most versatile as well as one Of the
most beautiful members OF very IA
shfonable society. Not only is Lady
Mary a musician, an artist and an
expert yatchwoman; not only has
she explored every part OF the United
States as well as Europe. large dis
tricts OF Africa, Asia and the South
Sea Islands, but she proved to the
delighted amazement of her American
friends. that the fair sister of an
English earl was far more deeply
versed in domestic accomplishments
than many of the wives OF republican
millionaires. It happened that on her
last visit to ''the states" Lady Mary

bled at the first night of the Kilohana

Howard Hitchcock's work was master
", his volcanoes being particularly
good. Personally his volcanoes appeal
to me more real than Tavernier's. for
We can imagine the seething fire I'M
derneath. while Tavernier left moth
