Mr. Van Loon, author of “The Story of Mankind,” says he does not.remember the date on which he and Miss Goodrich, who at.| tained stardom in “Come Out of the Kitchen,” a few years ago, were married by Rabbi Lewh‘ Browne. “ Nor does he remember the city where the ceremony took place, although he identified it. as Miss Goodrich's native town n New Jersey. “The author indicated their union followed a three-vear couri- ship in which he and Miss Good- rich made the terms of their un- written marriage bond.

If she has none they ‘go out to dinner together; if she is occupied Mr.. Van Loon cheerfully accepts the situation with a “well, all righit.” Sum. ming up the relation. the author says, according to The American: “Here we are,’ two mature peo- ple, working at our own experi- ment.
