are hoping for a son and heir to
their title and wealth (much of
the latter being tied up in Liver
pool real estate), the only heir
at present being Lord Sefton's
elderly bachelor uncle.
1t was early last December
tAatLera- Seton conferred a
wedding band. and his title, on
titian-haired Foxy Gwynne, ex-
wife of Erskine Gwynne. now in
poor health and living here in
New York.
The wedding came as a bit OF
a surprise. For Seton, for
years the is 44) had been ro-
mancing in another direction
and Foxy's friends believed she
aspired to become the Countess
of Dudley.
What a long road Foxy has
travelled since she left New
York for Paris almost 20 years
ago TO serve as a model for the
late Jean Patou! Her marriage
in June, 1926. to Ersk ne
Gwynne, known as the Amer
lean playboy of Paris, was the
first step on the road that led
her to nobility. even royalty.
Once Foxy, in indignation at
my not being impressed with
her u. S. A. family tree, had
sent to me a most amazing list
of progenitors-her forbears.
AS remember the list, the only
colonial notables Foxy isn't de-
scended from were George and
Martha Washington - reasons
being OBVIOUS.
Just why Foxy. at this time
in her life and career should
give even a thought to ancestry
is something l prefer not to
waste time worrying over.
Isn't she a success, hasn't
she one of the richest men in
England for a husband, and,
isn't she a peeress?
What m tiers she once
worked as a Jean Patou man.

What a pity the senior Or
lando Webers ever permitted
the Junior Orlando Webers to
carry their marital differences
into the divorce courts!
What a pity the senior Mr..
and Mrs. Weber permitted the
junior Mr.. Weber to marry, in
the first place.
1 don't know, of course, in
the last 10 or Is years, who has
struggled more valiantly TO
make the social grade here in
New York than Mrs. Orlando
Weber Sr.
Her efforts in a polite direc-
ton brought dividends in such
things as a listing in the social
register, membership in the d.
A. r. and Colony Club. etc. But
those honors promise to become
bit furnished when the junior
Webers start publicly launder-
ing their ,soiled domestic linen
ir courtroom.
How could the Webers have
been so ill-advised as TO let the
differences of the junior Webers
ever get beyond locked doors?
Now the whole thing promises
a field-day for society gossips.
And everything Mrs. Weber Sr.
has struggled to attain will
crash, ingloriously, in the dust
of scandal.
Already the chit-chat one
hears regarding the case is. to
put it mildly, sensational and
odoriferous. And it does seem
such a public sacrifice of repu-
tations is just a bit unnecessary.
For both Orlando Jr. and the
former Irene de Bohus are
young-with their lives before
them.

times when il is foolhardy-not
courageous-to walk boldly into
a courtroom and stir up a hor-
