AS the guests gathered around the table
Bartram found himself in the seat of honor

IF sitting by me is punishment, I'll change
your seat"
Instead of being crushed the gentleman
just went on sitting there, and after dinner,
his wife charged, had enough spirit left to
make couple of more assaults on the citadel
of Emily Post.
Picking out a likely group composed of
Miss Chatterton-who was wearing diamond
neckace-Charles Boyer and his wife, the
irrepressible Mr. Bartram joined it, and a
moment later with his eye on that stunning
necklace, said
Must you wear the entire crystal chande-
lier around your neck?"
History does not record the effect of this
second volley on Miss Chatterton. If she was
able to produce another smile she would seem
to be entitled to a shrine in the cathedral of
etiquette.
AS for Mr.. Bartram, Juette says that he
just moved nonchalantly on to other pas
lures, in the person of Miss Virginia Ham
mond a socate who was wearing low-cut
evening dress. To her he is alleged to have
said:

in came James with just such person,
who might have had possibilities as a buffoon
in burlesque show but not as a dinner guest.
He (the stranger) was wearing a frayed
derby hat, threadbare clothes and a very
wooZy expression
The mere fact that he was excessively
polite did not make him go down any better
with Juliette for it was the kind of politeness
that was obviously derived more from alcohol
than from upbringing.
But when she protested the intrusion, she
said, her husband merely replied:
What's the matter? You believe in
brotherhood, don't you?"
James denied this incident, saying that the
only unsuitable guest he ever entertained was
burglar, who happened to drop in while he
was playing chess with his sster-in-aw. Ellen

\NEHEN she joined the mystic cult of
~ Theosophy, Juliette Compton, who
w rose from the Follies TO become a
star Of stage and screen, studied and believed
in the brotherhood of man.
Her wealthy British husband James Bar
tram, Oxford graduate, thereupon put her
theories to the acid test. she charged by:
Introducing a charming female secretary,
called child of mystery" into their home;
Extending his hospitality to assorted buns
and a burglar
Playing good Samaritan to movie actress
who had accidentally and literally demon
strated popular phrase by sitting on an ant
hill:
And making appallingly frank remarks at
Hollywood parties, on the ground that among
brothers thoughts should never be hidden

heves in the theory Of reincarnation, accord
ing TO which you are you today and some
body else tomorrow
Too impatient TO wait for his next, possibly
female incarnation to catch up TO him hus-
band James experimental with this theory
his wife asserts, by dressing up in women's
clothes and taking pictures of himself
His wife was rcvoted by these displays
she says, while their childs governess ex-
pressed her feelings by falling down flight
OF stairs and breaking her leg
The latter incident which along with most
Of the others began in Hollywood and ended
little while ago In the divorce court was Just
one OF the minor ClimaXes Of day resembling
an old-fashioned slapstick screen comedy
The whole thing developed out Of a
Charles Aunt plot James later testified

Grated but neither Miss Hammond nor
Juliette was among them. In fact, it was the
cue for the latter TO whisk her husband home
before he had a chance TO test the spirit of
brotherhood in any other members of the
party.
Bartram and Miss Compton were married
in London in 1926 while she was appearing
there in a play with Talulah Bankhead He
besieged her with fan letters and tcn-ccnt-
store presents. Her calous habit Of throwing
these tokens away was, oddly enough, what
finally brought them together
He telephoned her one day and asked how
she liked the diamond he had sent her two
weeks ago.
What diamond" she demanded.
why the one in that Easter bunny. Didn't
you get it?"
Good Heavens" cried Miss Compton. Il
didn't know there was a diamond in it. 1
threw IL down the drain"
Bartram and detachment of plumbers ar
rived on the scene simultaneously. The
plumbers worked unsuccessfully on the
plumbing while Bartram with more success,
worked on Miss Compton He bought her
another diamond and they were wed a few
weeks later.

costume decided to have fun
with the governess by pretending
that he had been hired TO do some
OF her work. The latter, fearing for her job
complained to Mrs. Bartram and, on being
told that her supposed rival was really the
master of the house, fell into a dead faint
as well as down flight of stairs.
At this point, from somewhere or other
a pack of process servers appeared. Bartram
decided that they were after him and hosting
up his skirts lit off across country The
thing turned into a kind of foxhunt except
That IN this case the fox kept urging on his
pursuers with loud cries of "Tally-Ho!"
In the end, the hounds were shaken off,
but the fox's triumph was short-lived for he
tripped and fell into cactus plant.

-Four More Ships
But Missed the Boot"
on Big Convoy Operations
BY the A,sociated Press

Underseas raiders were cred
tied by the Navy yesterday with
having picked off four more
merchantmen in the western At
lantic recently but they also
were pictured as having missed
the boat" during big trans
Atlantic convoy operations last
winter.
After announcing the recent
torpedo sinkings of three Amer
lean cargo vessels and small
Swedish merchantmen, the Navy
disclosed that single task
force had escorted 2,400 mer-
chant craft across the North At
lantic last winter with a loss of
only eight ships.
The disclosure came with an
nouncement of post luminous
award of distinguished service
medal to the late Vice Admiral
Arthur Leroy Bristol, Jr.. SIS, of
Charleston, S. c., who died at
sea of natural causes April 20
after seeing approximately so
conveys across the Atlantic with
a minimum loss.
The four sinkings announced
yesterday, together with a fifth
reported in dispatches from a
Yucatan (Mexico) port, put at
800 the unofficial Associated
Press tabulation of allied and
neutral wartime merchant YES
sci losses in the western At
lantic.
Seventy-seven seamen we're
killed or missing and 1870 res
cued in the newly announced at
tacks.
The three U-boat victims were
a medium sized craft torpedoed
off the northern coast of South
America June 80, small cargo
carrier sunk several hundred
miles off the u. S. east coast on
an unannounced date and anoth-
or small merchantmen sunk $50
miles off the east coast July Is.
The Swedish ship was tor
pedoed 800 miles from the
northern coast of South Amer
lea, while Yucatan rerorted the
loss in the Caribbean July 90 of
the Panamanian freighter Tach-
ira.

Expect Jap
Drive into
Siberia Soon

LONDON, July 81 - (P) -
japanese preparations for an at
tack on Russia's Siberian mar
time province and Vladivostok
are almost complete and If nee
essary the Japanese could press
the button and start to move
into Siberia British source
declared today.
This source, whose identity
was not permitted to be discios-
ed, said the occupation of is
lands at the western tip of the
Aleutians resulted in useful
strategical situation for the Jap
anese since 1t placed them ION
the flank of possible Ameri-
ca, attack on Japan.
While Japan has massed an
Army of about 80 divisions in
Manchukuo, her military activ-
ity in Burma and other areas
necessarily has been limited, 1T
was pointed out.
In Burma and the south Pa
cific, this source said, Japan has
been consolidating her positions.
He added that the only real
japanese activity in those areas
now is in the Solomon Islands
from which the Japanese can
interfere with communications
between the United States and
Australia.
Bad weather, which will con-
tinue until October or Novem-
Der, also has been factor in re-
stricting military operations by
both sides in Burma. There have
been no real signs, meanwhile,
of further Japanese moves to-
ward an invasion of India.
Siberia is the danger point of
the Allied strategical situation
in East Asia, this source said.
THE Japa nese will attack
when it suits them, not the Ger
mans" he added.
He predicted that Japan was
preparing to throw at least half
a million men into such an over
land onslaught against Russia S
Siberian stronghold.
