Married. Harry Sayles Conover, 34, crown prince of U.S. model peddlers, plugger of "the well-scrubbed American girl"; and Candy Jones (real name: Jessie Wilcox), 22, his well-scrubbed No. 1 blonde cover girl; he for the second time, she for the first; in Hamilton, Ont.

Divorced. By Leonora Corbett, 38, glittering star of the British stage & screen constellation (Blithe Spirit, The Constant Nymph, Lady in Waiting): her first husband, John Francis Royal, 60, burly NBC vice president; after four years of marriage, no children; in Reno.

Died. Horace Pippin, 57, exporter, self-taught, a top U.S. Negro painter, whose works hang in nine major museums, many a private collection; of a stroke; in West Chester, Pa. Because a bullet wound paralyzed his right arm in World War I, Pippin had to paint his quaint, rugged primitives by supporting his right hand with his left, did it well enough to be compared favorably with famed primitive painters Douanier Rousseau and John Kane.
