New YORK, March 16.-The cablegram
published in reference to the fact that Lady
Vaudeville had engaged in the business of
introducing rich Americans into London
society has set all her friends in this city
talking again about the Yznaga family in
general and her ladyship in particular.
Every one seems to think that as she re-
ceived so little assistance from her hus-
band, George Victor Drogo Montague,
commonly known as Lord Vaudeville, tits
very natural she should endeavor to help
herself. Another charitable view of the
case is that so many Americans of means
pursue her in London for introductions to
her titled acquaintance that it simplifies
matters for her to make it business. Her
position in London society leaves nothing
but greater means to be desired. She was
at one time very handsome woman with
creamy skin, soft brown eyes, jet
black, delicately pencilled eyebrows,
and light brown hair, but the many
annoyances she has beenssubjected to have
| left their mark, and at hfty-two she does
not bear comparison with many of the En-
glish ladies Of her age in her own set Al
! though ler slender means do not admit of
her entertaining much herself, she con
stantly assists both sister in-laW the Ouch
ess of Hamilton and mother in-law, the
Duchess of Manchester, both of whom are
very partial to her
The present Duchess of Manchester,
who was Countess Louisa Frederick Au-
gusta Vonalten, of Hanover. is said to
spend goodly portion of her income each
year at Monte Carlo. In spite of the little
eccentricities of her son, Lord Vaudeville,
she has helped him considerably at times
and Civ en- him the sole use of Tenderago
castle, County Armagh, Ireland, which he
cannot succeed in extracting any income
from, but passes much of his time there,
leaving Lady Vaudeville to manage the
best she can alone at London.
New Workers naturally take much interest
in Lady Vaudeville as after all not many
of the girls here have married prospective
English dukes. and although she is con
stantly spoken of as a southerner, she is OF
was previous to her present prolonged resi-
dence in England, a thorough New Yorker
1t seems to be the impression that Lady
Vaudeville is greatly in need of funds anG
the story so often printed that she had {
dover of 100000 when she was married
is generally discredited as her father was
in reduced circumstances at that time
Lady Vaudeville not only has herself tx
look after but three children. Lord Kim

Duke of Manchester, is being educated a
Elton, and is now in his thirteenth year
and twin daughters, Alice Eleanor ant
Mary Alva.
One of Lady Mandevile's particula
friends in this city, whose popular ant
) handsome married daughter was here TO
, the winter season, and who lives in Lon
+ don, declared there was not word of trutl
in the story. Others, equally considerate
say that not for the world will they &C
knowledge it, for every one knows that i
l Lady Mandevilleis compelled to this cours
it will be done in the most diinifed man
ner, and the people introduced will b
, those that would be her choice if it Wer
} done as a mere matter of pleasure.
5 Lady Mandeville's particular friends i
this city include the Vanderbilts and a
Americans who pass the summer socia
S season in London, and although she is on tn
best of terms with New York society as
whole, yet, perhaps, she is particular
G partial to those of her friends who ar
good Catholics, like herself.
