Pa r ts.-Thc private, life of a Paris manikin, bedecked with diamonds and befurred with sable and ermine to thci casual and superficial observer, often is a couple of cold sausages and a cupful of black coffee to the person who takes the trouble to investigate beyond the thick piled carpets and \ THE BARNWELL PKOPLE-SENTPreL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA X' PAGET! LINDBERGH TURNS TO RESEARCH WORK crystal chandeliers of the style salons. Sumurun—enchantress of the des- er t British beauty with eyes the color of the River Nile and jet black tresses from the land of the tambourines and troubadours, has given the inside story of her life as the world’s most beauti ful manikin. Her real name first was Vera Ashby before her marriage to a scientist, a professor of mental diseases, Doctor Papadaki, He later, for love of her, shot himself in his laboratory in Swit zerland after a year of honeymoon happiness, horror and worse-tha^- death existence, during which "his own mind becajne deranged. Fearing that in his moments of delirium he might harm his beautiful bride, he took fils own life that she might be free. Father Failed in Business. When this British beautv. 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 - effects for a job. Her father had » ^l in business. She had a friend 5vas working at Lucile’s in Lon- 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. I'm 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 wbrds. I heard him shout through the emptiness of the room, ‘Act! Do something with yourself—move around —interpret my dress, be 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 eveu more gruffly to hide his exultation. “Soon after that,” continued the now famous manikin, “I was sent to I.ucile's Paris house with Molyneux. A month later when he opened up his own place 1 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. Love a* First Sight. “It was love at first sight on the part of my first husband, and he ex erted a spell over me which 1 was powerless to break, even with my own wish not to marry him. At first I used to stay up until .‘1 and 4 a. m., going to cabarets and shows; but when I couldn't pay the price I found was expected my invitatioifs became fewer and fewer. “I still lived in one room in a little Lei and even after my spectacular Jriage to Doctor Papadaki, his trag 'death and my return to work_ with Molyneux, I never >-could stand to pre tend in my privaje life the life I only acted during the day.” In 1!)30 Sumurun became the bride of an artist whom she saved from sui cide by sending him 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 said: 'T am your friend; you never need feel lonely." Marcel Poncln could not ask the gorgeous girl to marry him because he was destitute. The enchantress of the desert had to put words in his mouth and then set action to the words. They were wed amid enthusi astic ceremonies in the Latin quarter of the left bank “and now,” she con cluded, “I have gone back to work, not as a manikin,this time, but as a sales woman. This is a real love match and, while we have no money, we have e^ch other." Colonel Keeps Nature of Ex periments Secret. New York.—Col. Charles A. Lind bergh has plunged into his research work with renewed 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; INDUSTRY SEES * HOPEFUL SIGNS, BANKERS TOLD i Leading Automobile Unit Ex pects to Employ More Men This Winter Than Last MOTOR SUPPLY IN HANDS OF PUBLIC FALLING OFF Row With Mate Over Cards Fatal to Wife Cl\ye land - —A Quarrel during a game Bates, W.

The husbhnd, a middle-aged den A few months ago it became known "that Colonel Lindbergh, then the hap py father of a curly-haired soft, had been working on a centrifugal appar atus designed to separate serum from the blbod. 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 ittie colonel is trying to forget. They have been cautioned, too, against talking abroad about the col onel’s 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 be flew to Quebec with some anti-pneu monia serum provided by it for the stricken Floyd Bennett. It Is thought be might be interested in developing a serum to lie carried on polar flights, but that is only one of the many guesses and rumors. • f' df Invents Mechanical Aid to Guide City Visitors Columbus, Ohio.—The “Teleguide,” a mechanical aid to strangers, lias made its appearance in Columbus. The device, an invention of Michael Abel, consists of a large scale map of the central portion of the city, oyef which are scattered 900 little Tights corresponding to various public build ings, places of Interest and business firms. Each light is numbered and listed on a large directory board. The stranger seeking the location of the county courthouse, on refer ring to the directory, finds it is num ber 3G2. He steps to an instrument similar to an automatic telephone am dials a number. Light 302 glows marking the courthouse. Three “-Teleguides," constructed at a cost of .<30.000 will be available to the public soon. One will be installed in the Union station. The others will be placed in the city's two largest hotels. It was said that negotiations were under way for~installing “Teleguides" at the Century of Progress at Chicago next year to direct visitors to the various exhibits. English Books in Lead in German Translation Berlin.—Books written in the Eng lish language hold first place among works by foreign authors translated ^ Info* German. -Next .to German books, the average German reader prefers those trans lated 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.
