Hank and Gloria had been separated only few weeks, officially, at least, when the former started showing a very decided interest in the blond Connie.

Everywhere that Connie went, the Marquis was sure to go. Headache To Gloria Gloria made no bones about the fact that this situauon wasn't much to her liking, but there seemed nothing she could do about it. And so la Bennett married just soon as he was legally free from Gloria.
