vile, Indiana
MISS LUCY BANNING
ELOPED FOUR TIMES

II a woman really loved her FIRST
husband or rather if it was the general
opinion that she did-in the days OF
our grandmothers, and married again,
no matter how young widow she
might bet was cause for biting
criticism. For our grandfolk argued
that love came only once in life
time. Strangely enough, they did not
apply this logic to man.
Not so today.
The champion marrying woman OF
America, who died last month at
Evansville, Ind, bears this out. She
was Mrs. Polly Anne Wood Strodes.
Lillian Russell was a novice along
side her, for Mrs. Strodes had thirteen
husbands, and was preparing to marry
No. IA as soon as she had gained a
legal separation from Harrison
Strodes.
Not all the women who have found
it necessary to have more than one
husband in a lifetime are stage stars
many are from private life. and con
sequently escape the publicity that
comes with the many marriages OF
their professional sisters.
