The engagement of Mlsa Rhoades and Mr. King waa announced last September and the date for the ceremony set for June at the close of the theatrical sea son, when all the Cohan family could witness It. But being a regular act re.is. Miss Rhoades took advantage of her temperament and gave no heed to a little thing like plans or definite ar rangements, and "sneaked off" on Jan uary C and in the Church of All Saints, In New York, was made Mrs. King. She ia one of five orphan children of a brother of Mrs. Jerry Cohan. The father's death occurred when the chil dren were young and to Mra Cohan was entrusted their care.

It Isn't only in Portland that Alice Lloyd sells things for benefits. Last week In the lobby of a hotel at Ni agara Falls, New York, Newspapers and souvenirs were being sold for the benefit of a hospital fund, and some one asked the little English comedi enne to help. So she pitched right In and "made a killing" In a few hours. But she wasn't satisfied with the prog ress she was making in the lobby, so she proceeded to the grill-room and then to the bar, and so successful were her sales that enough money was se cured to endow a permanent room to be known in the hospital as the Alice Lloyd ward. Vaudeville Is going to give Grace von Studdlford a try again. Her com pany in "The Isle of Mahomet" closed In Denver recently and the prima donna hurried to New York to secure bookings.

Miss Maanering Is now appearing In "The Garden of Allah," at tb Century Theater, under the management of Llebler ' Co, who are allied with the Messrs. Shubert. This fact has much to lo with the latter managers bring ing a suit for damages rather than asking for an injunction to restrain the actress from appearing under any other direction than theirs during the term of their contract. In 1901 Miss Mannerlng signed a contract with the Messrs. Shubert to be starred by them for three years. The complaint sets forth that In September, 111.

Already she has over $100,000 promised, since she begun agitating the subject by talking It over with many educators and people prominent on the stage. Serious work on the project Is to begin In April. Fred Stone, who was here not long ago with his partner, David Montgom ery. In "The Old Town," received a telegram yesterday in Minneapolis, where the company is playing this week, that the stork had paid the Stone family a second visit, leaving a wee baby girl. Mra Stone Is known pro fessionally as Allene Crater, and la a sister of Mrs. Rex Beach, at whose home, on West Seventieth street. New York, little Miss Stone made her de but. Lily Lena, the English songstress and comedienne, expects to return to her native country at the expiration of her contracts this season, and retire per manently from the stage. She gives as her reason the severe shock caused by the death recently of her husband and manager, and also that she wants to devote her time In looking after the schooling of her 11-year-old son. Loie Fuller, the mother superior of the sisterhood of terpslchore, who be lieves that beauty unadorned is adorned the most, Is going to find it necessary to wrap herself In garments composed for the major part of her Grecian theories, unless the cruel and heartless French authorities are will ing to raise the order of selxure which has robbed her of her modern Win ter wardrobe. It came about in this wise. Members of La Lola's Company of artists had been noticing lately that their salaries were becoming even less scant than their apparel. And while they found it comparatively easy to dispense with wearing apparel they are playing in Paris It was a vastly different matter when it came to doing without coin. All their at tempts to put money in their purses being fruitless. La Lole's associate dan cers banded together and secured an order from the French courts attach ing the property of Miss Loie instead of the arrears of their salaries. All her clothes were confiscated, with the rest of her belongings. Despite what the Duncans advocate, Paris in January is not the best place in the world in which to disport oneself clad as a nymph or a naiad and La Loie In her Spring-Song garb is quite likely to get frost-bitten. a T P writes to ask "the number of times Lillian Russell has been married and the names of her husbands." The forthcoming wedding In June of Miss Russell with Alexander P. Moore, millionaire publisher of Pittsburg, will mark Miss Russell's fourth venture Into matrimony. In 1876 she married Harry Braham. a musical director, and se cured a divorce from him in 1884. In that same year she married Edward Solomon, a composer, and ten years later divorced him. In 1849 she mar ried John Chatterton, a professional singer, known as.Slgnor Peruglni. She left him four months later and di vorced him In 1898. Miss Russell's con spicuous beauty and stage position makes her views of progressive matri mony Interesting. Here's her latest. I believe In re-marriages. If the adage "If at flrt you don't succeed, try. try again" applies to every other condition In life, why not to marriageT If we make mistakes In business or n professional matters we try agsln. and. benefiting by our first failure, succeed. I regard this as my second marriage. For my first was a disappointment and mistake. My thlru was not a marriage. My second was. so I consider It, my first and only one. Therefore, that which is called my fourth marriage will really be only my second. Second marrlsges are almost always hsp pler than the first, ho I expect mine to be. Summing up my views of re-marriages, my own and others. I say that It proves my xann in nuuMiut There are good women, so I know there , must be gooa men. uoa wuuiuu . "-"- such a one-sided world that only toe women In It ars good. .... There are not many good men. T admit, but that la because the world hasn't fur rushed the conditions for goodness for men. It Is beginning to do so. Shouldn't a woman try to find a good man Just as she should try to find the best of everything? I think the next two years will show wonderful advance In that di rection, and it will come through the votes of women. Men are mistaken when they think tnat women will vote for women. They will vote for the betterment of men. If some men have failed In their duty we ahould not Judge all men by them. It Is the large view of men and of hu manity that moves a woman to. marry again and again. It la the triumph of bope. Marriage is the natural state and all women should live In It If they have found a worthy mate. It Is better to try and try again, marry ing several times, than to remain the wife of a man between whom and you there is no sympathy. That is degradation beside which divorce Is freedom and purity. Let me add that no marriage Is happy that is based upon the broken heart of an other woman. I have never caused any woman's heart to ache, and I never will. ' George Primrose, who always gets into several columns of print raving over our climate In Oregon, and prat tling about settling down here to live the rest of his days, says now in a New York interview that he is going to found a permanent home for minstrelsy in New York City. The theater will be named "The Primrose," and James Mc Intyre and Thomas Heath will be asso ciated with the great soft-shoe dancer in the venture. Mr. Primrose says the three of them have money-sufficient of their own to take care of the enter prise, and sufficient faith in its suc cess to Invest. He contends that there are thousands of New Yorkers eager to see a good minstrel show. Philadelphia has for years boasted such a theater, and it has been vastly prosperous. Mc Intyre and Heath are to look after the comedy productions, of which bur lesques are to be a feature. Every week a burlesque on some New York play enjoying a run will be presented. Prim rose will look after the production of big spectacular dances and Southern specialties. Each season the company will tour the country, and during; Its absence the permanent home of mln-1 strelsy will be filled by the companies of Lew Dockstader, AI G. Field and George Evans In engagements extend ing from one to four weeks. Mr. Prim rose is now In vaudeville, and when his season ends, in eight weeks, he will, according to the interview," run over to Portland, Or., for a few weeks, where he has heavy real estate holdings." e Isadora Duncan, sister of the esthetic Raymond, who pranced about Portland streets all last Winter In his nightie and sandals, has rushed into print with the news that ehs Is going to fpund Y.W.C.A.

The erup tion on bis cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly better. When he was about seven months old. all trace of the ecxema was gone.

His complexion was soft and beauti ful, and his head a mass of silky curls. I bad been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies."
