Wedding With Ex-Wife.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 2S.-"There's
this much to be said about marrying
the same person three times. you are
! marrying the same set of faults. You
| know exactly what you are doing.
There are no surprises.
1t is with this cheerful philosophy
that Jerome Uhl. painter and opera
singer. sailed today for Rome, where
he will marry. for the third time,
Mrs Elizabeth Norris Uhl. from whom
he has been twice divorced.
Their first marriage took place in
1908. when the bride, as the grand
daughter Of the man who sold the
locomotive works to Baldwin. direct
descendant of the man for whom Nor
ristown. Pa, was named, was leader
In philadelphia society. Eleven years
later Mrs. Uhl obtained divorce be-
cause she thought her husband paid
he did to her. In 1917 they encoun-
tered each other in Santa Barbara
and were married again. Two years
later jerome Chl went on the concert
stage. and Mrs. Uhl, deciding that II
one talent was bad two were worse,
, obtained her second divorce in Cali
fornia.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Uhl. while in
Greenwich, heard her former hus-
band sing. She congratulated him.
, and apparently decided that a man
with a voice like that might be for
given even IL he devoted quite lot
F., of time to it.
It's Positively Last Time.
This third will be positively the
| last" he declared today. Il shouldn't
| dream of marrying any one else.
/ We've always married each other, and
! divorce seems to be the worst habit
| we have After all, divorce is not such
that proves how strong couples
I love really is.
She's the most charming woman in
| the world. Mrs. Uhl. am very happy
| to know that l am going to marry
her once more. It's something of a
| been divorced from you twice is ready
, to be your wife a third time.
This third marriage should be the
! happiest of all. A first marriage is
| full Of readjustments. A second is
full Of exasperations. but the fact
that you go into third marriage
| with the same person proves that the
exasperations all obiiterated and
| you're both set for a successful life
: together.
-, Advocates MonoEamy.
People ought to go into marriage,
am convinced, with the solemn re-
solve to remain married forever. Let
| them get divorced II they will, but
let them marry each other again after
a few years separation and live
happy ever after"
Friends of the couple insist that
their difficulties were about fifty
fifty. Mrs. Uhl. wealthy in her own
right. could not see her husband
| working so hard as to neglect her.
Jerome Uhl, earning q good income,
! could not see why he should idle
! away his time in society. However.
| he refuses to censure his wife-again-
to-be.
I'm full Of temperament" he said.
F. NO doubt l am awful until l get my
F., coffee in the morning. But our ex-
! periences should teach us forbear-
ance, broadness and that sort of
! thing We will not be up in the
| clouds now, expecting the impossible.
My daughter Marion, now fifteen, has
| had a great deal to do with bringing
us together again. I want my wife.
she wants me and Marion wants US
both. Even II this were the thirtieth
! instead Of the third time, wouldn't
| that be reason enough?
"As soon as I reach Rome we shall
! be married. I'll stop only long enough
| to buy the wedding ring. What's that
I Oh, yes! A new ring every time. It
| signifies a new deal"
