The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-06-28

man mas given many evidences of his
regard for art, it is not believed by
the profession that he considers Miss
Mllllken's talents SO strong a pillar of
the Temple of Thespis that he will re-
fuse TO accept this sum for her services
However. the matter is in doubt for the
moment and that is torture for two
loving hearts
If the expected marriage takes place
it will put Miss Milliken upon terms
or intimacy and relationship with some
OF the oldest and proudest families in
New York city. Mr.. Stoddard's pater-
nal ancestors and relatives are staid
Connecticut folk. but his mother who
was Miss Mary BurIock, is connected
with some of New York's most fashion
able families. Among her cousins are:
George b. DeForest, Miss Caroline De
Forest, Duncan Elliot, the De Peysters,
the 'Livingstons, and a number of other
equally prominent Knickerbocker fam
lilies.
Miss Milliken is a charming blonde,
very accomplished and highly educat-
ed. She would be an ornament to any
society
Miss Milliken first met Mr.. Stoddard
about four years ago, but it has only
been during the past year that he has
been so devoted to her. His devotion
during this time however, has been ar
dent enough to make up for any diff
ference he may have shown to her
charms in the previous years of his ac-
quaintance.
He has manifested his jealousy in
such a violent manner as to have
caused much amusement to the per-
sons who have witnessed 1t. They have
leased Miss Millilxen so much about her
boy lover that if she were not deep
~ and devotedly attached to him she
undoubtedly would have preferred dis
pensing with his attentions.
One incident which happened last
winter showed the depth of Mr.. Stod-
dard's feeling. Miss Milliken had gone
to dine before the theater with some
very old friends of hers. She had told
Mr.. Stoddard that she would be at the
theater at certain hour and he was
standing patiently in the bitter cold at
the stage door when she drove up, ac-
companied by masculine member of
the family with whom she, had been
dining. The man helped her out of the
carriage and said Good evening" to
Mr.. Stoddard, but the latter was so en-
ragged at the thought that he had driv-
en- Miss Nilliken to the theater that he
drew himself up, pouted' and said: II
don't want to talk to you, atealL"s7

In the Empire Theatert Stock company
Carlos Stoddard was born and
brought up in the thick of Yale life,
with all its high ideals and strenuous
traditions. Walter Camp, the most IA
nous athletic adviser Yale has ever
had, has been an intimate friend Of
the Stoddard family for a great many
years, while Frank Butterworth, Yale's
most famous fullback, married upon his
graduation Miss Esther Stoddard, the
only daughter of the family.
Carlos was sent to ST PauPs school,
but left there before graduating and
went to Andover. There he studied
with a tutor, and several times tried
to enter Yale, but his weak eyes each
time prevented his passing the exam
nations.
They have not, however. prevented
him from having all the pleasures and
enjoyments which come to the youth
with unlimited money at his command
and healthy determination to enjoy
life.
