Shortly before the reconciliation, which at this
writing has been announced but not elucidated'
Kay unburdened herself by saying:
"Macoco has two interests: being seen at
FL Morocco and Pepino. 1 had Pepino for
breakfast, lunch and dinner-and that was too
much Pepino"
Although details are lacking, some idea Of
what happened may perhaps be obtained by
taking a quick look at Pepino in his native
habitat a nightclub. Typical Of his per-
formances are the following
For gag he will insert cigarette in
each nostril load up his mouth with cham
pagne and then squirt out the champagne in
the manner Of a sea-on, emulating that crea-
ture to the very grunt. This, of course. Is
very hilarious when all about are IN the bag,
as the topers put it.
Another piece of Pepino puckishness is to
play dead He will take rose petals and insert
one under each eye-lid, letting another one
dangle from his lower lip. Then, assuming ae
motionless pose he viii look the nearest thing
10 a corpse you ever saw
He is an excellent mimic too of his
best approximations being of Hitler. At a
playful command from Macoco, he will crawl
under as many as three tables TO give some
unsuspecting customer hotfoot in other
words to insert a paper match between the
sole and upper of shoe and then to light the
match Giving the hotfoot is popular pas
time Of cafe society
All Pepino tricks are executed in the dead
pan manner He is not one of your loud,
boisterous comics. When not on all fours he
is the refined type.
A dgnihed group will be gathered at table
with Macoco and Pepino. Suddenly one of the
guests, unaware of the latters role jester,
will be amazed to behold him sitting with
glass of champagne balanced on his noggin.
II there is not general laughter at the sight,
Pepino will jerk his head little, allowing the
glass to somersault and drench him. This IS
guaranteed to produce the desired result
Sometimes Pepino will get himself up to
resemble a black-face comedian. Macoco will
then lead him 20 a neighboring table and
sobery introduce him to a dowager, asking
her to have the next dance with his friend The
dowager can usually be counted on TO recon
as from hot radiator, and a good time is
had by all.
Their favorite jape is a sort of William
Tell act After one Of them-they switch
around in this-has been introduced as the
worlds greatest marksman, he takes his stand

the Earl Carroll showgirl, Kathryn Ray. whom
he married in 1888 And il has been that way
with Kay Williams
He was first attracted to Kay in 1910, when
she was voted the years most popular model
by the Society of Illustrators. At the moment
she was being rushed by-in fact was reported
engaged to-Prince Carlo RuspoItIof Italy.
Macoco butted into their romantic tete-a-
tetes with all the fnesse of a maddened bull,
and he emerged bearing the breathless Kay,
like Europa, on his back
Everyone expected them TO get married, but
il did not happen just then, evidently because
Macoco with the prize in hand and everything
going smoothly couldn't help getting bored.
Incidental pickering managed TO revive his in
terest from time TO time, but it wasn't until
Kay showed signs Of ditching him in favor Of
another playboy that he regained the old
emotional impetus.
Then. in he rushed and triumphantly bore
her off again After this had happened several
times Kay got fed up and went off 10 Holly
wood to have go at the movies. There she
lent a sympathetic ear to the courtship Of
handsome George Montgomery the actor
When Macoco heard that the two were en-
gagged he went roaring out to Hollywood. This
time he had generated so much excitement
that before he knew it he found himself mar
red up TO the girl.
long as his previous one to Kathryn Ray. Then
back to New York and his beloved FL Morocco
came FL Macoco and into a Hollywood hosp-
tai with bilious attack, went Kay.
According 70 her, he had advised her TO
follow him back TO New York, but had left
nary a cent with which to finance the trip.
Instead of money, she says, he sent her oodles
of roses and a slave bracelet, thoughtfully
inscribed Mrs. Macoco, New York City
The more Kay thought about the difficulties
of travelling all the way across the continent
on nothing but roses and a slave bracelet the
angrier she got And as soon as her anger
reached the legal boiling point she went to
lawyer TO sue for divorce.
This move at least had the effect of bring
ing Macoco back to Hollywood. There are
two schools of thought about his reasons for
making the trip: one holds that he was
prompted solely by love, the other, by fear
of the California law which allows wife,
who gets divorce for good and sufficient rea-
sons, fifty per cent of her husbands property.
In any case. until few weeks ago Kay
seemed determined TO go through with her
suit, and Macoco hired lawyers to defend him.

Her reasons were logical enough. Since she

OF rigid habits the storminess is always pretty
much the same. It is as though a cyclone kept
hitting the same spot, each time from the
same direction and each time following the
same erratic course.
1t was that way when he fell in love with
Gwendolyn Baby Randolph Robinson, the
Philadelphia socialite who became his first wife
in 1925. 1t was that way with his second wife.

japes and practical jokes.
His court jester and chief japery assistant

ino (nobody seems to know whether he has
any other name) is said TO have arrived in this
country some years ago a member of a
dance team. Now he just dances for fun and,

he can.
So much for Pepino.
Another interesting facet Of Macoco's char
acter is his aversion to high places He won't
live above the fifth floor walks upstairs rather
than take an elevator, hires private railroad
cars instead of riding in airplanes.
This phobia probably saved the life Of his
second wife, Kathryn Ray, for she was in the
by tossing herself out of windows. T. il was
she never had very far to fall and by some
miracle was spared even the more serious
consequences of short drops by landing on an
awning or something
When she sued him for separation in 1884,
charging assorted cruelty. Macoco asserted
that Kathryn had tried TO end 1t all no less
than five times. After that she got discour-
aged.
Her suit was disalowed on the ground that
she had failed properly to divorce her previous
husband and so wasn't any too firmly hitched
TO Macoco.
1t is just possible that the latter's fear of
heights may not operate quite as benefcially
for all concerned in his present marriage II
did in his former one. Kay Williams seems
bound and determined to rise to stardom, and
stardom, OF course, is about as high as any

SO it looks as though any habits that

It is true that there is enough food in this country. But that does not mean we can go on eating the way we have been doing. We shall have to change our eating habits and banish many food prejudies. When we say enough food we mean enough nutrients in various food forms to keep every Ameri- can adequately fed during wartime.
 Here are few guides to correct food thinking today. Don't double in protein. Foods supplying protein are scarce and valuable as a group. Cheese is no longer a tid-bit. Con- slider it part of the days protein supply. Use eggs and dried beans and peas as often as possible for the protein dish.
 Cereals and bread will have to carry more of the load in feeding the nation. At least two servings of whole grained or enriched bread was the rule before. Now more bread and grain products than that should be included in the days ration. All grain products supply caloric value of energy. Whole-grain products carry vitamins and minerals. Grain foods need not be monotonous. A cereal dish once a day, sometimes twice, should be the rule. Choose from these porridge, hot cakes, macaroni, spaghetti. hominy grits, pudding, rolled oats cookies. Or combine grain foods with meats and chees to extend their bulk. However, grain foods do not take the place of meat or vegetables. They can help make up for some of the vita min and mineral values.
 Fats are limited. so use carefully. The amount of fat needed in the days diet to make food palatable is at least 2 tablespoons. Remember that and plan accordingly.
 Fats give more appetizing flavor to foods. they also make food seem to stick to the ribs. Your daily fat supply can come from these sources: butter fortified margarine, cream, lard or other shortening. fat in meat, vegetable oil or the fats Saved from cooking. such as drippings.
 Consider these facts carefully.

that Q change in the penalty was needed,
 Under the old laws, if a player passed out of turn, when 1t was his rieht-hand opponents turn to bid, his (the offender's) partner was barred for the entire auction The new law reads that if player passes out of turn when it Is his rfght.hand opponents turn to bid the offender himself must pass at his first opportunity, but may re- enter the auction if he gets an op- portunity to bid,
 In today'S hand, after South,s opening bid of one club, North passed before West took any action. Under, the old laws South was barred for the balance of the auction, Q very severe penalty. The new law will bar North for one round, and then the bidding will proceed as shown in the box.
 There is no doubt that players will agree wholeheartedly with this change, as the offenSe prob. ably occurs more frequently than any other.
