Both the Queen and the Princess have
way of gathering their information
about q foreign power from private per-
sons. and in this way they keep them
selves I'm the wonderfully sympathetic
touch which Victoria has always main
tanned.
TO Lady Mary Paget war would mean
something very serious. Lady Paget is
not a rich woman, though her position in
LCld0n is second TO none. Her hus-
band is Lieuteuant-Colonel of the Scots
Guards. and is a warrior who served
I'm the Ashantee war and in the eXpe-
di-.Ou 10 The Nile. None has a more
gallant record than Col. Paget. But he
IS not a rich man, and would doubtless
have come TO America, like his brother
Almeric Hugh Paget. Mss Whitney's
husband, had he not been placed in the
army
To Lady Nary Paget war would mean
the sending Of her husband TO fight her

the horror Of knowing that her husband
was using an his tremendous skill to
FIGHT her relatives here. Her influence
would DE almost hyStoric to prevent a
conflict, and no one knowing Lady Pa
get could doubt its potency.
Lady Terrance BlacEv1ol, wife Of the
little English diplomat who has been

some years. would strive 10 keep her
husband from w3rlike influences for a
slightly different reason. Lady Ter
enco's money is with her father, the
Wall street man, and IS secure in our
great money system. But Lady Terence
would wish to prevent war for private
reasons
For q long tine 81 has been whispered
about that Lady Terence had great
Icpes of seeing her husband sent to this
country upon a diplomatic mission. As
English Ambassador, even Her Lady
ships hopes would be fulfilled Her
influence has been turned this way. and
some day she may see all fulfilled, if
there is peace.
