After all, just what did Rita do to bring down that abuse on her pretty head?
She was indiscreet-and public figures must never bo indiscreet. But the letters from, out- raged women all over the country, which have been pouring into the office accuse her of more than an indiscretion.
Riin behaved exactly like the "good" heroines in true love stories always do. She met a man on holiday last year, fell in love with him,

"Rita Hayworth dragged that poor child of hers around with her all the way from Hollywood 10 Europe," chorus the critics.
Mr Welles, last night, had some- about that, too: "If thing to say Rita had left Rebecca in America, she would have been attacked for neglecting her child while she goes gallivanting around. I saw
