GIRL SHOOTS HERSELF

flirtation by blonde NUDIST CAMP SEQUEL NEW YORK Aug. 28. Flirtation in a nudists' camp today resulted in 19-year-old t Dawn Hope Noel, one of the prettiest blondes in Hollywood, taking exactly the same exit from the world’s stage as her mother, Adele 8100d —famed 20 years ago as the American stage’s most beautiful blonde—took in September, 1936. ' For three days Dawn and her bandleader husband, Jimmy Noel, had been drinking at the Rancho Glassey nudist camp in the hills behind Hollywood. While Noel swam and fished, his wife was having a gay time with two men and another girl they met at the camp on Monday. She left the camp for four hours, took them to her home, and gave them drinks. Then she returned to the camp to join her husband. Noel telephoned one of the ■ men who had flirted with his wife. “I just did not like the things that went on there,” he explained. He told the police to-dnv: “I could hear Dawn crying. Then I heard a noise like a toy pistol. I rushed into her room, and found her dead.” His wife’s life had been shadowed, he added, by her mother’s death. She had found her mother shot in the head in the grounds of the Westchester Country Club, New York. “During most of our married life she brooded about that death and seemed despondent,” said Noel. “She remonstrated with me for bawling out this man and for talking to him the way I did. But I refused to stop. I guess I should have stopped. “During our year of married life Dawn was always talking about her mother’s death. She would describe it in detail and demonstrate just how her mother did it.”
