With detachable crotch I'm Going to Marry Ty Power (Continued from page 36) been married in the Church.” Linda’s voice was very low as she said, “Yes, I want a white wedding gown, a veil, the bridal flowers and the Church ceremony because — when I marry, it will be for always.” t I looked closely at this girl who had :> supplanted blonde Lana Turner in Ty’s f affections, thereby furnishing gossip headlines in America, Europe and Mexico. * What she had said sounded as wide ; eyed and naive as would a sub-deb dis-' ■' cussing the first romance in her life. Yet I knew better, and she knew I knew better. Many men have been in love with Linda. Before she met Ty, her name was torridly linked with Turhan Bey’s, and an almost alphabetical list of Hollywood escorts plus a certain “very important” man who is said to have lavished magnificent jewels upon her. The romantic legends of Linda are no secret from the press. 1 FOUND myself puzzled over the difference between what I had heard about her and what she turned out to be when she walked into my living room. Just at first she did not seem to be the great beauty I expected. Her hair, once red, was a pretty natural brown. There was practically no make-up around her clear green eyes as cool' as ice water. Her dress was simple. She wore a bright red and green checked affair made in the new full skirt. Around her neck was a round, gold disk set with a fascinating dark green stone. Her gold bracelets were set with small diamonds — but not flashily. Was this the girl whose jewels were almost too valuaWe to be worn? On the other hand, if this was an “act” she needn’t have worn jewelry at all. If she were a mind reader she couldn’t have followed my train of thought more perfectly. Almost before I knew what was happening she was talking freely about that “very important man” whose name has been linked with hers. Linda even called the certain high official in Mexico by name — which is more than I intend to do. “So we can understand each other, let me tell you about him,” she said .with a directness that convinced me she is the interviewer’s delight. “This man has been a friend of my family’s since we returned to Mexico from Hollywood several years ago. We had trouble with our passports because, although Mother and I were both born in Mexico, my father is Dutch and Mother lost her citizenship when she married him. Incidentally, my real name is Blanca Rosa Melter, if you are interested. “It made things very complicated for Mother and me — being born in Mexico and still not citizens of our native country. There was a great deal of red tape to be ironed out. So my parents invited this official — they had known him for a long time — to our home. “You think people gossip and chatter like magpies only in Hollywood?” Linda rolled her green eyes heavenward and spread her hands in a gesture typically Latin. “What chitter-chattering went on among the neighbors when two big official cars drove up to our door and this man got out! When he arrived again a few days later and then became a regular visitor, I could hear the whispers: ‘It’s that actress he is coming to see’ — chitterchatter, chitterchatter! “I tell you the truth when I say this man has no thought for me other than the friendship he feels for my family — my I lO:
