Meanwhile, the question Is: who

Sturges, for example, could sue his
first wife for divorce, naming her
second husband, Sergt. Mark, as Co
respondent. Chances are he won't,
because he Is an equally good target to
her. not to mention his second wife.
Judith and the Sergeant are In the
best suing positions. Both could no
doubt win annulments hands down.
Both, too, could raise the bigamy issue

because in their case the ostensible
victims, Judith and Sergt. Mark, give
signs of just letting things slide.
Ann Marie seems 10 have been
elected TO do whatever suing is done.
Several lawyers have gone into a
huddle and advised her:
ID To have her marriage to the
Sergeant annulled on the ground that
she was already married when it oc-
Cured. Then
(2) To hot foot ii out to Reno and
obtain a genteel divorce from the
Lieutenant who, thereafter, will be
free to marry Judith again, if she
still wants him.
If she follows this plan, Ann
Marie's first step. the annulment
from Mark, should have somewhat
reminiscent quality.
For long before her collective
matrimony days when she was IS
years old-she gave notice of the
stuff she was made of by clipping with
Gordon Gillian, from whom she later
obtained an annulment.
He's a captain in the Army now,
but when Ann Marie attached her
self to him he was only a schoolboy.
AS such, he put up a gallant, but
hopeless, battle to keep his bride.
So maybe her double-takes have
been just the result of a profound,

Saportas, daughter of Marion Tiff

That the Sergeant had no idea the

by the loyal promptitude with which
