Chinese Prime Minister Duan Qirui is toppled by a coup, as was the custom.
NY real estate developer Edward West “Daddy” Browning, 51, marries Frances “Peaches” Heenan, 15. Browning had some time before advertised looking for a 14-year-old to adopt as a companion to a boy (or girl; I’ve seen it both ways) he’d adopted as one of a pair with his first wife, who then fled to Paris with her dentist, keeping the other kid. Browning likes adopting girls, some of whom were essentially sold to him by their parents. Browning met Frances at a high school sorority dance which he’d sponsored, as one does. They married to short-circuit an action in Children’s Court brought by the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, during a one-week postponement granted because someone supposedly threw acid at Frances.
The millionaire didn’t tip the town clerk, the article reveals.
Anyways, they’ll separate, he’ll try to adopt a 16-year-old who will turn out to be in actuality 21, a legal adult ineligible for adoption. Peaches will have a vaudeville career and an affair with Milton Berle. And I haven’t even mentioned the African goose. There’s a book, because of course there is.
Headline of the Day -100:
How proud they must be of themselves.
