married. Hence they proceeded 10 the Boca
Ration Club. thirty miles further South on the
Florida Gold Coast than Palm Beach.
At the Boca Ration Club, which was ex-
elusive that low tide had great difficulty in
getting in, Romeo was a sensation. But his
bride was not content 10 let well enough alone.
She wanted her two daughters Mrs John F.
Jordan and Eleanor Alsop jefferson, to love
him for himself alone too.
Well Eleanor was shopping around for
divorce from jefferson, anyway. And where
easier TO get divorce than Florida? There,
by the time one has acquired an expensive
tan the old marriage ties were turned to
legal crisp.
So Eleanor, obeying her mothers sum-
mons went to Florida willing TO combine
business with pleasure. 1t would be pleasure
to get divorce while she attended to the
chore of meeting the second stepfather with
whom her mother had presented her.
But II turned out to be just the other way
around. 1t was a pleasure TO meet Romeo!
Indeed it was frighteningly pleasurable to
meet this god-like young man who was her
stepfather 1t was Frightening because each
instantly fell In love with the other because
each was honorable and each determined not
to do anything to huft the unsuspecting bride.
The conventional girl, dazed by the unsus-
pected emotions consuming her, could only be
sullen in the presence of her mother and her
stepfather. Or else avoid them.
Gasparini, overwhelmed by what was hap
pening to the trio, was brusque to his step
daughter. Mrs. Gasparini despaired that
Eleanor and Romeo were so antagonistic!
Eleanor, Mortified by the situation, decided
there was only one thing to do. She must put
as much distance between herself and Cas-
parin as possible Maybe time and distance
would solve the triangle!
So, to her mothers evaporation and
amazement, Eleanor packed her bags and
headed for Honolulu. She would rather have
a Hawaiian divorce, she explained, than the
genuine Florida article.
In the succeeding days, Romeo faced the
situation as best he could Out Of respect for
Eeanors mother, neither had ever put into
words what each felt for the other. But they

had only TO look at each other. and words
were waste.
Finally. when Romeo could stand the
absence of his Juliet no longer, he went TO his
bride of three months and told her gently and
in anguish that he was hopelessly in love with
her daughter. He assured her that he would
always be grateful to her for rescung him
from Mussolini-land, but that all his love was
for Eleanor. And at last he was free to rush
to Honolulu to join Eleanor
Eventually, Eleanor and her first husband,
the gallant Jefferson. were divorced. But still
Romeo and Juliet could not marry because
so far, Eleanor's mother had made no move TO
divorce her young husband.
Then suddenly the Hawaiian immigration
authorities began to flaws in Romeos
passport. The result might be either deporta-
ton TO Italy or enforced return to the United
States.
So Gasparini and Eleanor moved on, this
time to the more free-and-easy Crown Colony
Of Hongkong. An American dollar would go
a long way in Hongkong. And there were not
too many American dollars, now that Eleanor's
wealthy mother was no longer footing the bills.
True, Eleanor had a So, 900 annual income,
settled on her when her mother divorced her
father, Edward Alsop, a Pittsburgh copper
magnate. And there was a little more money
from a legacy left by her grandmother.
But they could live well'in Hongkong on
this income. And soon after they arrived in
the Crown Colony, they received word that
Mrs. Gasparini had finally divorced Romeo
and taken back the name Of her second land
deceased) husband, Frederic w. Nelson, who
left her a packet of money.
So Romeo and his Juliet who had so
recently been his stepdaughter. were married
in Hongkong at the American Consulate But
scarcely had they been married, when the
British authorities seized Romeo as an enemy
alien and pro-Fascist and hustled him off to
q concentration camp.
Poor Romeo! He had been one of the
bright-eyed Italian youths who went out to
Ethiopia when Mussolini ordered the conquest
of that hapless country. He had returned
from the Ethiopian campaign soul sick with
war and Fascsm, and with a body that never
fully recovered from the rigors of the cam
pagn and the climate.
He had been happy to escape to America,

home-had lasted, as far as she was con-
cerned, a little less than two years. With all
her being she yearned for the old life to
which she was accustomed and for which
she was really suited: That of young
society matron."
She did not want to be Helen of Troy, or
Isolde, or Melisande, or Cleopatra, or even
Juliet. She just wanted TO be a conventional
young society matron again.
And that's what she is, down in Washing
ton, as blond and beautiful, she presides over
the home Of her third bridegroom. Not for
Eleanor the moon and the stars.

the hearth and other symbols of the old,

handsome frame. He could
not even throw of q cold,
and with alarming speed 1t
turned into tuberculosis.
Eleanor rushed him TO
a sanatorium at San Jose,
Cal, for treatment when
physicians told them the
truth about Romeo's con-
dition. That was almost
two years ago.
For a while, Eleanor
made frequent visits to the
sanatorium, where she had
arranged to pay the ex-
penses Of her husbands
care. From day TO day,
from week to week, he
looked forward to these
visits.
Gradually, the visits
and Eleanor's letters grew
farther and farther apart.
The fire that had once con-
sumed them now burned
only for Gasparini, Wen
he received a notice at the
sanatorium that Eleanor
was divorcing him, Gaspa-

finally convinced the military authorities that

But Romeo grew more and more restless
He was not content to let his young wife sup

So he persuaded Eleanor TO return to Cali

work But when he got TO California, he dis
covered that there was little he was qualified
TO do. He had been a soldier, and no one
wanted a soldier then. And he had been

But those are hardly saleabe commodities.
Eventually, on his weary round of the
employment agencies he was caught in
heavy rain and drenched to the skin. He took

questions Wilson makes careful, a

Chinese Falsettos Are
A Special Problem
HOLLYWOOD.

I1obb "oob
One of the toughest jobs in Holly
wood is that of the sound man, who
records voices for the screen. His
work is to sit all day and get the
best effect possible from a given
throat, to make even a bad voice
sound good.
Usually this isn't too tough. Most
screen players have undergone long
years of training in the speech de-
partment. The sound mans duties
are merely to preserve the dulcet
tones of the stars for a gasping pos
terity.
Not so the man who records the
sound for China"
He has Loretta Young In the pic
ture, of course And she's all right
So are a lot of the other principals.
But he also has to record the
squeaks and breaks of 80 Chinese
players. They speak in a falsetto,
most of 'em. They send their
voices up, drop them, clip their
words as no American ever did.
When the picture is finished, the
sound man is going away for a good
long rest!
