Wife Shows Lo yalty to Hauptmann Attitude Could Hardly Be Otherwise Until Trial Ends. BY HELEN WELSHIMER XEA Service Staff Writer MRS BRUNO RICHARD HAUPTMANN is severely criticised in some quarters because she is standing by her husband on trial charged with the murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. Where else should she take her stand? Bruno Richard Hauptmann may be a detestable name to a vast

throng of persons who have convicted him without trial, but wives, if they are worth their salt, have a peculiar trick of standing by even ill-gotten husbands. There aren’t even two choices open to Mrs. Hauptmann. If she was in her hus ban d’s confidence —and he is proved guilty as

Helen Welsh inter

charged—then she is bound to him with self-forged chains. If she nad no guilty knowledge of the Linabergh crime, it is a pretty harsh heart that demands that she align herself against her husband until the case has been decided. Certainly it is, a dastardly crime of which Hauptmann is accused. Os course Mrs. Hauptmann has a small son of her own which makes her doubly conscious of the agony that someone inflicted on the Lindbergh family. Attitude Justified All right, you say; then how can she support her husband who Is under accusation? Easily and rigntly! A man is innocent, even in tne eyes of the law, until he is proved guilty. Why shouldn’t he get the same break from his wife? When the law hands out an unfavorable verdict, wives find it difficult to unpin th -ir faith from trie shields of the man who have borne it. A woman will admit a man’s sin. But sometimes she can't stop loving the sinner. A woman who is worthy of her name will not desert a man when he needs her. She will trust him to the last crossroads, and if the path splits, she will cloak her loyalty in sympathy as she removes the mangled mantle of her pride. Whether Bruno Richard Hauptmann is a child-killing fiend or just a German carpenter accused falsely. Mrs. Hauptmann needs sympathy j far more than her actions open her to criticism. If her husband is in- j nocent she has been drawn over un- ! necessary coals. But if the man whom she thought was kind and gentle and brave, the man who would protect her. and all womanhood and childhood as well, is a murderer who deserves to be pushed off this terrestrial globe with 20*h century speed, she doubly needs our pity. Love Ignores Reason Still another argument comes from the ranks of protected womanhood that needs not venture beyond the barricades which a man's affection and strength have built for them. How could a woman be fond of Hauptmann, they ask? How could she love such a man? That, of course, we can't explain. But we do know that the human heart finds its dreams in most peculiar places. If Haup mann gave his wife love and tenderness and excitement, after his fashion, she has a trust to keep. After all. she is standing by the man she knows, not the one whom the courts and the newspapers have been presenting to you and to me. Her allegiance goes to the man who was her husband, and undoubtedly she is wondering how he ever got himself into such a vile mess. Certainly no mercy shculd be granted the murderer of the Lindbergh child, whether that murderer is Hauptmann or another man. If Hauptmann is guilty he has strain, and the quality of mercy until it is thinner than air in his courtroom today. But let s not pull our skirts away from his wife because once, when she was young and spring was scattering its life urge among plants and human beings, she fell in love with the man whose name is fast becoming a synonym of heartlessness.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Ann Hollister breaks her engagement to Tony Mickle the same day that Peter Kendall II tells Valeria Bennett, his fiancee, that everything is over between them. Ann thinks she still loves Tony and Peter believes he still cares for Valeria, but when chance brings the two together and Peter asks’ Ann to marry him she agrees. They go to Florida and are happy there. Then Peter is recalled home. His family snubs Ann and Valeria tries to make trouble between Ann and Peter. She succeeds finally and Ann goes away, leaving no trace of her whereabouts. Peter, desperately In love with her. grows lonelier as the w?eks pass. His efforts to locate Ann are fruitless. She has found work as governess In the home of Mrs. Tracy, an artist. Allan Vincent. Mrs. Tracy’s brother, is attentive to Ann. , Valeria, scheming to wdn Peter back, persuades him to hire Allan Vincent to decorate the home he bought for Ann. Allan takes Ann to see the house. He is about to reveal the owmer’s name when one of the children screams. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN (Continued) THEY had moved through the living room, through the dining room with its windowed alcove opening on the garden. Now they entered one of the bedrooms. "How would you furnish this room?” Allan asked unexpectedly. Ann said, hesitantly, “I wouldn’t dare—” "Please.” “Well, then, I would have frilly white curtains at my windows, with overdraperies of flowered white chintz—chintz sprigged with delphinium in shades of bright blue and other small flowers in mulberry. The walls would be oyster white. The bed would be a four-poster with a valance like the draperies. There would be other Colonial pieces—” "All right, go on.” "That’s about all. It would be

restful and beautiful,” Ann said wistfully. “It will be, you mean. I’m going to carry out your ideas.” "But I thought you said—?” “That girl wanted a chromium and glass dressing table, pink point d’sprit curtains and a green velvet chaise lounge.” “Oh, no!” Ann shook her head. “Not in this room!” “Yes. You are nominated my only assistant on this job. When I want help, ‘the woman's touch, 1 I’ll call on you.” “What did Mrs. Tracy mean about the place being ill-fated?” Ann asked. “It was built by a chap named Ronald Brent for his wife. The tale goes that he was very much in love with her. The ho,use had just been completed when I came here about six months ago. A short while afterward the Brents were divorced. “That was sad,” Ann said in a low voice. “Yes. But most marriages end in divorce—or should.” “You’re terribly cynical. Isn’t there a chance this couple may be reconciled?” “Not a chance. Now for something that will make you understind why I am a cynic! He’s chasing about with a chorus girl and his wife has attached a rich rotter who, it is said, will get a divorce to marry her. It's all just a business of marrying and remarrying. Why marry at all?” When Ann did not reply, Allan said, “But of course an unsophisticated little girl like you couldn’t be expected to agree to that.” “When people marry they should marry forever and ever ” Ann said with sudden passion. “Bravo! Thdt got a rise from our little Puritan.” “Did you some one else had bought this house,” Ann asked, changing the subject quickly. “Yes, the chap w r ho engaged me. His name is—” a a a CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT ALLAN did not complete the sentence. A shrill scream from Sissy brought Allan and Ann both rushing to the garden. There were the two small ones, safe and sound. Sissy stood sturdily, her little round legs apparently glued to the spot, her arms waving wildly. “Make ’im take 'm away, Ann.” Sonny, grinning delightedly, was holding an arm out rigidly. “She's j scared of a worm. Fraidy!” Sonny said. “It’s a snake!” Sissy, clinging tightly to Ann, peered with fascinated eyes at the long green object dangling from her twin’s hand. “No, it's not a snake,” said Allan, “although it wouldn't surprise me if snakes do come about here some time, particularly near the river . edge.” Ann shivered slightly. “You don’t like snakes either, do you?” Sissy said, looking up at her. Ann said “No,” in a low tone. She w T as thinking of Valeria. Desolation swept over her at the thought. Fear gripped her heart. “I suppose she's with Peter,” she thought. “I suppose she is with him all the time now.” Valeria was with Peter that afternoon. And during other afternoons as the weeks passed. She knew people were speculating, awaiting the announcement that peter planned to get a divorce and marry her. She had not mentioned to him the subject that was nearest her heart. Valeria was biding her time. Ann’s name did not come to Peter’s lips as frequently as in the past. But sometimes when Valeria referred to Ann casually she saw a grim look settle on his face and the muscles contract about his mouth. No, peter hadn’t forgotten Ann. But he was becoming surer as the days went by that she would never come back. Hope was leaving him. And the house was now only a symbol of an adventure in faith that had failed. He had taken Valeria out to the house a number of times and she had applauded the decorator’s suggestions. Inwardly she raged because she was being shut out of the picture. Not one of her suggestions had been accepted. Peter, moving through the rooms with a haunted expression on his face, was no help in putting Allan Vincent in his place. It was almost as though Peter were seeing ghosts, the way he looked about, the way he started

Regency Trend in Style Given Expression With Pastel and Bright Hues Pale Colors Form One Range; Crimson, Ap-ple-Green, Fuchsia and Capucine Make Up Second. BY HELEN LINDSAY ONCI again, from the pages of French history, which brought us the Empress Eugenie hats several years ago. comes an inspiration for women's fashions, in the Regency colors which are being used in new costumes for women. Set in motion by the Noel Coward play, "Conversation Piece,” several months ago. the trend for these colors has brought into the fabrics of modern feminine clothing the colors and color combinations which were seen in the period in France when Philip, Duke of Orleans, was regent for Louis XV. Two ranges are seen in the regency colors, as seen in the play, and

now reproduced in costumes which leading designers are showing. One is a collection of pale pastels, and the other bright colors which include crimson, apple green, fuchsia and capucine. Capucine is a deep orange color, which takes its name from the nasturtium which is called capucine. Fashion reports from Paris show that this color will be one of the vivid ones seen in feminine costumes. Dark green, magenta and peacock blue are others, while geranium pink and celestial blue, popular in regency days, will be seen this season, too. Dark tones or neutral gray ones, mentioned in the style reports of the Regency period as dove gray, will form the backgrounds for colorful prints. In no other season has it been so evident that color would be worn. At the recent opening of the Metropolitan Opera season.

feminine costumes were bright and colorful, with very little black shown. Purples, which have not been used for several years, were seen in a number of costumes, and a light mulberry color was seen in the evening clothes of very young women. ts a a / a a Fur Fashions Attract Attention IN addition to the interest aroused by colors as seen at the Metropolitan Opera premiere, much attention was given by stylists to the fur fashions which were evident on the same occasion. One was a white ermine finger-tip coat, with a mandarin sleeve and a narrow rolled collar. Another was a full length evening cape of mink, with a wide pointed collar, which was fastened by a gold chain at the neckline. Mink also was seen in finger-tip length coats, with wide revers and upstanding collars. Full swagger coats were seen, and box coats with slightly fitting waistlines, with sleeves wide at the wrists to allow space for numbers of bracelets which are being worn. a a a a a a Princess Marina Is Name of New Plaid \ NEW plaid, said to have been designed by the Duke of Kent for his HL bride, being shown in one of the exclusive eastern shops, is called Princess Marina plaid. It is a Balmoral plaid, in which black, bright red and gray are combined. The original plaid was made for the Duchess of Kent in an Inverness coat. Coats copied from this arc- shown in tweed, in the royal plaid. a a a a a a Wool and Taffeta Combined in Dress GRAY wool, combined with plaid taffeta in black and white, has been used in anew ensemble worn by Kitty Carlisle, Paramount player, who was seen at the Indiana and the Circle theaters, in “Here Is My Heart.” The dress is in tunic outline, and buttons down the front to the bottom of the tunic effect. With it Miss Carlisle wore a cape lined with the plaid taffeta. The same taffeta trims the dress, with a huge bow at the rather low neckline. The dress sleeves are long, gathered, with a shallow flaring ruffle below the snug-fitting cuffs.

suddenly, hearing Valeria’s step beside him. Os course, Valeria told herself, after she and Peter, were married she could always change whatever she wished in the house. They passed Millicent and Mrs. Kendall on the drive home. “Peter and Valeria are seeing each other a great deal,” Mrs. Kendall said with satisfaction. “I’m glad the farce is nearing an end. But you don’t like Valeria, do you?” “I like her so little that I could drag Ann back by her hair if I knew where to find her,” Millicent retorted. “Bug, though I dislike Varelia, I don’t underestimate her cleverness. I suppose it won’t be long before she lands Peter—hook, line and sinker.” Milicent was thinking, “Drn b, dumb, dumb! He’ll be telling it to a lawyer soon, thinking a divorce is what he wants. I'd like to tell him what I think of that blond deceiver. But it would only send him straight into her arms.” a a a THE next day Valeria commandered. Peter’s services for welfare work. “I hope I didn’t interfere with anything really important,” she said, slipping her arm through his as they came down the steps. “But my car was in the shop and I felt I must get these things to my needy families. Could you really spare the time, or are you doing this to please me?” “To please you.” He smiled know ring that was the answer she wanted. “You’re sweet.” Valeria laid a caressing hand on his arm. She moved closer to him. “I’m giving you the whole day off tomorrow,” she continued. “There’s a meeting of my committee in the afternoon and a conference about the clinic tomorrow night. I shall miss seeing you terribly.” “I’ll miss seeing you, too,” Peter said. It came to him as a shock to find that he meant it. Valeria was getting to be a habit with him. The [ soothing, flattering way of hers had been balm for his wounds. The feeling that he was essential to some woman’s happiness was not unj pleasant. Well, why not? After all, Ann had found him not worth loving, i Had found the tho ight of belonging to him intolerable. “I’ve found out at out you, Peter. And I can not possioly bear it. . .” All he needed to feel sick—physically, mentally and spiritually—was i to remember that phrase in Ann’s ; letter. Scorning him and casting aside all he had to offer her. Evan millions had not been sufficient to make her lot bearable with him. And here was Valeria, becoming I more womanly all the time; show- ! ing qualities he had missed in her before. Thinking of this, Pet*;* patted her 1 hand, saying awkwardly, “You’ve been sweet to me, Valeria. I wish I could make up for it. Some w r ay.” “Oh, Peter, you are!” There was a silence after that. A breathless silence, as Valeria waited for his reply. But Peter said nothing, only frowned intently into space. It was worth waiting for—Peter’s surrender. Valeria settled contentedly against the seat. “Let’s drive out to the house Wednesday night. I want to see it ! with the lights on. And I’d love to see the garden and river by moonlight." Peter said, “The furniture isn’t there yet. Wouldn’t you rather wait?” “No. We can go again.” “What’ll I do with the place—now?” “Please don’t be sorry. I've been happy thinking it was helping you.” “I'm an ungrateful idiot. What time shall I come by for you?” “About eight.” “Afterward we might drive to Ingleside and talk to Mr. Vincent. He’d be pleased.”

"I’ll give him a ring and ask him to meet us at the house,’’ Peter said. a a a ALLAN said to Ann, “I need you this afternoon. Will you go shopping with me?” His dark eyes met hers eagerly. “I’ll be too busy.” "You haven't an alibi. I'm treating the children to a kid’s matinee and Sadie has been handsomely tipped to give up her afternoon off and take them.” "But—” "Ann, there are times when I'm not sure of your sanity. An attractive girl like you turning into a recluse. “Allan, I ” "I warn you if you don’t come with me, I’m prepared to be an infernal nuisance. Sadie and the children will be away. Lois will be gone. Just you and I.” He had been drinking, Ann saw. Not much, but enough >to be the nuisance he boasted he would. In this mood, he reminded her of Tony. "All right,” Ann agreed, "if you really need help I’ll come.” “I find I’m no good at decorating without you,” he said whimsically. “We’ll spend the afternoon looking at tapestries and rugs, at silks and satins, at Chippendale and Sheraton pieces, at Directoire day beds and Empire chairs. We’ll talk color schemes. Does the program suit?” “Perfectly.” He laughed. "What a queer girl you are—more interested in making another woman’s home beautiful than in planning one of your own!” “My own.” She spoke impulsively, then flushed. He spoke roughly, “I suppose I’m bound not to follow tnat opening. Let’s get going.” It was not a happy afternoon— Ann trailing beside Allan, listening to his expert comments. Allan Vincent was in love with her. Or was he? If he were, it was a different type of love than Tony had offend her. Tony’s love had lacked stability, but it was not all emotion. Ann had the feeling tjaat there was something impersonal about Allan Vincent’s feeling for her. It lacked devotion, yet it was not a light emotion, either. His hand had shaken as he lifted a cigaret. His eyes had smoldered. He was starved for affection. Lonely, isolated. That must be it. Oh, why had this happened to her? Now everything would be changed. All the friendliness would be gone. She would feel self-con-scious, constrained. Perhaps it would be better to go away. “Ann, I’ve asked you twice what you think of this wrought iron flower stand.” “I think it's beautiful.” “And these Wedgewood urns for the garden.” (To Be Continued)
