Vaudeville is a real live lord, and sit
in the House of Parliament. He is eve
viscount by an elder brother havinl
died, and he will be one day a duke; s
our Miss Yznaga in few years will b
a full-fedged duchess. On the contra
~, it is very improbable that Captain
Paget, who has Just married Miss Ste
vens, will ever be any thing but simpl,
Captain Paget. He has several eide
brothers who will succeed TO his father
title before he does.
Miss Jerome, the daughter of Leonard
Jerome, married Lord Churchill, wht
also sits in Parliament, but Lore
Churchill can never be a duke like Man
deville, unless his elder brother dies Of
he earns his title like Disraeli.
The three young ladies, Miss jerome
Miss Yznsgs and Miss Stevens, who
have made brilliant matches in England
are bosom friends. They all came from
the same social set in New York, and
there is no telling what three shrewd
American women may do when let loose
in English court circles.
The story of Lord Mandeville's mar
rage TO Miss Yznaga is as follows,
The beautiful Miss Yznaga was the
daughter of Cuban living in New York
in very moderate circumstances. She
had no money and no prospect for
money. Her face was literally her for
tune. Her father lived in a modest
house down on Eleventh Street. For
years Miss Yznaga was a belle in the
Knickerbocker Club set. Her beautiful
face was always seen on the front seat
atthe Coaching Club parade, and she
often sat in James Gordon BENEFITS
drag on her way to Jerome Park to
witness the game Of polo, which Lord
Mandeyilie used to play: y
Was Miss Yznaga really beautiful?
If the reader had seen her at the
jerome Park races on the balcony of
the clubhouse, the first day of the fall
and spring races, he would not ask the
question. She was q radiant beauty.
Then she practiced those artistic ways
that cultured women have to make her
look classical. In stature she was mag
nificently tall. She was neither bru.

pearly complexion that artists delight to
paint. Her beauty was the severe type,
like the Gala lily. Her eyes were large
and lustrous, and her form when draped
in the tight-fitting princess might have
passedfer second Venus de Medici.
Still Miss Yzuaga wG5 poor, and, as
poor girls In New York seldom have
suitorS, it began to look as if she was
going to be an old maid jerome, and
Bennett, and Travers and Belmont all
worshiped Yznaga, and all felt sorry to
think that her charms might fade with
out finding a market. Thus things
stood until two years ago, when Miss
Yznaga was p years old. Not that she
looked old, but she reached the top
round of maidenhood and was soon to
pass down the other side. Her intimate
friends knew this and often wondered
to themselves what would become of
her if her beauty should fade before her
charming face could win a husband.
So say "What will become of Miss
was a question beginng to be
asked by the members of the Kuicker-
booker Club. ..-z4-...-......
just then young Vaudeville, the sec
ond son of Lord Vaudeville, the Duke
Of Manchester, appeared in New York.
He was a green-looking, red-haired
of q. Even the boys in the
street made fun of him. They Knocked
his voice and laughed at his ugly En-
glish clothes. l remember seeing him
one morning at the stables back of the
knickerbocker Club, dressed in Jockeys
lights and wearing Jockeys hat. He
was half horse and the rest dog-as
ready to ride in a hurdle-race as he was
10 hunt foxes in New Jersey. He was a
glorious fellow among the boys. That
IS he spent all the money he could get
from his father or borrow from his
friends.
Many times young Vaudeville ran en-
.irely out of money. His father had or (
1ered him home and refused to remit.
Belmont knew he was the son of the
Duke of Manchester, and, however ex-
he and Bennett lent him all
-he money he wanted. Young Mande-
vile acted so queer that several news
papers pronounced him humbug,
iraud and bogns lord. Still the Knick-
srbocker Club fellows stood by him.
Many young ladies, not up in the
made fun of the green young
too, but not so with Miss
Yznaga. She laid herself out to catch
him. Beautiful and charming talker,
she soon won the affections of Mande-
vile. The Knickerbocker Club fellows,
with Mrs. Stevens, did all they could to-
help her. They got up polo and coach
ng parties, giving Miss Yznaga the
'ront seat with young Vaudeville. They
sounded the beautiful Cuban's praises
1t every turn. When Lord Vaudeville

lis remittances, Belmont and Bennett.

amount, and he did.
So things went on for month. Miss
Iznaga was always entertaining, and he

Later in the fall, when the red leaves
