UnpredictabIe Mrs. Spraeue
Adds New Chapter to Saga
BY MAURY PAUL

And when they displayed
their scorn for Fifth avenue, by
setting up their household on
iverside drive, Margaret'S
social friends insisted she was
carrying her 'individualism" a
bit too far.
II was while married 10 Dukes
that the woman who inherited
much of her mothers wealth,
began toying with her appear
ance. Since then her tresses
have been all colors of the
rainbow.
When Marearet'S tempestu-
Gus alliance with Sir Paul Dukes
came 10 an end she decided it
was really a great love that
drew her 10 Prince Charles
Murat, scion of one Of Frances
best known clans.
The MuratS, being devout
members of the Church of
Rome, declined 10 look with
favor on Margaret, because of
her two divorces. her earlier
association with the Yogi Cult
of Doctor Bernard, then known
as "Oom the Omnipotent," etc.
But Margaret, who is blessed
with determination in addition
to money and an almost unbe-
lievable disregard for what the
public might say--or think
went ahead and became the
Princess Murat.
Some insist Charles was the
only one of her husbands she
really loved.
Life as the Princess Murat
was even more fantastic than II
had been as Lady Dukes, and
included ranching in Africa-the
last place one would expect 10
find the Vanderbilt heiress.
When, eventually, she divorced
Charles Murat his relatives
scoffed. How could she divorce
any one she never was married
to?-they argued. For in their
eyes. and according 10 the
standards OF the Murats' religion,
Margaret and Charles never had
been man and wife"
After the divorce Margaret

NEW YORK. oct. 1.-THE

Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt Sro
repeated her marriage vows for
the fifth time remains a secret.
But her pals insist she and her
artistic eX-hubhy have resumed
life in double harness as Mr..
and Mrs
All of which adds another
chapter 10 the never-dull saga
of the woman who was chris
tened Margaret Rutherfurd' y
and who once enjoyed a pre-
ocminent place in Now York
Newport society as Mrs. Ogden
Livingston Mills.
The smart set long has spec
ulated on the why's and where
fores of the dignified late Mrs
Vanderbilt having had two such
weird daughters as Mrs. Sprague,
and Barbara Rutherford Hatch
Nichols now dead after short,
but definitely hysterical life.
At the time OF her divorce
from Mills, Margaret loathed
the man who later was to marry
Dorothy Randolph Fell.
II seemed her loathing also
spread to society. She became
a semi-hermit, replaced dinners
and Mayfair functions with lit
erary pursuits and surprised
every one by marrying England
Sir Paul Dukes, an erudite
knight who had a fine record for
secret service work in Russia
during the first World War.
No two people could possibly
have been more gloriouSly mis-
mated than Margaret and Paul
