POLICE INTERRUPT CHELSEA PARTY

EARLY one morning recently police visited a party at the studio of Mrs. Francis Doyle-Jones, widow of noted sculptor, in Manresa-road, Chelsea, S.W., and took the names of many of the guests.

Mrs. Jones, short, red-headed, has given parties at the studio every Friday for the last three years. That night there were about 300 members of the Chelsea art colony present.

The long, low room was filled with writers, painters, sсulp- tors and models when half-a-dozen plain-clothes detectives en- tered.

They asked everybody to stay where they were while names were taken.

One of the guests said: "We were talking and laughing, and a few couples were dancing to a gramophone, when the police arrived. They took the names of most of us, and then we were allowed to go."

Another guest, a film actress, said: "This is the first time I have been to one of Mrs. Jones's parties and this has to happen." The studio is decorated with many busts modelled by Mrs. Jones's husband.

The wonderful curative properties of Maclean Brand Stomach Powder in all kinds of stomach trouble have been proved by hun- dreds of thousands of grateful sufferers.
