When George died he left little more than

children appeared in court and their mother
had to tell everything.
On December II. 1924 their guardian filed
birth certificates Of the three children. George
Guinevere and Jane Sinclair, stating that they
were issue of the late George Jay Gould and
entitled to share in the distribution of their
fathers estate.
But the trustees Of the estate strenuously

But il made no difference TO the court

His sympathy was aroused and he finally
suggested to his son that he adopt Guinevere's
children and give them his family name of
Brodrick This was done and Guinevere
heaved a sigh of relief Her offspring were
still young and under the name of Brodrick
could forget the persistent curse of the Gould
name.
BY this time the children knew what the
name could do to those who bore it.
Their first cousin, the youthful Prince de
Sagan, son of Anna Gould. Duchess de Tally
rand committed suicide when he fell madly
in love with young woman, in the tempera-
mental fashion Of the Goulds. But in France,
where he lived. he was too young to marry
without his parents consent When they re-
fused he shot himself within hearing distance
of his mother.
The Princes mother, Georges sister Anna,
had added to the family curse when she mar
ried the spendthrift Count Boni de Castellane.

the courtesy of remaining faithful.
Georges brother Howard made an equally
disastrous marriage with the actress Kath-
crime Clemmons, who had tremendous en-
thusiasm for spending money One of her
neatest efforts was to build reproduction on
Long Island of Kilkenny Castle, one of the
greatest castles in Ireland.
Georges youngest brother Frank, married
a young society woman, Helen Kelly, who in
formed him shortly after their marriage that
she didn't like him and promptly got divorce.
Frank few months later, decided to have
another go at the Kellys and married one
Edith Kelly, an English vaudeville actress.
But Frank couldn't spend money fast enough
to suit her and she left him. Frank then tried

and marriage was at last kind to him.
Strange to say George never lost his

such unfortunate romances himself.
His seven children by his first wife also
suffered from the family curse. Kingdom

the marriage came up to the family standard

George Gould, a younger son. married

mer she went away to small resort town
on the Coast and met Viscount Dunsford.
The name meant little TO her; she wasn't
interested in people. But Dunsford was in
terested in her.
He had been married for eight years and
his passion had cooled His wife had given
him no heir an almost fatal mistake in any
marriage in the peerage.
So he and Guinevere formed an attachment
TO each other mutually sympathetic because
they were both the victims Of establishment
Viscountess Dunsford obtained divorce
and the Viscount and Guinevere were married
in 1925.
The new Viscountess Dunsford was not re
ceived at all at first.
Her father-in-law was the Earl of Mde-
ton who had been a Member of Parliament
for years and Secretary of State for War and
for India But even this seemed to make
difference So Guinevere devoted herself 10
charities and TO the supervision of the 5000
choice acres Of her husbands estates.
Then her naughty father-in-law discovered
that she was the granddaughter Of hts old
friend, the president OF Trinity College, Dub
lin. who had honored him with an honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws

skeleton squeezed out into the open until it
finally danced across the front page of the

What few knew or even guessed at was
that Mrs Sinclair had three children tucked

Then the little man returned to
his own seat. The two women,
their faces very red, sat in 81
lence. At the next corner, the
motorman stopped. "This is your
stop, ladies'" he said. 1t wasn't,
but they took the hint-and got
off.
Pretty good little yarn, isn't it?
The complacent profiteer and the
heartbroken father. That's real
drama. What makes it even bet
ter is that it happened right in
Kansas City. You can find any
number of people who know
somebody else who has a friend
who was on that street car. What
makes it not so good is that it
apparently happened at the same
time all over the country.
The Associated Press reported
it from San Diego after it al
ready had been frayed from re-
petition here. 1t is reasonable to
assume that many citizens Of
Dubuque and Portland, Maine,
are sure it happened in their own
towns.
The story is typical of the
tales you are likely to pick up
these days. It has been pointed
out that many of these rumurs
and stories would seem to be def
initely helpful to the enemy in
the creation of dissension within
America and in the destruction
of civilian morale. The propa-
ganda content of most of them
is slight, however, although here
is one with an obvious Axis an

plants, in general, are good breed
ing places for inside" stories.
Perhaps you prefer prisoner
stories. They are a popular line
and sure to grow as the war
goes on. Try this one on your
gullibility:
The woman who lives next
door to the cousin of man who
works in the same place as a
friend of your brothers has a
son who was captured at Wake
Island. She got letter from
Tokyo the other day. Dear Moth
er: I am being treated we'll by
the japanese. The food is excel
lent and l have nothing to com
plain about. Please save the
stamp off this letter as it is a
very rare one and I want it for
my collection. Lovingly, Your
Son." So the mother steamed off
the stamp and discovered writ
ten underneath it, "They have
cut out my tongue"
It's a pitiful story but there's
no mail getting through from
Tokyo these days. The same kind
of story made the rounds in the
first World War. You heard it a
dozen times in the early months
Of this war, concerning residents
of the occupied ountries-Bel-
GUM, Norway and the rest-Who
wrote that food was plentiful
and under the stamp crowded
the words: eve are starving.'
No story of this particular
stripe was ever so popular as
the one about "Hitler's eyes"
Waitress to customer, patient
to physician and bridge partr.er
to partner it covered the county
But no amount Of sleuthing was
able to uncover any person VINO
had it at less than third hand
You remember it. A woman of
German nationality wrote to Ter
son in the old country, making
some cracks about Hitler and say
ing to send her one of the Fuer-
rer's eyes. Several weeks later
she got box containing two eye
balls with a note saying, 'These
are your sons eyes," There were
number of variations, of cou1se
but the general trend was about
the same in every case.
AS the war goes on, the stor-
les will multiply and continue to
bounce from lip to lip, with an
occasional detour to the printed
page. About the only way not to
be taken in by them is to ask
for names and addresses of the
people involved.

Problem Of War Adjustment
Subject of Isle Of Escape

Isle OF Escape" by that grand
novelist, reporter and all-around
woman, Ishbel Ross lHarper &
Bros. publishers).
Long ago Ishbel Ross came
TO know immigrants as only a
New York newspaper woman
can know them. But they
were different immigrants then.
They came with hope In their
hearts and a definite aim. But
today they come without hope
or program, as bankrupt In
spirit as they are In funds. and
the deadly virus Of their malad-
justment seeps slowly but surely
into our own national life.
Therein lies the greatness OF
the book and OF Ishbel Ross
superb and subtle handling. For
we are all evacuees from q
world we loved but which we
never will see again. Most Of
us don't' realize II yet.
We think our main problem
Is to win the war; we do not
see that the great task is to
adjust ourselves TO an already
vastly altered life and TO the
chaos which will come with
peace.
Not one OF us can escape that
adjustment. Many of us will
be unable to cope with il. We
will fight against change or
slough away in futile grief and
reminiscing.
Sums N Up
There's only one way for any
of us-European refugee or
native American--to face what
lies ahead and Ishbel Ross has
summed IL UP tn one inspired
paragraph:
mot in England, not at any
time until she saw Bill disap-
pear toward his train, did Mary
understand to the full what
was demanded of her. She must
hold on tight TO her will-not
sink into lethargy and let the
days slip by in vacancy She
must live with insight and
strength. She must try to
meet things with integrity Of
spirit. Life was rarely what
one desired. Adjustment and
compromise went on for as long
as one lived, and yesterdays
hopes seemed unreasonable in
the light of today"
