riage of business convenience. That
is the explanation given today by
some of Madame Schumann-Heinke's 8
many friends here for her contem-
plated step for filing suit for divorce
from her husband in Chicago. Rapp
became the singers husband in 1905.
For some time he had been her man
ager and practically private secretary
and, 1t is said, was so familiar with
all her business affairs that she trust
ed to him in almost all matters con
nected with her tours and engage
ments. Their marriage was proposed,
It is said, by friends of the two as a
good way to continue these relations
without embarrassment, and these
friends are said to have expressed the
confidence that, II love was lacking,
II would soon grow between the
couple. For two or three years, how
ever. the diva and Rapp have not
been living together, and much OF
the time when not on tour Schumann-
Heinke has spent at her mountain
home near this city. The diva is 81
wears old. She married Mr.. Heinke
in 1882. Her second husband was
Paul schumann, a noted German
actor. who died about ten years ago.
Her devotion to her children and to
grandchlld, recently born, has
marked her life here.
