LAaAlAAAAk

The recent failure OF a London com.
pany IN which many Of the English
nobility had funds invested Will
not be likely to hamper particularly
the Countess Of Warwick. She has the
immense rent from Easton Lodge, oc-
oupled by the family OF the American
multimillionaire. Mr.. Henry King. The
lodge with its great park OF 1900
acres, Is considered one OF the most
magnificent couHtry seats In Great
Britain. 1t Is the personal property Of
Ithe Countess Of Warwick who was
MISS Frances Eyylyn Maynard. the
daughter Of Colonel the Honorable c. II.
maynard and OF Blanche. afterward
countess Of Rosslyn. She was a great
helress. Very few Americans have any
Idea OF the number Of their country
men who are occupying distinguished
positions abroad and who are supposed
by the world at large TO be natives OF
'he countries IN which they reside.
The Kings are an example Of this.

maps So years Of age is a Virglnian by

young and accompanied Mr.. King to

mense fortune In the mines, as many
