to the cooler countries. Russia, es-

Although SO much has been said
about the marriage of Lady Randolph
Churchill and Lieutenant West, l do
not think it is generally known that
English society in general accepts the
match with great interest and pleasure.
The petty jealousies of a few cannot
affect the whole, and Lady Randolph
is one of the most famous Of living
women; she is distinctly great in sep
arate spheres of activity. Lieutenant
West, on the other hand, has his spurs
to win. Only twenty-eight, he has
fought In one campaign and been
wounded; he has also served in the
Queens army in civil capacity in
times of peace. Besides this he has
been honored by the Prince for i'm
portant diplomatic duty. But beyond
these things he has nothing Of which
to boast, unless it be having won the
hand of q great and beautif1 woman.
I am told that society was more than
surprised at the engagement. for the
reason that young West was much the
junior OF her ladyship and had always
been the intimate friend and playmate
Of the boys; and also because of the
fact that there was no love lost be-
tween Mrs. CORVALLIS West, mother
of the young man, and Lady Churchill.
In the old days when both were brides
there had been serious rivalry between
them, both being 1.-The most beautiful
woman in England" Later they had
some friction in the matter Of social
precedence. What then was the cha
grin of Lady CORVALLIS West to think
that Lady Randolph Churchill, her
former rival, would call her mother-in-
law.
On getting wife like Lady Randolph
young West is to be congratulated. Yet
so Is she, for that matter, say the gos-
sips. for no finer young man lives in
England. nor one with more promise.
