\ SINGULAR CAREER ENDED.-One of
the strangest careers of modern times
has just terminated in the death of La
dy Peterborough at Damascus. Forty
years ago she was one of the most noted
women in Europe, and her residence in
the East has long been a sort of scan
dalous romance. The daughter of the
late Admiral Sir Henry Digby, beauti-
full, witty and rich, she married in 1924
the Earl of Peterborough, who was af-
terward governor general of India. and
who at that time was one of the most
brilliant men of the day. She was about
seventeen years of age at the time of her
marriage, and Peterborough, who was
widower, was thirty-four. They lived
together some six years, and her disso-
lutte conduct was a cause of scandal for
some time previous to the catastrophe
of her elopement with Prince Felin
Schwarzenberg, a celebrated roue, then
Austrian Minister in London. The
event caused an immense sesuation in
the world of aristocracy and fashion.
Peterborough procured divorce from
Parliament and never married again
but his runaway wife soon separated
from Schwarzenberg, and in 1882 mar
ried Baron Kenningen, a Bavarian.
firing of him presently, and with her
great wealth and personal destinations
having little difficulty in procuring di-
vorces under the easy laws of Germany,
she was married in succession to five
other individuals but as none of these
unions met her expectations, they were
all dissolved after short duration. In
1S43 she was living in Athens with her
eighth husband. a Greek colonel, Count
Theoboki but without waiting to be-
come widow she had this marriage also
dissolved, and set out for the Levant
During journey from Beyrout to Da-
mascus she found a new affinity in the
person OF an Arab camel driver known
as Sheikh Abdul, whom she married af-
ter the Arab fashion, and who was the
ninth and last of her conjugal partners
For whole year she accompanied him
on his journeys between Beyrout snd
Babylon, faithfully fulfilling all the du-
ties of a camel drivers wife, even to
milking the camels. firing of this no.
madic life, she built for herself charm
ing palace in Damascus, where she has
since lived in her own style, great OBJ
ject of curiosity to all European travel
ers. Abdul, continuing in business as
a camel driver, was always Hospitality
entertained by her whenever he came to
the place. And now she is dead, hay
ing completed nearly three score and
ten years, leaving a colossal fortune to
her relatives of the Digby family in
England, and memory of warning and
of shame.
