last night at the fremont Hotel.

parents and brother and sister persisted.

BETTINA GIRARD TO MARRY AGAIN.
As stated 10 yesterdays Gazette, Bet.
tina Girard, daughter of Gen. Albert
Ordway, is about to make her sixth
venture into matrimouy. Her next
husband, should present plans not fail,
will be Frank Turner, well known in
vaudeville circles. Mr.. Turner is now
on his way to England, where he will
remain for about seven weeks. The
wedding ceremony will take place fun
mediately after his return.
Bettina Girard has had a remarkable
career. She was resred in Washing
ton, where she was always favorite 10
society, as much because of her own
charm and brilliancy as because OF her
fathers position and standing. When
a young girl she married Arthur Padel.
ford, a millionaire, OF Baltimore.
Mrs. Padelford set rapid pace, and
open scandal followed when young
man drank champagne from her slip
per at private dinner. Divorce fol.
lowed and the young woman went on
the stage! where she made an immedi-
ate success. Later she married John J.
Rafael, who was singing in the same
company with her. Another divorce
soon came, and Bettina then linked her
fate with that of Harrison J. Wolfe.
Still another divorce permitted the
young woman to became the wife OF
William G. Beach. Again recourse to
tbs divorce courts made it possible for
Bettins to make Philip Schuyler happy.
With her fifth husband the one-time
society favorte went a pace in New
York that on several occasions necessi-
tated her removal to hospital. About
one year ago she got divorce from
Schuyler aud decided to live a more
quiet life. Since then she he's achieved
something of her old-time success.
