she had
been made to believe by this boy
she loved that no decent American
young man would ever marry her.
Only a fortune hunter, only the
type that wanted nothing but
money-perhaps he was a little
narrow, a little conservative, but
that was the way he felt and that
was the idea he sold Barbara
Hutton.

Babs Always Lonesome
after a while" Barbara Hutton
Haugwitz-Reventlow told me in
London, Il got the idea that ]
wanted to get married. I was al,
ways so lonesome. I wanted a com

Why did she choose to marry
Alexis Mdivani.
Looking very white and grave
she said. Il didn't realize that the
worst thing could possibly do was
to marry titled foreigner"

she said: Il didn't know tina,

Betrayed by "Friend"
AS she said that, sitting there
SO still, so motionless, holding hel
happiness in her hands, I knew
that she had been betrayed by hel
"only friend" And slowly and care
fully, she explained to me why she
had married a foreigner with &
title, and defended her Seconc
marriage to another titlec
foreigner.
Two men. so little thought of il
the life story of Barbara Hutton
were responsible for that.
Or perhaps three. For it was he
father, Franklyn Hutton. who pre-
vented her marriage to Phil Plant
as she told me.
Feared Money Marriage
Two Americans came into tn:
young life of the American dollal
princess with her vast wealth
Always, insid> herself, had beer
that constant fear that someone
would marry her for her money
While she romped and played anC
was talked about with this youn:
man and that, it was always il
the back of her mind.
But Phil Plant was her equal,
an American. a millionaire. Tha
would do away with all thos
fears, those ugly thoughts. H
wanted to marry her, and for tn
first time her feminine vanity wa
pleased. He didn't want he
money. He must love her TO
herself.
Looking back it is easy to under
stand why Franklyn Huttol
didn't want his daughter to MARI,
Phil Plant. I don't suppose an,
American father under norma
conditions would have chosen tn
much headlineI young millionair
for his daughters husband. An
Franklyn Hutton, SO popular, S
handsome, so Soughtafter, didn'
know of that secret fear in hi
little daughters heart.
All he saw was that Barbar
was proposing to marry a youn
man, already married and d
vorced, who was notorious in heac
lines for his devotion to win
women and song.
All, he wanted something bette
than that for his little Barbara.
There has never been any que

devotion to her father. Toda,

grateful for his brilliant handling
of her money, which shot from
$20.OOO,000 to the $47,000,000
which was turned over to her
when she was 81. More than
that. she has always kept the
idolatry of the fat. ordinary little
girl who looked forward to her
brilliant fathers visits, when she
was so terribly alone.
Becomes Glamour Girl
BY this time, she wasn't fat and
ordinary any more. Plump, yes.
But millions had done their subtle
work. The best dresSmakerS, the
finest beauty specialists, the
cleverest experts, had made her
glamourous and vivid. Her clothes
we're the last word. Her jewels
were flashing. Her personality had
been developed.
So, she went into the battle to
reform Phil Plant. If he would

him. Not otherwise.
There was in her then and still
is a strong Puritan strain. She
does not drink herself. Smokes

If Phil Plant would conform to
her standards she could marry
him-and be happy.
One Great Chance
1t was her one great chance.
The one man who didn't care
about her money.
But somehow, Phil Plant didn' t
succeed. And the whole affair,
under the cold opposition of her
father, blew up.
That was one American.
And Barbara had been hurt in
that. She had honestly and with
real sincerity hoped to make a
