Manchester has set ON himself-to Miss
Portia Knight. the beautiful actress.
Aud Miss Portia, like her namcsakc

will be spared learning any details of her
husbands love making in his bachelor
days. Father-in-law Zimmerman ha'
again opened his check book, and with hii

$4,000 in full settlement Of all her claims
ner lawyers have advised her to accep
the offer. and. being a sensible younl
