GIRL OF 18 TAKES FOURTH HUBBY
SAYS SHE WILL

HOPPER’S RECORD:

EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 6.—She’sj
only 18 years old—she has been mar-1
ried four times and divorced three i
times—
She's now starting in on her I
fourth husband, and she vows that'
before they lay her among the daisies >
she'll set a world’s record as a mat-1
rimonial quick-change artist.
She started in life as Pauline Nix-1
cn, out in the great open space# of!
Texas where men are plentiful as I
well as chivalrous.
Pauline hardly got a square deal I
in life, at that. When she was 14 I
she had gotten enough cards from I
the bottom of the deck to make many
an older person throw the whole
hand into the discard and call for
a new deal.
To begin with, her father and
mother were at odds. Each one
wanted the sole custody of Pauline.
Once the father kidnaped her and
immured her in a convent for three
years. Then, motoring in the desert,
he ran afoul of bandits and was shot
to death. This ended the family
row, but not Pauline’s troubles.
CRAVED PLEASURE
The girl had grown up fast, amid
such fast-moving home surroundings
and at the age of 13 she became fill
ed with a craving for life—life with
its pleasures and gaieties that the
older people seemed able to take, but
that always were denied her.
So she dropped out of high school
abrutply and married a young man
named Austin P. Carlton. This at
Las Cruces, N. M., in June 1922.
The marriage went on the rocks
after nearly two years and Carlton'
left her. She was granted a divorce. |
The girl's acquaintances began to
poke fun at her.
"Married and divorced at 16—
where’ll you end up?” they taunted
her.
And that gave her the idea.
"1 boasted, in jest, that I’d break
De Wolf Hopper's marriage record,”
she says. "Then I got to thinking it
over and decided I’d go ahead and
do it.”
A VERY CANNY LASS
Now observe the canniness that
tan descend upon a girl of 16.
Twenty-four days after her first
divorce she remarried, this time a
Cisco druggist by name of Loiel B.
Stagner. Under the law she should
have waited a year after the divorce
decree. She didn’t. Consequently,
when she and Stagner tired of one
another, four months later, she
didn’t have to work hard for a di
vorce. All she did was get an an
nulment, on the ground that the
marriage was illegal in the first
place.
A couple of weeks later the girl
went to Las Cruces, N. M., with an
other boy friend, one W. B. Winzin
read to attend the wedding of a pair
of mutual friends. The friends dar
ed them to gee married too. Pauline
not being the girl to be kidded in a
that manner, they up and did it.
Somehow, this marriage wasn’t
any luckier than the othhr two. pin
ally Pauline' drifted into court again.
It was still less than a year after her
first divorce, so another automatic
annulment was in order. Again she
was free.
But not for long. Outside the
courtroom she fell in with a bosom
triend of the late lamented Winzin-
ATE TOOFAST
South Carolinian Took Black-
Draught For Indigestion, and
Says He Could Soon Eat
Anything.
Ballentine, S. C.—Mr. W. B.
Bouknight, of this place, gave the
following account of his use of
Thedford’s Black-Draught,
“Just after I married I had indi
gestion. Working out, I got in the
habit of eating fast, for which I
soon paid by having a tight, bloated
feeling after meals. This made me
very uncomfortable. I would feel
stupid and drowsy, didn’t feel like
working. I was told it was indi
gestion. Some one recommended
Black-Draught and I took it after
meals. I soon could eat anything
any time.
“I use it for colds and bilious
ness and it will knock out a cold
and carry away the bile better and
quicker than any liver medicine I
have ever found.”
Eating too fast, too much, or
faulty chewing of your food, often
causes discomfort after meals A
pinch of Black Draught, washed
down with a swallow of water, will
help to bring prompt relief. Bloat
ed sensations, eructations, bad
breath and other common symptoms
of indigestion have disappeared
after Black-Draught has been taken
fog several days. NC-IC4
