That Is the explanation given to
da by some of Mine Schumann
Helnk's many friends hero for her
rontoiuplatod step In filing suit for
divorce from her third husband,
William llnpp. Junior, in Chicago.
Kapp became the famous slnger'b
husband In May, 1905. Kor some
tlmo he had been her manager and
practically private secretary, and. it
Is said, was so familiar with all her
business affair that she trusted to
him in almost all matters connected
with her tours and engagements.
Their marriage was proposed. It Is
said, by friends of the two as a good
way to continue these relations with
out embarrassment, and these friends
' nre said to have expressed the confl-
i dence that, if loe was lacking, it
. would soon grow between the couple.
Kor two or three years, however, the
diva and Kapp have uot been living
together, and much of the time, when
not on tour, Sclntmnnu-llelkn has
spent at her mountain home, firosM
mont, near this city.
Schumanu-lletkn Is 52 ears of
age. She married Mr. lletku in
1SS2. Her second husband was l'aul
Schumann a noted German nctor.
who died about ten years ago. Her
demotion to her children and to a
grandchild, recently born, ha
marked her life here.
