accompanied by n Friend OF the
DUKES, They VIII Sec the United

All big things come to Houston, even
real live dukes and duchesses being no
exception, As proof OF this it may be
stated that one Of England's most popu
lar and handsome noble couples spent an
hour in this city last night. They were
the duke of Manchester and his Ameri-

The duke is affable and sociable in
manner and is strictly man o. The
world, being at home anywhere.
The duchess is pretty young woman
of about the average size and looks like
million or SO other American girls.
The party is a gay one and seems to be
greatly enjoying Itself in seeing the

merly Miss Helen Zimmerman, the
daughter of Eugene Zimmerman of Gin

road He is accredited with being worth
several millions OF dollars, and she is,
therefore, an heiress Of ell-balanced

With this strong American influence

English peerage. He had been in Amer
lea twice before this bridal trip, once
as an actor and once as Il newspaper re-
porter.
His marriage TO Miss Helen Zimmer-
man was clandestine affair. and only
five persons knew of ii until FIVE days

The third member Of this interesting
bridal party-Lord Lsmnart-is the
chum of the duke. He was in school with
him, has grown up with him and on his
wedding day was his best man. The
"lord' Is said to be a complimentary
prefix assigned his old schoolmate by
the duke, especially for this American
tour, and that in real life he is plain Mr.,
