follows
I'm October of 1889, he (Mr Paterno) left
the house one day. on the excuse of attending
to business. At about three o'clock in the
morning l was awakened by the telephone
bell My mother-in-law was on the wire. She
informed me that the defendant not knowing
that she was coming home, had attempted to
his mothers apartment for an affair with
a strange, woman. l was told that the de-
PENDANT was apprehended by my mother-in-
law with this strange woman, in my mother
in-law's apartment. She also told me that she
had thrown them both out and that I ought
to know this to take such action as l thought
best"
Evidently the elder Mrs. Palermo doesn't
fit-well into the irresponsible pattern of cafe
society. This is not surprising 1t has been
said tnar. as with certain extra pungent
cheeses. one must acquire the night life habit
early. Old-fashioned people cannot get over
their distate at such scenes as one recently
reported at a Hollywood night club. There
was a fetching little number in which the
chorus girls, wearing corsets permitted the

This particular evening. John Barrymore
was in the house and call went up for him
to take part in the sport. He came forward
finally, raised one finger as though about to
declaim Hamlet soliloquy and said:
"All right, you brought this on yourselves.
Barrymore doesn't lace corsets-he unlaces
them"
The police of New York City have raised
the night club business to the official status
of a racket by forcing the entertainers to be
fingerprinted even if they are not known to
be crooks Yet many Of these places are ex-
elusive, according to their peculiar half-world
standards

Mrs. Palermo Sr. might easily be declared I'M
fair to "gangsters'' and "tramps in fur coats"
for calling night clubs "abodes of boredom"
They may be to her but to the steady GUS

twist of mind, they wonderful otherwise

others that his wife was divorcing him. She
says she hadn't been conscious of any such
thought at the time.
In her affidavit, Beverly thus describes her
husbands fateful meeting with the Swedish
miss:

They were intimate friends of the defendants

hotel; he was intoxicated his shirt and his
face were full of lipstick marks He told me,
when l ehided him because of his conduct,
that he would do he damned pleased"
Mr.. Palermo contented himself with a gen.
eral denial of extra marital girls, beatings and
other criticisms but issued a special and Wig
orous denial of the accusation that-he- in
herited S3.000.000 That was before the in
heritance tax boys went to work on the estate.
He swears that all he got was S749 600 and
that the income is not $4,000 year. as Bev-
erly charges, but a mere $780,
In Marcn, 1886, Joseph was home on Vaca-
ton from studying law at the University of
Virginia when he met Beverly at New York
City night club. At three A. M in the night
club, it seemed like good idea for the young
couple, Joseph 10. and Beverly IT, to run up
to Armonk, one of New York States Gretna
Greens, and be married They prevaricated on
their ages, which was easy because the dig
nitary, pulled out of bed to solemnize the cere-
niony, was not too suspicious, took his fee and
tumbled back to bed again.
Back came the young couple to the night
club for wedding breakfast and they broke
the glad news" to the four parents. Beverly
is the daughter of Albert Parker, well-known
Hollywood director and of Margaret Green
Parker. former dramatic actress.
Mrs. Parkers reaction was to drag the
bride home from the club. The Paternos did
the same for the bridegroom but the milk
was split and after crying "a hours. both pairs
of parents put on brave smiles and hoped for
the best.
The marriage lasted the best part, or at
least the worst part. of five years, which is
not bad at all for "sun-dodgers"

In Beverys 32-page complaint Lenore
makes her debut in the following quoted news

club the other night He dashed out mad and
she had no money with her. So she hung
around for two hours trying to get a hitch
to her home in the 70's P.S. She got the lift"
Cafe society is supposed by some to have
lost the power to blush but Beverly credits
Lenore with causing young Mr.. Palermo to
appear with red face. This is how the
phenomenon is alleged to have happened:
ON Saturday, July q, 1910 we were
guests at the home of the defendants mother
E. Shortly thereafter, the defendant came
back His face was red. He was in an angered
mood He shouted to my great humiliation
and shame that he had been apprehendedl

that his mother had given Miss Lennon

Why club with such clean name

mother-in-law and took away from her

One good thing said about night life
ndiscretions is that they never last long.
Therefore a jealous husband or wife need
only be patient a few weeks or months
at most and the great affair will be cold

good because a new flame promptly takes

Mrs. Palermo also charges the conven-

Technically speaking. she was not quite

complaint which Lenore denies near enough
not to bubble about. Night life darlings may
pluck their own hairs and when aroused pull
them out of another lady by the handful but
they don't split them.
