A great many things can happen in six years. And most of them have happened to Rosario Guerrero, Spanish dancer and famous beauty, now in New York for the first time since 1903, when her dancing was a midsummer's sensation. For one thing La Belle Guerrero, the toast of Paris, the marvel of St. Petersburg, etc., is registered at the Hotel Albany in New York as Mme. L. Paglieri and L. Paglieri is the leading man in the pantomime of “The Rose and the Dagger,” which she is to give at the American Music Hall next week. So it will be seen that the beauty who was once kidnapped by the Grand Duke Boris of Russia and who possesses a fortune in diamonds and emeralds given her by King Leopold of Belgium, has made a love match.

“I am very happy,” Guerrero confided today, eying with obvious pride the burly Mr. Paglieri, who stood by her. “But why should I share my happiness with the public? Why should I speak of marriage? It is a delicate subject.”

It was perceived that Guerrero had changed. During a former conversation six years ago it was judged a “delicate subject” to ask the dancer about the $1,000,000 worth of jewels the married King Leopold had bestowed upon her. But she thought otherwise then and not only proudly exhibited her wonderful emeralds and diamonds, but discoursed of the enamored King with the utmost frankness. She wore no jewels while speaking but she gazed at the placid Paglieri with a Cornelia expression in her lustrous eyes which said plainly, “He is my jewel.”

“You can see,” said La Guerrero, “that I have found the only happiness for a woman—Love.”
