By KEA Service N r ‘ IEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Rumors of divorce rumbling started by demure Patti Harrold’s petition for a judicial slice at the cord l_ _J which binds her to Jack McElroy, her actor-husband, have stirred fresh remembrances of the matrimonial jinx which seemingly has haunted the Harrold family for years. * Ever since Fate—or was, it Fortune?—gave Patti’s papa a push from his deflivery wagon in Muncie, Ind., a long' time ago, the Harrolds have been flitting about from one marriage bower to another without apparently finding one which Just suited. When Papa Harrold dropped his reins to leap to meteoric fame as a singer, he left two divorced wives behind in the ripple of his success. Today, he has settled down with a third better half of the "intellectual stimulus” variety, to a life of cows and, chickens on a Connecticut farm. But gay Patti Harrold, however, has had only one adventure. And she now comes forward by affidavit alleging the first time didn’t take. And although admitting "Jack is a peach," she'd just as leave have her romantic colors changed from drab gray to something more cheerful. If you don’t mind, Mr. Judge.
