child, which had been placed by the
father with Mrs. Dreschler, in accord
ance with the decree of divorce.
Mrs. Laro after her divorce figured as
a leading attraction at bloomer restau-
rant that lived but short time on Eighth
street. She then left Oakland and went to
Oregon, and later to Sacramento, where
she became Mrs. Mclaughlin, under very
romantic circumstances
The case was called before Judge Hink-
son, and Attorney Aram of Oakland repre-
sented the father of th- little girl in the
dispute. Mrs. Laro foated into court
dressed in the height of fashion. She wore
a towering bonnet, green silk waist,
balloon style, and dainty little kid belt.
When she took the stand Judge Hinkson
recalled TO her mind some evidence re-
arding her visits to the rear door of a GER
tain saloon.
Mrs. Laro assumed one of her naive
bushes that so captivated the lobby in the
Oakland courts and said very modestly /:
II am engaged to marry Mr.. Mclaughlin,
who is the bartender there, and though
it was not wrong"
The Judge agreed with her, but Attor-
ney Aran said that the marriage and con-
sequent home for the little girl were but
pro poets, while Laro offered a tangible
home.
Judge Hinkson was about to return the
child to its mothers care for few weeks
on probation, when young man with a
coloied vest and a large pink rose in his
lapel approached her attorney and whis-
pered few words.
Your Honor" said Attorney Hart, '.if
all that is wanted is a mere home tor the
child. we'll attend to that. l will have
Mrs Laro brought in here, and she and
Mr.. Mclaughlin will ask to be married by
your Honor"
Mrs. Laro was so surprised at the sud-
den and legal proposal to wed her sweet
heart instanter that she burst into sobs,
and the Judge adjourned the proceedings
for two hours so that she might recover
her composure. TIE divorced husband
did not appreciate the situation, and lear
ing that be might be subjected to the
mortiication of seeing his ex-wife mar
ried to another as the only means of de-
priving him of his little child, he left.
After lunch the bride ami groom ap-
peared before the Judge and the ceremony
was performed. Mrs. Laro's age was
given as % and her husbands as 32
Before her marriage to Laro Mrs. Nc
Laughlin was a Miss Lulu Turner. Her
companion in the short-lived bloomer
re staurant Miss Diana Pacheco, was
found dead in a room on Eighth street
some months ago. She and her lover,
who was not acceptable to her parents,
died from pis oil wounds.
