MISS STANWYCK "I LOVE YOU" TO HUSBAND
New York
Lovely Barbara Stanwyck, In fighting mood, is determined to appeal against the decision which gives her former husband, Frank Fay, the right to see their adopted son, Dion.
Judge Wilson, of the Lps Angeles' - Court, ordered that when Fay sees the child on Tuesdays and Thursdays and alternate Sundays:
He must have no liquor with him "either within or without,"
There must be no friend in the house who has been drinking; and
The child's nurse must be present, Fay told the court he was now "on the water wagon," and had been drunk only 15 times in his life.
"MY PRAYERS FOR YOU"
Judge Wilson ruled that it was nobody's business how many times Miss Stanwyck saw her friend Robert Taylor.
Two letters introduced evidenco spoke eloquently of the love Miss Stanwyck once had for Fay,

"I really must beg your pardon, Ma- You are making a mistake. It was not I who fired at you in the garden." With the exquisite politeness which had fascinated so many women, Weldmann, the Monster Slayer, said that to-night when he was confronted for the first time with "Colette the Vamp" Colette Tricot, charged as one of his ac- complices.
During four long hours of ceaseless question- ing at the office of the examining magistrate, M. Bery, both showed astonishing politeness, and courtesy in their questions and answers, which surprised the examining ́magistrate and counsel present.
HANDCUFF POLITENESS ··
The woman quietly insisted that Weldmann had fired at her, because she had discovered the book of travellers' cheques belonging to Miss Jean de Koven, the American dancer, whom Weldmann is alleged to have murdered.
Delicately throwing out his handcuffed hands, Weidmann made his equally quiet dental, and added: "How could I be so foolish as to shoot at you in the garden, Madame? If I had done so it would have attracted the attention of the neigh- bours."
