be remembered that the duke died some
weeks ago, and that the heir to ms u
Lorne, son-in-laW Of her majesty the
queen and formerly encouragement
of Canada. The late Duke OF AtgyH
married about four or five years ago
one of the queens maids of honor, Miss
Ina Erslline. He was then in his sew
enty-third year, while she was not yet
thirty. The marriage was looked upon
with scant favor by all the members OF
the family, who, although they recog-
nized the brides agreeable qualities as
a woman, were not especially anxious
to see InVerary castle ruled over by
person who was younger by good
many years than any of the dukes own
children.

Married they were, however, and in
time the Duchess of Argyll was looked
upon in a more favorable light by her
elderly step-sons and daughters
while she was restored once more to
small amount of the queens favor, for
her majesty did not wax enthusiastic
over the fact that one of her most inn
portant mobiles should make such an
unsuitable marriage in his extreme old
age. 1t is said, however, that Ina,
Duchess of Argyll, was genuinely fond
Of her husband while he certainly law
ished any amount Of affection upon her.
This was more clearly proved when,
after his death, it was discovered that
he had willed all his personal estate,
amounting to a considerable sum, to
his widow, while he had only left what
was absolutely necessary and heredita-
ny to his heir the Marquis Of Lorne,
and to others of his progeny. Ina,
Duchess of Argyll, is therefore an eX-
ceedingly wealthy woman, for she has
little state to keep up, as a widow, and
no children of her own to support,
The present Duke and Duchess of Ar
gyll, however, are for their station, al
most pooc and this fact is verified when
one knows that the splendid seat of the
Campbells, Inverary castle, in Argyle
shire, has been put up to rent. Much
gossip and conjecture is being lavished
upon the reason for this step and every
thing seems to point to a family jar of
more or less serious proportions 1t was
known, for instance that the Marquis
of Lorne did not attend his fathers fun
eral, and was not even represented
there. The queen sent a representative,
but the Princess Louise did not. 1t is
said that the present Duke of Argyll
considers that his father by leaving the
dowager duchess so extremely well off
has in a measure impoverished his own
condition.
The late Duke of Argyll had no fewer
than eleven sons and daughters, all Of
whom have made themselves more or
less remarkable in a variety of ways.
Lord Archibald Campbell, who is the
next heir to the dukedom as the pres
ent duke has no heirs, is married to n
lady who has always made herself more
or less conspicuous in the world of art
and letters. Lady "Arche" Campbell is
one of the best-knoWn figures in Lon |
don. She has an extraordinary person
atty. which she does not attempt to OBJ
viate by her very extraordinary style of
dress. She has always had a passion
for things dramatic, and she it was who
first made out-of-door performances of
shakespearean plays by amateurs fash
ionable in England. On one occasion at
memorable performance of LAS You
Like 1t" on the grounds of one of the
great estates of England, she played
Orlando to the Rosalind of Miss Elean-
or Calhoun, while Edward Rose, whom
we all know so we'll nowadays as a dra-
matist, was the Touchstone. Lady
Archie is also an interchangeable believer
in athletic sports of all kinds for wo-
men. She swims remarkably well, and
has won a variety of medals as an anna
teur skater. She also dabbes a good
deal in music, and has written a play
called by some npronounceable Scotch
name which was produced last winter
in EdsG'burg, and in which she persona
ted the hero.
In appearance she is decidedly uncon- |
ventional. She wears her hair rather
short and curled halo-Hke about her
head. She is very tall and slim of fig
ure, and as she never congresses her
waist by the faintest fraction of an inch
she looks more like boy in the way of !
outline. For years she has only worn
one style of hat and this takes the form
of Tam o'Shanter, the material of
which it is made being changed accord

who obtained a judicial separation from
her in 1884, and was not, as many peo-
pie imagine, divorced. Lady Colin has
