Singer Buying Troussesu.
Paris, June l9-Mme. Gamma Wal
aka, by her frequent shopping visits
recently To the magazines noted for
their wedding trousseaus, has revived
conjecture In social circles of the capt.
tai as TO the date OF her reported i'm
pending marriage To Harold +. Nc
Cormick.
Since her decree from Alexander
smith Cochran. who. before their mar
riage, was "the richest bachelor In the
world" the Polish opera prima donna
has been reticent as to her plans. but
the rumors among the select few have
definitely fixed the nuptial date as late
In August.
II is believed that the couple may
take up residence here or In Switzer-
land following the marriage. until the
iear required to elapse by Illinois law
after his divorce from Mrs. Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick. daughter Of
John ID. Rockefeller. will have ended
early In 1923. Then. II is believed. the
diva will try to take her place In
Chicago's social set as a member Of
the Mccormick family.
