Milestones

Born. To Capt. and Mrs. Ernest Ingram (who are estranged), a daughter; in Manhattan. Mrs. Ingram is the widow of Enrico Caruso, the mother of his daughter, Gloria.

Engaged. Lieut. John Harding, peri-globular aeronaut, to Miss Ida Reussenzehn, clerk in the U. S. Air Service in Dayton.

Engaged. Nita Naldi, Irish cinema vampire, to Giacimel Sanges, President of the Cleveland Trust Co. and famed duelist. They plan to be married in the Naples villa of Rodolfo Guglielmi (stage name Rudolph Valentino). Sanges is said to have won his reputation as a duelist in a fight with a brother of Mussolini following a quarrel in a cafe over the mention of a woman's name.

Engaged. Seymour Parker Gilbert, newly-appointed Agent General of Reparations (TIME, Sept. 15, INTERNATIONAL), to Miss Louise Todd of Louisville.

Married. Paul Codman Cabot, 25, of Boston, to Miss Virginia Converse. In the wedding party were four other Cabots, one Lowell. Married. William Sydney Felton, 30, Boston lawyer, to Tosia Szcy-choviez, "beautiful Polish girl and shoe factory worker"; in Salem, Mass. Joseph Szcychoviez, "grizzled father of the bride," was alleged to have said to newspapermen: "I go to see such a wedding? I, of princely blood in Poland, turn up there to be patronized by the newly rich and betray my blood and breeding? Never!" He disapproved, "does not care for Mr. Felton." Married. Sir Basil Zaharoff, 74, "man of mystery of Europe," whose great wealth has armed armies, financed nations, shaped policies, to the Duchess of Marchena, relative of the Kings of Spain; at Chateau de Balincourt, near Paris. Divorced. Mrs. Gene Gowen from Albert I. Gowen; in Chicago. The charge was neglect. Two years ago, the Gowens honeymooned in their 98-ft. yacht, Speejacks, crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, weathered a China Sea monsoon, slipped through the teeth of reefs, limped back to Manhattan while the world gasped at a young couple that could endure such storms, such hazards. Died. Laura Opper, painter of portraits and benefactor of painters; in Manhattan. Her work has been hung in numerous galleries abroad and in the U. S. In 1893, she established one of the first "neighborhood houses"--in Allen Street, Manhattan. Died. Dutch Louie, 26, famed yegg, gunman; in Cherry Hill, Manhattan. His shooting recalled that of his alleged brother, Charles ("Potatoes") Casazza, in the saloon of Louis Poggi, known as "Louis the Lump," and the killing of "Kid Twist" and his lieutenant by Poggi at Coney Island twelve years ago.

Died. Frank Chance, 47, Bayard of the baseball diamond; in Los Angeles. As a player, he batted .327, stole 404 bases; as a manager, his tact and magnetism won him a sobriquet from the press: "The Peerless Leader." Four times he led the Chicago Cubs to victory in the National League; twice won the World's Series. Later, he managed none too successfully the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox. Last spring, he was scheduled to manage the Chicago White Sox, but retired because of illness, leaving the task to his faithful lieutenant, Johnny Evers.

Died. Robert Jackson Gamble, 73, former U. S. Senator from South Dakota, at Sioux Falls.
