@ALLA came to the White House about
two years ago. and sat right down by

ginning.
When he started travelling with the
President by train. a porter had to drag
him to the baggage room. He cried, and
tears ran down his little black face. One
night F. D. r. said, well, would you like

TO stay here?" Falla almost wagged off his
tail. Take his leash off," said the Presi-
dent. Falla dashed back to him, snuggled
up close. and pretended to 60 sound asleep.
Since then. on the train he has always slept
in the Presidents car. and goes nearly
everywhere with him by auto and ship.
He's Presidential adviser, too. Wags
his tail at some visitors, ignores Others.

she lit into her husband and finally, after
having got nothing from either but scorn and
ridiculo took the drastic step she had SHE'D
away from ten years earlier.
With her children in tow. she sailed for
America and settled down in Connecticut to
establish residence for di' 1rce
Her case came up in 1928 and wlle re-
sultng successfully for her. put the Yankee
Judge and jury through some pretty battling
moments The Dukes defense was conducted
along two lines:
First that as an Italian citizen which
she had become by marriage Elsie had no
right 70 sue for divorce in the United States.
And second tthis was the real puzzer)
that under Italian law an act of infidelity on
the part of the husband otfense 10 the
wife so long as it was handled with "decoUm.'
Brought up in the tradition that anything
"furrin' was automatically suspect, anyhow
the staid New Englandcrs on the jury jumped
at these words as though they had been stung
But before they could get their aroused
moral sensibilites fully organized for action
some words OF the wife set them back on their
heels again.
Describing that last bitter scene with her
husband, she told how he had risen up in
wrath and crowned her with a Renaissance
chair, then added pcnsively:
The ten happiest years II my life were
scent as the wife o. the nuke.
What was one e. make OF such seemingly
lrreconciabe statements Apparently, the
Jurors decided that a wife houEh she might
bc clutton for punishment, was still a wife
in the good old New England scnse As such
she was entitled To the kind of behavior New
England women expect Of their husbands.
So they gave Elsie the divorce they weren't
any too sure she really wanted together with
the custody of her two daughters, Donna
Christiana and Donna Marina, Young Ales-
sandro. the heir TO the revived Torlonia
fortunes went home TO papa.
Meanwhile. a rather curious episode had
occurred in Rome. AS IT happened the family
bust-up had conceded inopportunely with eX

in marble, the work Of the distinguished
Italian sculptor, Count Fcippo Lovatelli

her by mail, enclosing stiff bill She. for
her part in her distraught condition, seems
