bring suit to annul her own divorce
decree, and thus set aside her formee

marry Emily Miller, Of Akron, Ohio,

offer of marriage from Baron AL

Germany. who has lived a good deal

OILS, OF her decision, was made in the
studio Of William Parker Chase. in
the Aeollan building. after reporters

of the country. train them as rapidly as
possible, and then turn them back Into
