Mrs. Daniel Frohman. known to the
theatrical world as Miss Margaret IL
lingaon, formerly OF Bloomington, has
been granted a decree of divorce from
her husband, Daniel Frohman. on the
ground of non-support. 1t is declared
that Miss Ellington intends to marry
Edward Bowes of Oakland. California,
and that while Margaret has been
busy getting the divorce he has been
Just as busy in fitting up a splendid
home for her in Oakland. Miss Illing-
ton. who is much younger than Froh-
man. grew tired CT the theatrical life
and yearned for the simple life. She
declared she wanted domestic ca
reer. lots OF babies. a husband who
could give her some attention. She
was treated kindly enough In many
ways by Mr.. Frohman, but he was al
ways ever busy with his plays and
business and gave her but little time.
He consented to her securing the di-
vorce, enters no objections to her
marrying Bowes, and all seems per
fectly peacable and satisfactory. She
will now live the retired and quiet life
