NEW YORK, Apr. 2—Rita Hayworth can stir wh a mystery about herself better thah anybody. It may be solved by now, but for several days New York Sh’'shiety circles were working themselves into a great stew over the meaning of Rita Hayworth’s visit to America—alone. Princess Margarita's letters to friends as late as February were just bubbly about her marital happiness. But now her closest friends, “her managers, her agents, are puzzled about the suddenness of her decision to come back to the U. 8S. with her two children—and without the handsome Prince Aly Khan. That she would come alone—and that there'd be rumors—were forecast by this column Mar. 9. $: O b = AER MEXICAN butler and chauffer, Domingo, appears to be the only one who's heard from her directly. He left Los Angeles. with cabled orders to repart to her when she arrives here on the DeGrasse Monday. The many experts on love and marriage say certainly that the Brooklyn redhead had decided abruptly to’ ‘give up her several homes, her racing stable and her third husband—just as they'd always predicted.
“No, I think not,” said Princess Andree Aga -
Khan, second wife of the Aga Khan, to friends. “I believe she’s only decided to come back here and make a movie,” added the Princess Andree, who had heard by cable from the Aga Khan himself that Rita is due here, But she insisted she hadn't heard of any bustup. oe 6 THE PRINCESS ANDREE (a good friend of Titas is herself sailing on the Ile de France for France, She will miss Rita . .. but will cable her regrets, she said. Some of Rita's friends dropped hints to several N’Yorkers by mail that she might offer a “big surprise” here. We asked Rita's ‘uncle, Antonio Cansino, the ballroom dancer, and his young redhaired wife, Billie, who recently turned bandleader, about this. They saw Rita frequently in Paris in October. Tony. smiled and asked to be excused when asked whether, from what he'd seen, he thought there was a separation due. “Don’t put me in bad. Don't put Uncle Tony on the spot!” he begged. > © #3 NEVER-—SAW -them—mueh—alone.—Theywere always with people,” he said. Uncle Paco, a -flamenco dancing teacher at Jack Stanley's school. over .the Capitol Theater, said: “1 don’t see how they can last. crazy people!” And then he added he knew nothing about it. When I saw Rita in London last summer, ghe was calling Aly “Sweetheart” and he was calling her “Baby.” “I have no plans to come back,” she said. “I have a contract with Columbia Pictures I'm. not satisfied with.” Actually, she'd refused to do a picture called “Lona Hanson.” Suspension had followed.
They're _both
Then she'd demanded a better deal. But nothing had ever been worked out. dh do @ : ONE OF THE busybodies’ theories is that she will. try to make a movie deal and get
some American dollars—always precious to for-

J. Edgar Hoover, and you know who ‘he is, told me personally once, that he's sorry the woodshed passed out of existence.

He was cautioned by his father not to be destructive. Something happened in the course of the evening and a small section of a neighbor’s hedge was yanked out.

Author Finds She's Not Alone
CHAPTER ONE By BETH BROWN I WAS born in New York City. I loved its crowds, it chaos, its dust and soot, its sweltering summer nights and its slippery winter sidewalks. So I thought. Far years, I was a member of the typewriter chain gang, working when the rest of the world slept and sleeping when the rest of the world worked. I paid a dollar an hour for a maid and two hundred a. month for a four-room apartment. That
ture. Plaintive eyes in her direction only made her feel worse. The indignity of being disciplined for disobeying instructions hurt. more than the strapping. That was the first and last time the boy needed. a strap. I remember the incident as if it happened yesterday. Td
YES, GENTLEMEN, give “he child a sense of security, dove him, make him feel wanted and make him feel that he’s an important part of the family. But don’t let him run when he hasn't learned how to walk. Explain right from wrong. Mark plainly the area he is to travel and tell him why. Tell him the consequences and make him feel accomplishment when he fulfills his duty. When talk, reasoning and guidance fails, apply the strap, hard. It needn't happen more than once if it’s done right, early enough, when it's warranted. Right?

Wm. O'Dwyer caused a very slight scare at the Hotel Carlyle. A voice on the phone warned, “If he's not out. by noon, I'll bomb the place!” O'Dwyer himself got much vile mail there. He ate in his room, was shaved by the hotel barber in his room, made many long-distance calls. Neglected by old friends, he was, in the last few days, a Forgotten Man—except in the headlines.

AS I STARTED up the road of my new life—I soon learned I was not alone in my trek to the country.
I seemed to be part of a long procession of city dwellers escaping from the city.
I wasn’t the only one looking for a lease on a house and on a new life. To my amazement, I soon discovered that there was a wholesale exodus on wheels taking place not only from New York but from every large city in America.
