courts to attest TO Barbara's mental compe-
tence and knocked Mr. Nichols for row of
Chinese 'pagodas.
The last move was perhaps not so wise. In
retaliation Mr. Nichols asked New York
court for an annulment the ground that
his wife had been lunatic when he married
her and still was. This suit was later dropped
and Barbara was reported at deaths door,
in a French nursing home, suffering from a
nervous breakdown.
Nichols got the divorce later on at Reno
with sealed papers His wife received Gus
tody of the twins neither seemed to want.
Also, IL was reported and not denied, that her
husband received the custody of 100000 of
Vanderbilt money.
For nine years following the divorce,

riage Barbara entered a New York City
hospital and gave birth to twins, boy and
girl. 1t was an aggravating detour on her
rocky road TO love.
No one was surprised when, soon after this
blessed event, she was reported as having
fled, under sensational circumstances" from
her husband.
Mystery as deep as Oom's voice settled
down over the cult. Later on that year Bar
bara was located in France, silent and in
scrutable as the Sphinx itself.
Rusty was too young to know what was
happening to his mother. But the long sepa-
ration from her left its mark on the boy.
His new stepfather, also silent and in
scrutable, was found in a New York apart
ment, apparently no longer Tantrik.
But where were the twins?
year after their birth Rusty's half
brother and sister were living in seclusion
in a house at Scarsdale. New York.
The twins had not been named. So far as
could be learned neither parent had visited
them and this strange situation is supposed
to have lasted for three years.
The Tantriks had a word for it, however.
They explained that the arrival of boy-and-
girl twins, far from being a blessed event
amongst Hindus indicated extreme displeasure
of the gods, at one or both parents.
Society shifted. This going a little
too far, since neither Barbara her husband
nor the babies were Hindus
Two years later, Barbara was reported in
a French nursing home at her husbands re-
quest.
Suspecting that there might be something
fishy in this Mrs. Vanderbilt packed her
tiaras and hurried across the ocean. Her
worst fears were realized Not only was Bar

do.
It was a social crisis of the first water to
have two Vanderbilt heiresses divorced and IN
the market for new husbands.
In the old days such social crisis would
call for a long sea voyage. But with all the
seven seas and caravan of Vanderbilt yachts
to choose from, Mrs Vanderbilt made an ex-
traordinary decision.
She sent both daughters on a voyage, but
it was up the Hudson River on the Day Line.
She had in mind Yoga cult which had re-
Gently blossomed at Nyack, New York.
This was Rusty's second tough break. Still
barely out of swaddling clothes, he had to
yield the affection of his mother while she
went away to recuperate
At his early age, Rusty was perhaps even
better equipped for the life Of a Yogi than
his mother. Infants of that age like to play
with their toes make funny noises and regard
their navels with some fascination.
Yogi consists of more than that Oh
quite lot more!
The leader of the cult a remarkable
man who called himself the Omnipotent Dom.
Don't ask us to explain that. He probably
doesn't know what il means himself
Strange as it may seem. Margaret not only
recuperated from her rocky road Of love
rapidly but made passably satisfactory mar
rage to Sir Paul Dukes, also a member of
the cult.
What was good medicine for one daughter
ought to be the right one for the other suf-
fering from the same ailment, reasoned Mama
Vanderbilt.
But with Barbara, the results were sadly
different.
The obvious, predctable heiress found her
self in the midst of strange new world.
Everything, including the digestion of break
fast seemed clouded by a mist of occultsm.
The High Priest Dom for short. was con-

his words were so profound that few knew

When the freshly divorced Barbara started

climb would be uphill But, at Nyack, she

Elebash. it IS said advised the divorce and
probably won't let Shirley reconsider.
It will be a tough break for Rusty, since
he seems TO love the girl, but then his life
has been one tough break after another
When his mother died three years ago it
closed a strange chapter in Rustys youth. IL
would be tough for any kid to have his mother
exchange personalities with man known as
Dom the Omnpotent, alias the Loving Guru
1t was unusually tough on Rusty
Until Barbara Rutherford met the Omni-
potent Dom her life had been obvious and
predictable as the phases of the moon She
and her older sister Margaret were the daugh-
ters of Lewis Morris Rutherford. but far more
important, their mother was Mrs. William Is.
Vanderbilt, acknowledged leader of New York
society.
With this imposing background, Barbara
did exactly what expected of her. She
was seen in the right places, too.
In due course, the golden girl (she expected
TO inherit about $1O,0OO,O 600 from her mother)
married the good-looking and eligible New
port society man, Cyril Hatch. That was in
1916. They had son, Rutherford, and then
they were divorced five years later.
That was Rusty's first tough break His
young life was spent shutting back and forth
between the two people he loved most. He
just couldn't understand how they could love
him so much, and not love each other.
