DIVORCE NOT TO
End DACTMTES
OF M'cORMICkS
Both Plan to Continue Supporttto
Art and Civic Enterprises
As In Past
Especial TO The Argus.)

\
Chicago, Jan. 2. - The divorce
granted Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick. daughter of John ID. Rookie
feller, from Harold F. Mccormick,
president of the International Har-
vester company, did not surprise
relatives and friends of the couple.
1t had been known for long time
that the daughter of the Standard
Oil king and her husband were es-
tranged and the divorce action had
been rumored for some weeks. The
brief and straightforward manner
employed in obtaining the decree
before Judge Charles A. Mcdonald
deprived the gossip lovers of SEN
sations they had BEEN led to- believe
might crop out when the case was
finally heard. The only testimony
given was uEed to prove Mrs. NC
Cormick's charge of deSertDn-
that Mccormick left her in Zurich,
Switzerland, May 81 1918.
During the proceedings there
was no mention of alimony or oil
settlement of property rights, al
though the suit, by its very nature,
involved questions affecting two of
the greatest fortunes in America
After the court had adjourned the
lawyers declared that no legal set
tlement had been made.
1t is understood, however, that
both Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick are
to retain possession of all property
held in their own names. Arrange
ments are to be made later as to
the disposal of property in which
both have an undivided interest.
Mrs. Mccormick Retains Home.
Mrs. Mccormick, it is declared,
will retain the Mccormick residence
at 1000 Lake Shore drive, while her
husband will continue to reside m
the country home in Lake Forest,
one of the show places of the coun-
try.
Civic and artistic enterprises
which owe their principal support
and in many cases their very exist
ence to the munificence of the Nc
Cormicks are not to suffer by rea-
son of the divorce. Principal among
these is the Chicago grand opera.
The relations between the McCor-
micks and the opera had already
been arranged.
1t had been announced that with
guarantors of the opera. on which
they have spent something like $5,-
100000 Both will continue, how
ever. to support the opera with
large contributions to the general
guarantee fund, and it is reported
that they intend to give to it S3,-
900 600 of scenery and stage effects
which is their property.
Wedding 4 Noted Affair.
The McCormicks were married
on Nov. 26. 1895, in the Fifth Ave
nue. Baptist church in New York
city. Mr.. Mccormick was about %
years old at the time and his wife
was about the same age.
The wedding attracted widespread
attention at the time as the union
of two great fortunes.
The McCOrmickS came to Chicago
to live. Both took a great interest
in the civic and artistic activities
of the city and were among the

place. Rumors of it had preceded
them when they. FINALLY returned
to the United States last fall. They
came on different steamships.
Finally when they arrived in Chi
cago early in October Mr.. McCor-
mick answered the various rumors
by making a formal statement that
he and his wife had separated. Mr..
Mccormick was accompanied on his
return to Chicago by his SON Har-
old Fowler Mccormick. Muriel Me-
Cormick, the eldest daughter, has
also thrown her lot with the father.
