the women Always 1a1r. is
Lady Londonderry married when the
present Marquis VAS sin. viscount Cas-
tleraegh, this title always being used
by the heir Of the marQuisate In 1854
Lord Londonderry came into his title
of marquis. This brought TO him >
handsome town house In Park Lane,
the Fifth avenue Of London. where the
family resides during the London sea-
son. He has also i've handsome coun-
try seats. the favorite one OF which Is
Wynyard Park. Mount Steward,
County Down. Ireland, is the original
family seat.
Wynyard Park Is one Of the most
magnificent places in England. The
estate is famous for its fine horses and
cattle, some of the stock of the place
being race winners. The stables and
the paddocks connected with them are
models OF luxury. On the stable boxes
are silver plates recording the achiev-
ments of the most famous horses that
have used them.
Salter House at Wynyard Is the man
or in which lives the hired expert who
cares for the home farm, one OF those
model agricultural experiments In
which the gentlemen Of England have
mania for dabbling. The London
derry farm is a picture. So well Is it
kept that its cabbage fields are poems
and it's turnip patches dreams in aes-
thetics. The Londonderrys very rare
ly exhibit any of their stock, it being
their taste to live In proud. almost
regal, exclusiveness, for they feel that
there is, after royalty no better blood
than theirs in England.
In the stables where are kept Lady
Londonderry's two favorite hunters,
Fountain and Sobriquet, are 40 other
handsome animals, all reserved for the
use of the family and guests. Lady
Londonderry is graceful and fearless
rider. but, strange to say. her daugh-
ter, Lady Helen Stewart, now aged 20,
does not ride at all. Dogs are Lady
Hclen's delight The two great Scotch
deerhounds, Langwell and .Braemore,
love to follow the beautiful girl all
over the park and crouch at her feet
for hours, watching her with great, de-
voted eyes.
Although she loves her horses best,
Lady Londonderry also is fond of dogs,
and they are devoted to her, fact that
goes to disprove the oft repeated accu-
sations of her enemies that she is the
proudest and coolest woman in Eng
land. Animals have way of judging
character that transcends all human
calculations, and their judgment Is sell
dom, If ever, disappointing. 1t is beau
tiful to notice in the great community
at Wynyard the freemasonary of
friendship that seems to exist between
the creatures human and brute that
dwell together on the estate.
Lady Londonderry's special farming
fads are chicken raising and dairying.
She raises pure Orpingtons and Dor
kings. Her poultry yard includes some
fine specimens which are never seen at
shows, as they are kept entirely for
heme consumption.
In gem of a flower and vine cover
ed white stone dairy Lady Londonderry
and her daughter sometimes play at
dairying. In front of the dairy Is a
beautiful rose garden. Chrysanthe-
mum borders and other decorative flow
er plots are encountered everywhere In
the park, for the Londonderrys are
fond of flowers and have one of the
best gardeners in England. to say moth
ing of plenty Of means to crafty every
within.
Cine of their eocentricities Is a little
cemetery in which some OF their favor
tie pets are buried, with tombstones
bearing epitaphs commemorative OF
their virtues. One says:
There are men both good and wise
Who hold that in a future state
Dumb creatures we have cherished here
below
Shall give us joyous greetings when we
pass the golden gate.
Is It folly that | hope it may be SO?
Lord Csstlereagh, the Londonderrys only
son, who was married few weeks ago to
Miss Chaplin, a niece of the Duke of Suth-
erland and a considerable heiress, IL a
lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards one
of the queens crack regiments Like so
many of the young peers Of England, he
is very anxious to be off to the war, but
both his mother and his bride have used
every influence and argument to retain him
at home.
Lord Shrewsbury. Lady Londonderrys
brother, although hereditary lord high
steward of Ireland, and premier earl OF
England, is the only black sheep in this
otherwise very naughty and respectable
family, and there Is enough Of the Shrews-
bury naughtiness to require for safety from
public criticism a very large grant OF
charity.
