Calloused Reno Awaiting ***** ***** Dime Store Princess And ***** ***** Her Divorce With Interest RENO. Nevada. March 28. UFb In contrast to its usual unconcern about the comings and goings of an ever-changing divorce popula tion, Reno is awaiting the expect ed arrival of Princess Barbara Hutton Mdlvani with no little amount of curiosity. Permanent residents did not lift an eye-brow when the former Josephine tFlfl) Wldener of Phila delphia, later called “Reno’s wealth iest divorcee.’* slipped quietly Into a hotel here late one night In 1932 to establish residence for her di vorce from Milton W. Holden. The Princess Nadedja Dorozynski, daughter of the late Prince Miguel of Portugal, created no stir at all in Reno—for her secret divorce i complaint had been filed and the case tried almost before anyone ; even knew she had been living quietly here for many weeks. In 1933 Elliott Rosevelt, and in 1934 Anna Roosevelt Dali, second son and only daughter, respective ly, of President Roosevelt, made their way about Reno streets re cognized by only a few of the passers-by. Their divorce tnala. conducted privately at Mlnden, Nevada, caused little excitement. However, the short-lived romance of Princess Barbara, as one of the , world's wealthiest young women and her polo-playing husband. Prince Alexis, has stirred the ima ginations of even calloused “old timers". People wonder whether the prin cess will spend a sizeable portion of her $40,000,000 fortune here, where she will make her home during her six-weeks stay, and speculate a« to which of the city s 150 lawyers will get the case. It is generally agreed that if the old rule -ability to pay—applies Princess Barbaras attorney fee will be a high one. A few fees in excess of $50 000 and several of $25,000 or more are JWIWIt J :Eu££ilU[ rWjRfirl Mmi\ zzzzzzzz^ Eat a bowl of de licious Kellogg's Rice Krispies at bedtime.
