WILL WE'D AN ENGLISH LORD

So much has been SAID of late regard
ing marriages between eastern heiresses
and more or less impecunious L uropea n s
of title that the forthcoming union of a
fair western girl with an English noble
man has aim ost been overlooked, except
for brief dispatch in the Chicago Chron-
icle the other day. The bride. to be is
Miss Won Marter of Tacoma, WASH, who
is to marry Lord Bennett, heir to the
earldom of Tankervile and an estate of
enormous wealth. The family to which
he Is soon to be related. while cultured
and refined. is not prominent one and
cannot boast of ordinary riches, SO de ar
to the heart of the titled wife hunter.
Further than this, the Disparity of their
ages makes 1t a surprising fact that when
the not very youthful lord became engage
ed to Miss Van Marter she must have
been but slip of girl, as she is now
barely past the verge Of womanhood ana
he has waited for his choice to attain
her majority before coming to ciaim her.
His lordship is 43 years of age. He is a
plain, EaglIsh- looking chap, with shoit-
cropped side whisKers;ls tall and angular,
and shows the national penchant for
tweed suitines and heavy walking sticks:
walks awkwardly, with a typical English
swing. and is reported to have perfect
horror for notoriety. His past has been
closely allied with the Church of Eng.

land, and those best fitted to explain
matters seem scarcely able to explain the
fact that this staid and stiff-necked noble
man has 50 far forgotten himself as to
think OF loving anyth ng. and partcu-
larly Miss Nobody from Nowhere. Lord
Bennett has been and is now one of the
leaders in the sum work OF London by
the Church of En- land. 1t was while in .
terested in this work that his acquaint-
ance is said to have ripened into closer
feeling. Miss Van Marter at that time
was IN London, under the wing of one of
London's s matronly society ladies. Miss
Van Marter became much interested in
the same slum work before the season
had expired.
The earl of Tankervile. father of the
visiting lord, is IS years of age, and the
present family dates back, according to
the peerage, TO 1909. The estate of which
Lord Bennett will be sole master at the
death of his father is of enormous valus
and com prises some of the choicest and
most beautiful spots in England. No
date has been announced for the mar.
riage, but it will probably be a quiet
home affair here. Lord Bennett is at
present ir Tacoma. where his manner
has made favorable impression
