a POPULAR DUCHESS.
Her Grace of Sutherland Is Bsautiful
and SOCIALLY PoNarful

Her Grace of Sutherland Is Beautiful
and Socially Powerful.
Every inch duchess is her tall
fair grace of Sutherland. No woman
in England is more intelligent and
modern in her ideals. enjoys more va
ried interests and graces her straw
berry-leaved coronet with more con-
scientious endeavor to do what Is be-
coming and worthy of woman and q
peerless. The duchess springs from the
noble family of Rosslyn, and two Of
her sisters. the countess OF Warwick
and Lady Angela Forbes, are as IA
nous for their brains and beauty as
she. Not only does she come Of one
of the richest Scottish families, but
after a year in society she married
the richest young bachelor duke In
England. She is the mistress Of five
superb homes. and in London at Stat
ford house, and in the north country
at Dunrobin castle she is reckoned one
of the handsomest and most powerful
leaders of English society. In spite Of
her riches and the adulation that is
her share, this tall, slender and graz
cious woman takes a deeper interest
in scientific philanthropy, the educa-
ton of children and the cause Of wom-
an suffrage than in balls and dinners.
Under her patronage the cottage in
dustries of Scotland have enjoyed a
remarkable prosperity. In the big
cities of Scotland, in London, and even
in New York she has established shops
that do fine business in the extensive
manufactures of the Scottish peasan-
try. Perhaps, II she Is something Of a
socialist like her older sister, the coun-
tess of Warwick, she is very consistent
in her creed. and at her castle in the
north she is tenderly loved by the
poorer classes. in her relations with
which she is both sensible and sincere
The greater portion of the duchess
time is spent at Dunrobin, leading q
very simple life with her small family,
tramping and riding about in rough
short skirted tweed gown, followed by
her dogs and accompanied very often
by her blonde headed little daughter,
Lady Rosemary, who wears heavy boots
and full knickerbockers, who has a
playmate in every cottagers child, and
who is firmly grounded in the belief
that a dukes daughter is no better
than a farmers. only more lucky.
