Court Circular

The Count and Countess* Court Haugwitz-Reventlow decided last week to reconcile themselves to their position as members of the royal family of the press. Instead of forcing reporters to scale fences and bore peepholes for news of the royal ructions (TIME, July 4), they graciously issued a stately circular through their London solicitors, announcing that "all matters in dispute between them have been amicably settled." Items: they will file a deed of separation enabling them to be divorced in 18 months; two-year-old Son Lance will be in the charge of his mother as a child, of his father as a youth; the Countess makes no settlement on the Count.

*Franklyn Laws Mutton's "little girl," Barbara, Woolworth heiress.
