HIGH LIFE IN MAYFAIR

REVELATIONS IN COURT SUIT FOR SEPARATION ORDER (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, May 12. (Received May 12, at 11,30 p.m.) The dismissal of Mrs Anne Mitchell’s summons for a sepation order on the grounds of cruelty and desertion throws, light on a certain type of Mayfair life. One of her witnesses, Peter Jenkins, was sentenced for a West End jewellery robbery. Her husband, Paul, admitted to the Daily Mail that he married for money, though he was infatuated by a film actress, Mary Carlisle, to whom he proposed by transatlantic telephone the night before he married Anne. The latter inherited £15,000, payable on her wedding day, of which she gave him £ISOO. He went abroad, and is now living penniless with his mother, after dissipating £30,000 he made on the Stock Exchange. He is under probation in connection with a sharepushing sentence. Anne, who is 22 years of age, said that high life in the West End after a convent education turned her head. She and Paul agreed to marry in order to raise money. She took off his wedding ring immediately after leaving the registry office.

Anne’s father said he saw Paul only once, and told him what he thought of him.
