         2 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein said horizontal poles connect to said vertical poles via second connectors, wherein each of said second connectors comprises a tapered section. 
     
     
         3 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector further comprises a flat surface contacting the vertical pole. 
     
     
         4 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein each of said base legs comprises free ends contacting the ground. 
     
     
         5 . The portable room divider of  claim 4 , wherein each of the free ends comprises a cap-like structure for preventing damage to the ground. 
     
     
         6 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein each of said vertical poles comprises a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole, wherein the first vertical pole connects to the second vertical pole in a snap fit or button release mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein each of said horizontal poles comprises a first horizontal pole and a second horizontal pole, wherein the first horizontal pole comprises a female connector and the second horizontal pole comprises a male connector, and wherein the male connector connects to the female connector to mount the second horizontal pole and the first horizontal pole. 
     
     
         8 . The portable room divider of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric presents a non-see-through material to obscure the view from one side to another. 
     
     
         9 . A portable room divider, comprising:
 a center leg and a side leg placed apart from one another, wherein each of said center legs and said side legs comprise a vertical pole receiving opening;   vertical poles, each of said vertical poles connect said center leg and said side leg;   horizontal poles connecting said vertical poles at the top and bottom via connectors, wherein each of said connectors comprise a tapered portion and a flat surface, and wherein said vertical poles contact the flat surface of said connectors and horizontal poles contact the tapered portion; and   a fabric connecting said horizontal poles, wherein said center leg, said side leg, said vertical poles, said horizontal poles and said fabric provide a freestanding structure to partition an enclosed space.   
     
     
         10 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein said center leg comprises an H-shaped frame. 
     
     
         11 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein said center leg comprises an elongated frame. 
     
     
         12 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein said side leg comprises an elongated frame. 
     
     
         13 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein said side leg comprises an elongated frame, wherein the elongated frame is substantially perpendicular to said center leg. 
     
     
         14 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein the fabric presents a non-see-through material to obscure the view from one side to another. 
     
     
         15 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein each of said vertical poles comprise a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole, wherein the first vertical pole connects to the second vertical pole in a snap fit or button release mechanism. 
     
     
         16 . The portable room divider of  claim 9 , wherein each of said horizontal poles comprise a first horizontal pole and a second horizontal pole, wherein the first horizontal pole comprises a female connector and the second horizontal pole comprises a male connector, and wherein the male connector connects to the female connector to mount the second horizontal pole and the first horizontal pole. 
     
     
         17 . A method of providing a portable room divider for partitioning an enclosed space, said method comprising:
 placing legs apart from one another, each of said legs comprising a vertical pole receiving opening;   providing vertical poles, each of said vertical poles connecting each of said legs at said vertical pole receiving opening via a first connector, said first connector comprising a first tapered section entering said vertical pole receiving opening and connecting said vertical pole to said leg;   providing horizontal poles connecting said vertical poles at the top and bottom, said horizontal poles receiving a fabric; and   providing a freestanding structure for partitioning an enclosed space using said legs, said vertical poles, said horizontal poles and said fabric.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising connecting said horizontal poles and said vertical poles using second connectors, each of said second connectors comprising a tapered section. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising configuring the vertical poles into a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole, the first vertical pole connecting the second vertical pole in a snap fit or button release mechanism. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising providing each of the legs as an elongated frame.
