No one ever looks at Ed Stokes

Mrs. Leslie Carter nearly to death
De Wolf Hopper and Nat Goodwin
are more renowned as divorces
than actore. Frank Ehret cannot
keep his hands off an actress to save
his life. Only George Gou!d's vast
wealth prevents his being spoken of
as the husband of Edith Kingdom
Women make the man oftener
than worth; more often than she
makes the fellow. Herman Oalrichs
is deservedly popular young man,
and it must sting him to go through
life as 'the man who married Miss
Fair" Orme Wilson is the "hus-
band of Carrie Astor" and is satisfied
to be that. Ham Twombley is son
in law Of cid Vanderbilt" and is also
satisfied. Seward Webb ditto. Bob

for and guided the destinies of the
senator when he presided over the
republican national convention at
st. Louis in 1896. Sitting on the
platform Immediately behind him
and partly concealed from the view
of the vast audience, her keen eyes
