Widows of Hollywood By Dorothy Manners
gold reminder of a tinsel experience. Why shouldn't I have sold it? I paid for it in the first place. Not by any stretch of the imagination could my marriage be looked on as a sweet, romantic episode. It stood for everything miserable and unhappy in my life and nothing pleasant. If the marriage means nothing — why should the wedding ring?" That's one way of looking at it.
I don't mean to change the moods too violently, but Claire Windsor was the next person of discarded wedding rings I met, and Claire gets us back to the lavender and old lace motif. Like Pauline Garon, the lovely Windsor still wears her wedding ring, but her reason is less sentimental. "I still wear it," admitted Claire, flashing the little platinum band in the sunlight to catch the sparkle of the diamonds. "It's a pretty one, don't you think? I love all pretty things." It's nice that Bert Lytell gave Claire such a pretty ring. Else it might not have remained among her souvenirs.
Marian Nixon really didn't want to be quoted about what she did with the wedding ring Joe Benjamin gave her. Not that it has a lot of sentimental value, either. She looked very dainty and regretful when she said, "You know my marriage was so unsuccessful — the less said about it the better." She doesn't wear Joe's ring, that's a cinch. I looked on the right finger, and it wasn't there. I know Marian well enough, however, to have an idea that she has it put away. Maybe down in some bank vault along with her other legal difficulties is the platinum band given her by the boy who, for a while, was one of the country's most promising lightweight boxers.

Jackie Keeps No Reminders
Jacqueline Logan, peppy and red-headed, didn't have . much luck in her matrimonial flyer with Ralph Gillespie. Like Marian. But unlike Marian, she doesn't mind telling the world about it in all of its disappointing phases. Marriage, in her case, was twice as expensive as it was sacred. As a husband, Mr. Gillespie was a great luxury. The girl has a lot of sweet memories — all of bills. In time she got rid of both her husband and her wedding ring.
A young colored gentleman named Freddie is Jackie's chauffeur. Freddie was all set to get married, but he couldn't afford a pretty ring for his bride-to-be. That gave Jacqueline an idea. She said, "Here, Freddie, take this one," and handed him her own. "It's just as good as new and you can have the initials crossed out."
And so, now, Mrs. Freddie wears Mr. Gillespie's (Continued on page 98)
