session OF the convention.

words. "The members cannot, am

Mrs. Mccormick rose hastily with
an objection that was ruled out of or

The convention was closed, only
to reopen at 1870 o'clock with the
Mccormick forces lined up for action.

Croker married him. but divorced him in
less than a year.
The loser won. She came as consolation
prize to Harry Gillig After few years
she divorced Harry Gillig and welded
Jackson Gouraud, youth who had written
a popular song. She and Gouraud were
known in the playhouses as "The Two
Masks" because they attended all first
nights, and no one knew whether Bhey
liked the plays or not. Their faces told no
tales. Their yisages never moved
muscle.
Two years ago Mrs. Gouraud lost her
first aid in devising strange entertain
ments. Gouraud had helped her plan
ball for OdeLte Valery, the dancer, when
snakes were worn as ornaments, and some
of the guests carried home wrigglng live
serpents as souvenirs OF the strange occa
sion the strangest ever given at Martin s.
famed for curious entertainments. Gouraud
who had looked more and more bored
every time he appeared in public died soon
after the ball for the dancer
Mrs. Gouraud lived in brief, compare
tive retirement until the advent of Edmond
De Max, the temperamental actor who was
painted in a blue silk robe lying before his
mirror, and who accepted as his right the
title of The Most Beautiful Man in Paris"
The actor accompanied Mrs Gouraud TO
this country last Winter and was her
escort to the theatre, and even went for
walks with her white terriers, Babbette
and Cherub. But De Max vanished from
the horizon.

The Much-Married American Millionairess Will
Now Try Her Luck with Russian "Prince."

Princess EistOroff was the fashion. Into
her portraits she painted all the zeal OF
living that the stters lacked. She painted
them live, joyous, eternally youthful. To
her studio came her countrymen of all
ranks. In Paris friendships are quickly
made The Princess painter became Mrs.
Gourauds best friend. AT her studio the
whimsical widow met Prince Alexander
Miskinoff. He became one of her whims.
For two months he was ever at her
elbow in the cafes and studios of Paris.
He dined every day in her charming home.
He admired her starving Buddha, all her
Buddhas, on the Oriental floor of her
home. And Mrs. Gouraud is a Buddhist
She has been one ever since the honey
moon-the Gillig one-of which the larger
part was spent in India
Whims pass, and Prince Alexander
Mskinoff might have passed with all her
preceding whims had he not been Rus
sian.
81 must run over to the United States
for month";. she said. Business con-
nected with my properties there calls me.
I've enjoyed knowing you in Paris. Per-
haps we will meet again.
Her hand was cool; her eyes cold. Prince
Mskinoff was puzzled. She was so un-
Russian.
1T is high time started on my tour of
the world" he said. Il will go as, far as
New York on your steamship. May I?'
Yes" said the whimsical widow. But
never expected to see him again, and |
was amazed when he saluted me on deck.
The Prince tarred in New York while
Mrs Gouraud arranged her business When
the business was completed and she sailed
back to France he sailed with her, and
with her foster daughter, Yvonne, who had
ACCOMPANIED her here.
Before going aboard. she said to a
friend: Yes, we are engaged. Next month
We will go to Cairo to visit my daughter.
In March ! shall return to Paris to ar
range for the wedding. The Russians are
adorable. They remind one of Americans
They are 50 natural. They are more like
Calfornians than anyone We ever meet in
Europe"
Unless Mrs. Gouraud's within Veers, she
will reside, after the marriage, for six
months of each year in Paris and six
months in ST. Petersburg. She will not
return to America for two years, and her
visits will be brief and of a business
nature.
Preceding the wedding there will be
great Oriental ball. 1t will be as original
as Mrs. Gouraud's Dance of All Nations
which startled New York. At this Mrs
Gouraud danced the tango with Genia
Agarof while that dance was still young
Dogmeena, the lggorote maiden, danced
her cannibal dance while the guests, par
ticularly the plumper ones, moved away
when she approached. Dogmeena's attire

IRIS. AMY CROCKER GOURAUD is

n IRIS. AMY CROKER GOURAUD is
W going to marry again For her
fourth and latest husband she has
picked out Russian 'prince'-he says he
is prince" Mrs. Gouraud believes he is
a real prince, and that ought to be
enough, even though the officials in the
Russian Legation smiled and confessed
that they had never heard of him.
But let that pass. Mrs. Gouraud will call
hcl self the Princess Miskinoff, and il is
well to fix this name in the reader" mind,
because Mrs. Amy Crocker-Porter-Ashe-
Gillig -Gouraud- Miskinoff will probably de-
sire 10 drop off some OF the names she has
acquired by previous marriages and insist
upon being known as the Princess.
The Princess-to-be is now grandmother
aad the Prince is twenty-siX. There is
little Of life that the Princess-tObe has not
tasted and experienced-and with his
brides ample fortune there ought to be
much fun ahead for the Prince. With a
young husband and change of scene to
Russia, Mrs. Gouraud hopes for new thrills.
Mrs. Gourauds life has been one of
adventures in bohemia.
She has had fads, fancies Illusions,
mental mirages, caprices, recoveries. In
which class, Paris, looking interestedly on,
inquiries is Prince Alexander Miskinoff?
He is not handsome, as the photograph
here reproduced proves. He is jealous, as
are all Russians. That is the fly in the
amber of the latest of Mrs. Gouraud's ro-
mances. Will she endure the Russian intol-
erance of the manners between men and
women of her caprice ruled set? 1t has
been said, indeed Mrs Gouraud herself has
said it, that no Russian understands the
Hello, Toni" 'Howdy, Mary?" style of
bohemian association of men and women
who are friends. "They don't understand
pals. They think you are in love with
man if you say Hello, Dick. to him." pen
sively remarked the whimsical widow.
But if Prince Alexander Miskinoff can
adjust himself to this Bohemian idosyn-
crazy, in which his fiancee is an adept,
for many trimming glass has been raised
to her and many song beginning Fort
She's Jolly Good Fellow" has been sung
to and at her and about her. and if Prince
Alexander can withstand the ghosts of
memories of old romances all may go well.
Can Prince Alexander Miskinoff endure
the visions of the quick as well as OF the
dead? To the Russian temperament the
procession of ghosts of the dead husbands
is not so torturing as Ghat of the living
admirers who have gone their detected
way, or who are still hopefully lingering.
De Max, the actor, who has been styled,
and who accepts the title, "The Most Beau
tiful Man in Paris" is one of the lingerers.
And there was Genia Agarioff, a beautiful
boy and the Princes own countryman. a

II II ANY parents will not allow their
WI children to play with ugly or
''' grotesque toys because they fear
tao influence upon the budding aesthetic
zcnge. Ruskin, the great English writer
upon the beautiful, wasn't allowed to have
any toys at all in his childhood. And yet
it is a fact that usually the ugly, tattered
rag doll is more favored by its little mis-
tress than the French bisque beauty.
Little boys, ii has been noticed, are not
possessed by their prettiest toys.
The London Times in an editorial that
has aroused much interest in England, dis
cusses this problem and takes up the
cudgels for the ugly toy thus:
"A style reaches perfection; thencefor-
ward 1t must decline from It's Rafael its
Tintoretto, its David. its Monet; and new
path must be chosen. The art Of doll-mak-
ing long ago reached the perfection Of

Gwyn represented Salome, after Sangers

guests were so lightly clad that they wooed
influenza and the unwelcome attentions of
Anthony Comstock.
The whimsical Mrs. Gouraud's life has
been continuous performance of romance.
The interminable series began with Prince
Alexander of SAKE Weimar, with whom she
fell in love while she was in school in
Dresden.

guished manner. Il was infatuated with
him and we were engaged until ! learned

Back went fourteen-year-old Miss Croker
and celebrated her return to San Francisco
by begging her mother to buy her Jumbo,
the biggest elephant on earth, for a pet,
and weeping bitterly for a day and night
because she was denied.
Then came Porter Ashe as comforter,
and Harry Gillig as complexion. They
were friends and rivals for the hand Of the

And there are others, very many others
who would have been delighted to marry

For there was the affair OF Senior Ernesto
Alvarez and Pierre de Barbaron.
Senior ErnestO Alvarez was a millionaire
from Buenos Ayres. The Argentine TEN
permanent is as incendiary as that of Rus

ness in accepting the flowers he sent every
day to her room, Senior Alvarez began TO
secrete gifts in the flowers. When bunch

Gouraud yaWned.
Really, that man is becoming a bore,
she said.
One morning as she sat on the lawn of
the American Hospital-for her experiences

tons-a card was brought to her.

you get rid of him?'
He got rid of him, but the next morning,
in the Bots de Boulogne, the Argentine

Mrs. Gouraud heard the news with that
languor of experience that overlies all her
vivacity.

Who should be the fourth husband OF
the whimsical widow? Paris smiled,
watched and waited.
Prince Alexander Mskinoff appeared in
her carriage on the Bots and at her side at
studio dances. He talked of trip around
the world.
He said his trunks were packed. They
must have been unpacked during his daily
dance of attendance upon the American
widow, for he wore brilliant new tie
every hour. Mrs. Gouraud likes colors.
