The name OF Mrs. John NJ. Thurston, for
merly Miss Lola Purman, having been men
toned in connection with the stage her
friends say that it can be truthfully said
that she has never been upon the profess
sional boards. For the past two years Miss
Purman has been living with her parents
in this city. Mr.. VIM. J. Purman the
father Of Mrs. Thurston, said today that
his daughter was formerly married to Wal
ter B. Tripp, a professor Of elocution in
Boston. The marriage was not a happy
one, and resulted in a separation, Miss Pur-
man securing a divorce and having her
maiden name restored. He added that Mr..
Southwick Miss Hornck now with the
Frohmans; Mr. Tripp and Mrs. Trpp, his
daughter, now Senator ThurStons bride
engaged with the Agustin DAILY company to
make tour of England but just before
leaving Mr.. Daily thought it best that hus-
band and wife should not be members of
his company, so Mr.. Tripp remained be-
Mrs. Trfpp never appeared in England ex-
cept upon one occasion, at Stratford-on-
Avon, and the atmosphere of the stage
soon d1StlluSioniZed her, SO that within two
months from the time of her leaving the
shores of America she returned to the
United States. decided upon a domestic
rather than a professional life.
Mr.. Purman said further that she was
never an Instructor in college of oratory,
as has been published, nor has she been a
kindergarten teacher in this city as was
stated at the time of her marriage to Sem
ator Thurston. Miss Purman was pupil
at a Boston college of oratory and as a
pupil she appeared in amateur perform
ances, which were the fads of the social
life of Boston.
