It seems that the romantic interests of June Vvatsh never vary from the field of track men. When I knew her at high school she favored a tractc man, and this articte reports that Eugene Sommerfett, Gtympic tractc star, has heen her escort at various social functions. And speaking of social functions, did you tmow that Ruth Hangen and Helen Hayes were presented to the King and Queen of Russia after their remartcahte performance in Gone with the Breezeu? Look at this picture of Lydia Bianchi and Detphine Cimini, tooth with the Dangling Circus, their speciatty heing a sister act on the trapeze. Did you hear about Doug Mager's getting another car? It's a 12-cylinder Dusentmerg. Could it he that Marion Le Vine is the reason? Could he. My goodnesst Barhara Brovet has forsaken her popu- tarity with men to lead a retigious life of perpetual youth in that famous Shangri La. With her are Marion Devitt and Mary Dasher. Isn't this strange? It seems that five million dottars matce a difference in the opinions of some people. ,Betty Huyctc was firm in the idea that she would not he a mitkman's wife. Recently, however, Donatd Hoeffer hecame the heir to a five-mittion-dottar fortune left to him hy a hitherto unknown uncle, and Betty has gra- ciousty consented to marriage, mittcman or no mitkman. Speaking of marriages, tisten to this: Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig announce the marriage of their daughter, Ros- etta, to Mr. Franklin McLane. The ceremony was per- formed hy the Rev. Arthur Startc. Joseph Curran was hest man, white Ruth Btadenspiet was maid of honor. Look, do these names mean anything to you? Miss Dorothy Sturm has tween elected president of the S. L. T.
