When he-.came inst Fall it was with a striking., wife. 'who, he admitted when pressed, he'he liavert was the vivacious Alma Gluek, rfcose operatic debut in New York sev eral seasons ago was so sensaiioiiunj vjccessful. The two women do bear a j-ijmarkable resemblance.

JThe bubble grew and grew; she met her mother-in-law as Alma Gluck and select few friends. Evan tne news papers learned, but were unable to con rtrm. ,'. But the bubble burst, as all. good iiubbles do. The certain theatrical man . Jiurried to Portland a few days ago Just a few hours in advance of the real iMma Gluck. and advised his friends ajid others that he had learned his wire was not the real Alma Gluck. but in stead just the girl he supposed she ra. a verv talented musician and finger, true enough, but also an arch practical Joker. i'Beal Alma Ulni-k I. earn!.

There is no tragedy linked "with the feigning of the fancirul Alma oiuck. She toyed with the imagination of a believing husband until too late to ,'ithdraw gracefully, and allowed him to learn for himself. The real Mine. ?lut-k sees in it a most enjoyable wank, and Zimbalist. who of course lels an interest in the story, marvels t the American daring. , Mm. Gluck. therefore, who appears tonight at the Heilisj in joint recital with Zimbalist. is the real Aima Gluck. .She is the beauteous lass. who. born in Koum&nia. came, at the age of 3. to the United States. She is so young Mhe can barely remember when Cleve land served a second term, which means she is basking in that delightful in terim between 25 and 28. Zimbalist Is as young as she. At II he was summoned before the kings and queens at the Knglish court and a great as semblage of loyalty there- was. too. Tlie Dowaser Km press Marie, of Rus sia, was visiting her sister, the Queen mother Alexandra of England, at the time. Zimbalist played and the Dow ager Kmpress forgot her regal .Ifecorum, and. pinching the youth on th cheek, told him some day to make a wish and let her grant It.. -Military fluty Lifted. "One day the opportunity came. My work called me away from my coun try and 1 asked to be relieved of mil itary duty." explained Zibmaltst at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday. "The Qaeen Mother herself carried my re adiest to the t'zar. and it was granted." that is why I am nut uoiv In the. vrar I. suppose.

She arrived slmosl before she started Her educa tion had been in the common and nor mal schools of New York State, and yet in a night she rose to front rank in grand opera a notable example of the very lew w ho gain su( h place without Kuropean training. She is. then, the truly American opera star. -. "But do you know I am 'a woman without a country." half sighed the comely diva. "I had always supposed 1 was an American, but my marriage to Zimbalist. a Russian, makes me a Rus sian, "too. in the eyes of tlu- iueer old law in America. lu. Russia, however, I am not a Russian. They cannot, ac eot me because our marriage was an Knsllsh civil ceremony. But some day Zimbalist no doubt will be an American citizen, he likes the country o, ; and then i shall reclaim my-ciiiienahip." Duo Trapped la War Zone.

That is the plain English of it." This was the stinging rebuke deliv ered by Circuit Judge McGinn in decid ing the suit of Frank C. McNurlen against the T. B. Potter Realty Com pany, who had sold McNurlen a lot ir. Bayocean. Park on alleged false repre sentations. The Judge awarded McNur len the full amount he had paid, ex penses incurred in looking over the lot after he had paid for it, and told the engineer's attorney that had he asked for $250 exemplary damages he. would have granted it. - Paving Declared Flimsy. According to the allegations in the complaint McNurlen purchased the lot with the understanding that it was in the center of the growing business sec tion of Bayocean, that it was close to a new dock, and that the streets were paved on all sides. When he looked, at the lot he found it situated in a stretch of sand dunes and brush, far from the nearest habitation, and almost inacces sible. He sued for ?525 and for JbO ex penses incurred in jjoing to look over the lot. Especial significance is attached to Judge McGinn's decision- in view of the fact that a petition for receiver ship in the T. B. .potter Keaity uom pany. formerly the Potter-Chapin Realty Company, is now pending in Circuit Judge Gatens' court, and is scheduled for hearing this week. Numerous purchasers of lots In Bay ocean Park have joined together in asking for a receiver for the company. S. B. Vincent, of the State Corpora tion repartment, was called to the stand yesterday and testified that the pavement- laid in some parts - of Bay ocean was' of the flimsiest Bort and would not stand heavy traffic. The contracts for lots called for '28 miles of pavement, whereas only three and one-half miles had been laid, he said. Full Amount Allowed. In deciding the case, Judge McGinn oaidr- "Photographs and pictures of Bay ocean were turned over to this boy for one purpose, and that was to catch the unwary, those who were not pofjted, those who were not informed. It was done to- fool him. . It was done to catch him. "The testimony of the last witness on the stand was enough, and nothing else is needed to show the character of this transaction from beginning to end. This boy was a . long way from the property and he had a right to rely upon the representations of those who had peculiar knowledge of it. They fooled him and they fooled him to the top of his bent. He is entitled to every dollar he sues for, and the return of the expenses he incurred in going to view the property at Bayocean. He is entitled to it all."
