which occurred some years ago. the Can
did Friend" of London, says:
Miss Martin was at the time sixteen.

good-looking and agreeable woman, and,
like many marriages de convenance, the
union of the Earl and Countess of Craven
has proved FAR happier one than many
marriages inspired by ardent love In 1897
she became the mother of her first child.
four years after her marriage, when she
had attained the age of twenty.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin are very
wealthy persons. The fortune. however,
is almost entirely in the hands of Mrs.
bradley Martin, stout cheerful lady

quenty Mr.. and Mrs. Martin found they

America a better time in London than in
New York. They have therefore for
many years made England their principal

place in Scotland and also a mansion in
Chesterfield Gardens. The Earl and Coun-
tess OF Craven reside with them when in
London, but live principally at their coun-
try seat, Ashdown, in Berkshire

contemplated, TO sell his family mansion
in Charles Street, Berkeley Square. to Mr.
McEwan, the Scotch millionaire. as Il is
a kind Of house which no money can re-
place, and his wealthy parents-in-law
would, doubtless, have been but too de
lighted TO purchase il as a wedding pres
ent for their only surviving child"
