one of the American beauties to lead
Great Britain's social season.
Lest we forget. Queen Alexandra
must not be left out when taking ac-
count of the beauties of King Edwards
court. The queen, in spite of her Sc
years and the sorrows that have dark
ened her life. retains much of the beau
ty that made her conspicuous years
ago. BY all accounts she is lovely
and lovable woman and will preside
over the bevy of younger beauties with
the grace inherited from generations of
royal ancestry.
Among the women who have touched
the susceptible heart of England's
king Mrs. George keppel is one of the
latest. Though untitled she is of aris-
tocratic ancestry and the sister-in-law
Of the Earl of Albemarle Mrs. Keep
pei is typical English beauty and has
besides brains and wit to recommend
her. To his credit, be it stated, the
erstwhile Prince of Wales was always
fonder of combined beauty and brains
than of greater beauty without mental
ability.
The Countess of Mar and Kellie, who
Is q daughter of the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, is one of the most beautiful wo-
men of the United Kingdom. Her
title, which is Scotch, is one Of the
most ancient of the northern kingdom
and belongs to the head of the historic
family Of Erskine. Court gossip has
it that the countess has already been
selected by Queen Alexandra to, fill one
Of the most important positions of the
court. She is well fitted by appearance
and experience to grace any position
to which she may be called.
Lady de Grey, who will also probably
fill an honorary position under Queen
! Alexandra, has long been one of the
most notable and popular beauties of
London society. She is a member Of
the Herbert family, the head of which
is the Earl of Pembroke. 1t is Curl
Gus fact that this family is noted for
having unusually large feet, and this
is the only blemish on the otherwise
perfect beauty of Lady de Grey. She
is tall, stately and statuesque, with a
captivating smile and a perfect figure.

How 'sDnyid Harum" Came to Be
Written.
An interesting little anecdote is told
about how David Harum" came to be
written. 1t is rather pathetic. 1t seems
that Mr.. Wescott the author, was the
kind of man who could do pretty much
anything paint picture, plan house
or compose q sonata-but he had never
made much money. so when he became
i'll and realized that he might not live
long and would leave his family with
little or no money he was desperate.
Write a book" suggested friend
and neighbor to him one day when
they were talking over the situation.
81 did make an attempt at it once"
answered Mr.. Wescott. 81 tried love

add little local color to it," said
the first speaker Take one of the
people about here that you know and
work him up-old 49,, for instance"
mentioning character familiar to
them both. He'd be first rate"
That's good ideal" exclaimed Mr..
Wescott. and the result of this CONVEX
sation was David Harum," and yet
David" was never in the story at all
as it was first conceived.--Anna Went

Lady de Grey's first husband was the
Earl Of Lonsdale. whose death was
caused by too fast life. His widow
did not mourn her loss much or long,
for she soon married Earl de Grey,
who is the son and heir of the Marquis
Lord de Grey is immensely wealthy
and his countess can well afford to
indulge her taste for jewels and finery
She is very fond of music and the
drama
Another charming American who en-
joyed the favor of the Prince of Wales
in days gone past is Mrs. Arthur Paget.
who was Miss Minnie Stevens daugh-
ter of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens of
New York. Although Mrs. Paget need
not make way for any woman in Eng

of England's noblemen will probably

women who will grace the court of Ed

others who are fair Of face. They have
