Dresden, is now acting as mistress of her fathers country seat, Crewe Hall, and is to make her actual debut next month at the county ball at Chester. She is to be presented at the first drawing room of the season.
 Besides Lady Annabel, Lord Crewe, who is a widower. has two other younger daughters, who are twins, and as his boy is dead, the three girls will in the event of their fathers not mar rying again, eventually share between them his for tune of $300,000 a year and his country seats, so that they may be l looked upon as heiresses.
 
 Another debutante of the present sea 1 son, and one who cannot fail to excite much interest for various reasons, is 1 Lady Gladys Lowther, only daughter of | the Countess de Grey, and of her first | husband, the late earl of Lonsdale, popularly known as the Red Earl | Inasmuch as the late Lord Lonsdale was separated from his wife during the greater part of his married life, pre- | ferring the society of Connie Gilchrlst, then of the Gaiety theater, and now countess Of Orkney, to that of his beau tiful wife. there was a considerable amount of gossip in connection with the birth of little Lady Gladys, and had the child been a boy instead of a girl it might have led to lawsuits with re- gard to the succession to the earldom and estates. In fact Hughie. the pres ent earl of Lonsdale, the brother of the late peer, has openly said as much.
 Lady Gladys is quite unlike her beau-' tiful mother, who is dark, and, like her brothers. the earl of Pembroke, and ''Minga" Herbert, husband of Miss Will hr0- h Gr- -iTl.l n nxEr of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., exceed ingly tall. Little Lady Gladys is in fact a pronounced blonde, and with petite and for so young a girl rather full figure.
 Unlike Lady Annabel Mines, she cannot be regarded as an heiress, or, in fact, a desirable partie, financially speaking She has inherited nothing from the late earl, and whatever she will receive either in the shape of dowry or annuity, will depend upon the generosity of her stepfather. the earl de Grey, who is childless and very rich.
 Whatever tine late earl of Lonsdale had to leave, and that did not as en- tailed property pass to his younger brother, he bequeathed to Connie Gil- christ, the actress above mentioned, who was, indeed, with him at the time of his horrible death, so horrible that it is difficult to describe it.
 His widow was left with nothing but her jointure and had it not been for this sine would probably have married Lord Annaly. who had been her most devoted admirer. She thereupon be- came engaged to Sir Edgar Vincent, who had not at that time acquired his present large fortune by oriental finan- ai In IirnnxynV.OI hot ha x.ri6 Lady Lonsdale would lose her jointure Of $25, ,000 year from the Lonsdale es- tates, in the event of her remarriage, and that moreover, she had run up debts to the tune of a quarter of d mil lion dollars, and Ee broke off the match
 Soon after she became the wife of the infinitely less good looking, but from a financial point Of view more de- sirable parti, the earl of Grey, who, on the death of his father the marquis of Ripon, will succeed to large estates and great wealth.
 The Earl de Grey, as every one knows, is probably the finest sporting shot in Great Britain, if not in Europe
 
 There is something very sad about the children of poor Lord Vernon, who died the other day They are still quite young, the daughter being 12 years of age, and the boys g and 10 re- spectiVely. Their father was an in- valid throughout the closing years of his life, suffering from the same dread malady, namely, locomoter ataxia, which carried off Lord Randolph Churchill, and their mother, a charm- ing American woman, a Miss Law renee of New York, a cousin of the daughters of Commodore Garner of New York, is under restraint with no hopes of recovery.
 hear that the children, who, thanks to their mothers fortune, will be very we'll off, are to be confided to the care and guardianship of the late Lord Yer non's only brother, the Honorable Will liam Vernon, who is likewise married to an American girl, a daughter of Gen. eral Frost of St. Louis
