MINNIE PALMER sNUBs A LORD.


Considerable speculation has lately
been INDUCED in, says London special,
as to the motives that led Queen Victoria's
cousin, Countess Volckman, to invite
Miss Minnie Palmer to spend last week
at the Countess mansion in Essex. 1t
has now transpired that the invitation
was really in the furtherance of match
making design, in which species of ami
able conspiracy the Countess is said to
be almost as much of an adept as her
royal cousin. 1t seems that a certain
young and susceptible peer had be-
come smitten with Miss Min
MES somewhat literally displayed
charms in "My Sweetheart" and
wanted to make her his sweetheart. He
confided his desire to Countess Volckman,
who said: eff you want to make her
your wife l will invite her TO my house
where you can see her and make love TO
your hearts content" The meeting was
successfully arranged, and everything
went on velvet until my lord made his
declaration and laid his heart, title, broad
domains, etc., at the feet of the pretty ac-
tress. Vastly to his astonishment Miss
Palmer rejected his suit, and it is said
that she actually carried her democratic
irreverence for British nobility to the
length of saying that when she married
she believed she would prefer a real man
and not a dudelet,
