\ \ # FAGS SDL ) THS BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA MANIKIN TELLS OF HER LIFE IN PARIS Sumunm, Famous Beauty, Says AlMs Not Frills. ~~ „ Paris.—The private life of a Pari* manikin, bedecked with diamonds and befurred with sable and ermine to the cafcual and superficial observer, often is • couple of cold sausages and a capful of black coffee to the person who takes the trouble to investigate beyond the thick piled carpets and crystal chandeliers of the style salons. Sumurun—enchantress of the des ert—British beauty with eyes the color •f the River Nile and jet black tresses from the land ; of the tambourines and troubadours, has given the inside story of Ijer life as the world’s roost beauti ful manikin. Her real name first was Vera Ashby before her marriage to a scientist, a professor of mental diseases, Doctor Papadakl. He later, for love of her, shot himself in his laboratory in Swit zerland after a year of honeymoon happiness, horror and worse-than- death existence, during which his own mind became deranged. Fearing that In his moments of delirium he might harm his beautiful bride, he took his own life that she might be free Father Failed in Business. When this British beauty, whom ev eryone accuses of being every known nationality except her own. first be came a manikin, she was a long, lean, lanky girl in her teens, walking the streets for a job. Her father had failed In business. She had a friend who was working at Lucile’s in Lon don. The girl told her to try out for a manikin's job that was open. "Me be a fashion manikin?” she replied. "Why. you know I couldn’t. Pm too skinny and I’m not beautiful!" she finished wistfully. The friend in sisted and the next day she was on the stage of Lady Duff Gordon’s salon with Edward Molyneux, now of Paris fame, as her audience. "They draped an oriental gown over me,” she said, "a gorgeous piece of fabric designed by Molyneux. The very touch of it thrilled me beyond words. I heard him shout through the emptiness of the room, ’Act! Do something with yourself—move around —Interpret my dress, he somebody !’ ’’ The keen observer of inborn grace and refinement knew that he had made a "find.’’ His curt, “Very well. You will do," was uttered even more gruffly to hide his exultation. “Soon after that," continued the now famous manikin, “I was sent to Luclle’s Paris house with Molyneux. A month later when lie opened up Ids own place I went with him. Because I always felt the interpretation of the clothes 1 wore, people soon began to write and talk about me, and before I knew what was happening I be came famous, receiving proposals from love-sick office boys and million aires alike—both by mail and in person. Lov# at Fi-at Sight. "It was love a', first sight on the part of my first husband, and he ex erted a s|»ell over me which I wns powerless to break, even with ray own wish not to marry him. At first I used to stay up ugtll 3 and 4 a. ip., going to cabarets and allows, but when I couldn’t pay the price I found was expected my Invitations became fewer and fewer. *T still lived in one room in a little hotel and even after my spectacular laarrlnge to Doctor Papadakl, his trng ic death and my return to work with Molyneux, I never could stand to pre tend in my private life the life 1 only acted during the day." In 1030 .Sumurun became the br^de of an artist whom she saved from tjui- dde by sending hfm a little bouquet of violets, intuitively and at the psy chological moment when he had the pistol pointed at his temple. A little note pinned to the flowers ‘T am your friend; you never feel lonely." ^ Marcel Poncln could not ask' 1 the gorgeous girl to marry him because ho was destitute. The enchantress of the desert had to put words in his ith and then set action to the They were wed amid enthusl- ceremonles in the Latin quarter of the left bank “and now," she con- duded, "I have gone back to work, not as a manikin this time, but as a sales woman. This la a real love match aai, while we have no money, we hare each other." Royal Dinner Service Sold for Princesses London.—A royal silver dinner serv- k», engraved with the arms of Prince Henry of Battenberg and of Princess Beatrice and made by the famous sil versmith, Paul Storr, was sold recent ly at auction by order of Princess Beatrice.

LINDBERGH TURNS TO RESEARCH WORK Colonel Keeps Nature of Ex periments Secret. New York.—Col. Charles A. Lind bergh has plunged Into his research work witb«renewi<l vigor in an effort to forget the past. He goes almost daily to an extensive laboratory reserved for his personal use in the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, in New York city, but exactly what he does there Is hid den behind a barrier of secrecy. A few months ago It became known that Colonel Lindbergh, then the hap py father of a curly-haired son, had been working on a centrifugal appar atus’deslrfiifed to separate serum from the blood. t - • r ^ Observers, however, are disinclined to believe his whole attention is rivet ed on such a prosaic affair as a centri fuge. Curiosity has been whetted by Instructions prohibiting employees from approaching the Lindbergh lab oratory or attempting to engage the famous flyer In conversation. When Lindbergh sits among co-work ers for luncheon In the restaurant on the grounds he Is not disturbed. None speaks of the dire .events which the colonel Is trying to forget. They have been cautioned, too, against talking abroad about the col- onel'B return to his laboratories, so that he may enter and leave without being subjected to the gaze of curious outsiders. Lindbergh, who was known as “Slim” long before his son was kid naped, obviously has lost weight, but his countenance is cheerful. There is much speculation as to the nature of his work. In connection with the serum experiment, it was re called that Lindbergh’s first associa tion with the institute was when he flew to Quebec with some anti-pneu monia serum provided by it for the stricken Fioyd Bennett. It is thought he might be Interested in developing a serum to be carried on polar flights, but that is only one of the many guesses and rumors.

Next to German books, the average Inted from the English. American and British authors, statistics reveal, enjoy the greatest popularity in Ger many. Russia is second. Nevertheless, the publication of for eign books shows a decrease within the past half year of over 20 per cent, compared with the year before. France was the chief loser.
