“MY HUSBAND WILL PAY”

DRIOKI.KSS I'KADI. NUCKLACES Mrs. Mortimer Davis (Miss Rosie Dolly, one of die dancers internationionally famous as the Dolly Sisters) appeared before the examining magistrate at the Palais de Justice in Paris recently. Some time ago Miss Rosie Dolly and her husband bought two magnificent pearl necklaces from two Parisian jewellers, MM. Pollack and Chaumet. Sue had the two necklaces made into one.

Payment for them not having been completed, the jewellers lodged a complaint and asked for the restitution of the necklaces. Miss Dolly handed over the remade necklace and M. Chaumet identified the whole of his pearls, but M- Pollack identified only part of his necklace, four dozen pearls being missing. He ifileges that Miss Rosie Dolly had a . bracelet made with the missing pearls. The inquiry was adjourned. Mrs. Mortimer Davis was represented by Maitre Alexandre Millerand, the exPresident of the Republic. Miss Dolly, explaining how the 48 pearls came to be missing, said she wished to have them included in a St. Andrew’s Cross which she possessed, and she told her maid to see to it. Later, when asked for the jewel, her maid said she ha-cl lost the pearls and replaced them by false ones. The examining magistrate asked Miss Dolly whether she would agree to the two necklaces being sold or whether she was willing to pay for the missing pearls, and she replied: “These two necklaces were offered me by my husband. and I am particularly fond ot them. He is a rich man and will pay.”
