Married. (Louis) Richard Gimbel, of the third generation of Gimbel store-owners, to Miss Julia de Fernex Millhiser, in the Ritz-Carlton, Manhattan.

Divorced. Ralph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, eldest son of the late Joseph Pulitzer, by Frederica Vanderbilt Webb Pulitzer, great granddaughter of the first Cornelius Vanderbilt; in Paris, on grounds of desertion. This was the first divorce to be granted under the new ruling that a divorce will be granted to an American in France only if it could have been obtained in the State in which the marriage was contracted. Mr. and Mrs. Pulitzer were married in Vermont, 1905.

Divorced. Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of wireless, by Signora Marconi (Beatrice O'Brien). It was announced (TIME, April 7) that a divorce was impossible as the petition had been entered after the City of Fiume came under Italian sovereignty. It now seems that the plea "just got in under the wire" and was granted. Signora Marconi has already married the Marquis Marignoli. The inventor, aged 50, was reported to be about to marry Donna Paola Medici de Vascello, a famed society beauty, aged 20.

Died. Charles Henry Dietrich, 71, onetime Governor of Nebraska and U. S. Senator; of apoplexy, at Hastings.

Died. Marcus Aurelius Smith, 72, onetime U. S. Senator from Arizona; at Washington.

Died. Luigi Curci, painter, 39, onetime husband of Amelita Galli-Curci, who divorced him in 1920; at Rome. Friends said his grief at being divorced (for cruelty and infidelity) had shattered his health. "Naturally the divorce was a great shock for Signor Curci; he could not seem to forget his great love for the woman who had been his wife." (Mme. Galli-Curci in January, 1921, married Homer Samuels, her one-time accompanist.)

Died. Prince Roland Buonaparte, grandnephew of the first Napoleon. Napoleon's brother, Lucien, was forever cut off from the line of imperial succession because he married his mistress. Lucien's first son became a scientist and had a son who became a cardinal. Lucien's second son became a scientist. Lucien's third son became a soldier of fortune, married his mistress, had a son, Roland (who died last week). Roland married Marie Blanc, daughter of the proprietor of the Monte Carlo Casino. She died. He was left with a great fortune which he, himself a scientist, devoted to science. He was also left with a daughter who married Prince George, younger brother of the late King Constantine of Greece. Prince Roland, republican, avoided politics.
