She Drove "Miss Syndicate" to Victory The patrician set from San Francisco to Maine, for instance, got the shock - of its life when from Reno sped the * tidings—lad to Delphine at igasfc— that she had been granted a divorce from James H. R. Cn pnvoU, \'e,w York banker 'find son ’ of the, Philadelphia so ciety leader, Mrs; Ea T. StbteS'b'u'.ryl The grounds were given a.- ‘'mental cruelty." 'The suit, brought by the beau-: tifu! daughter of the late Horace Dodge, motor magnate, was undefended. The. specific instance alleged by ptd.ph.tne was that her husband -had. spoken slightingly >f her mother, now Mrs. Hugh D.liman, whose personal., fortune is estimated at 540,060,000, Mrs, Dodfre married the young actor, former husband of Marjorie Rambefiu, after he. had “swung" a deal whereby the matron obtained title to the > '.CMiu.no*> Palm Beach mansion of Mrs “Josh” Cos den, oil millionaire,-s. Young Mrs. Croimveir said she under weft: “much humiliation and embarrass ment,’’ as a consequence of Cromwell's critical remarks. The divorce .wrote “Finis” to a romance that had had its, beginning, in Florida eight years, age. Ttvo months after the announcement of their engagement they were married in July, 1920, and the bride wr.> showered with gifts costing over $500,000. The one child of the Cromwells, a five-year-old daughter, Christine, will, on the authority of the court's sanction^ spent alternate periods with her mother and father.

It is Professor J. IS. S. Haldane, of Cambridge University, who has ut tered this extremely radical remark. This hazarded opinion runs counter to what people have thought about the rat for many years. Its savage temper, the unexpectedness with which it has been known to lash out at persons in self-defense or “pure cussed ness” and its wilv running have made it a hated and feared object.

While they were in the metropolis, John Dodge was stricken with illness and short ly thereafter died. He was followed by his brother not very much later. In the two deaths, superstitious persons saw the mystic workings of the pearls, but this was derided by the more rational-minded. Whatever the powers of the pearls, they are extraordinary gems. Said to be 2.000 years old, they were taken—so the legend runs—from Mithridates by the Roman general, Ponipey. They reap peared as the possessions of Catherine II, of Russia, centuries after. Later they were added to the Romanoff collection; disappeared during the Terror, and were disposed of in France. The only time that Mrs. Dodge was known to have worn them in public was on the occasion of her daughter’s mar riage to the son of Mrs. Stotesbury, her self famous as a gem owner. James H. R. Cromwell, Whom Delphint Divorced. Isabel Dodge Sloane is chiefly known for her string of racing ponies, and the fact that her father, John F. Dodge, was worth $40,000,000. Much of this wealth passed to her upon her father’s death. Are any of the rest of the Dodges getting ready to dodge domesticity and duck discords? Or has Delphine’s di vorce cleared the air, like a wholesome thunderstorm* leaving only white skies and golden sun for the family to bask in? Nobody seems to know.
