The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-06-08

Letter could have married many times
during her Washington career.
But she did not want a man with
money.
She did not care for a man with a
title.
She had no fondness Tor dudes or
good looks.
She scorned the society man as she
found him.
She thought it very silly to fiirt and
dance and do nothing.
She thought scholars a bore and
idlers worse.
She did not particularly fancy states
men and did not like politicians at all.
She wanted a man she would love and
she did not care where she found him.
She discovered George Curzon, an
ambitious. Woodworking young fellow,
off in London. A man with a titled
father and with a fine generation of
grandfathers back of him; a man who
could talk or who could keep still, a
clean, manly fellow. He had no money
to speak of. and, as for position, well.
he was an undersecretary of foreign af-
fairs. A position that may mean a
great deal or nothing at all.
To Mary Letter it meant nothing at
all. The only thing that counted was
the fact that she was in love with
George Curzon and that he was in love
with her.
So they were married.
After a honeymoon they went TO
London to live, and the pretty Ameri-
can girl made a discovery.
She had married man of brains. a
man who could make money. man
who could be a dude in the evening and
a worker in the daytime. She had
found a man who seemed able to COM
bine all the good qualities without be-
ing bore and who was liked by every
body from his sovereign down to the
pages and the little messengers of the
foreign office.
Then came a title. George Curzon
was created Baron Curzon of Kedles-
ton.
Then came advancement. And, final
ly, all in a brief space, after one honor
had been piled upon another. there
came the appointment to the magni1-
cent post in India.
When George Curzon sat down and
summed 1t up he found that he was the
youngest viceroy that had ever been
appointed to India; that he was the
most youthful of England's high
statesmen; that he had big work be-
fore him and that he must stir him
self vigorously to fulfill It.
Lady Curzon, with all the aplomb of
the American girl. learned the duties
of her new position and gathered to-
gether her forces, which consisted OF
an army of English servants and a
ship load of trunks.
She decided to rule In state and let
all the world know Ii.
AS for the new viceroy, he determined
that ell the wars in India should cease,
the famines be checked, the ignorance
be lightened and the state of the coun-
try improved.
How he succeeded his king knows,
and that he will be rewarded there Is
not much doubt.
Lady Curzon has kept her beauty.
She has kept her figure. And the story
is that she has kept her fortune
Though lowered with a gold spoon and
bank account, she has never had oc-
casion to wear out the one or overtax
the other. Her private income has re-
NAMED her private income and bank
ruptctes, embarrassments and kindred
disturbances have not touched her new
life.
So with a good figure, with a pretty
face, with a fortune and with educa-
ton, not forgetting lot of good West
ern sense, this daughter of Illinois did
it all.
She married the man she loved and
found him almost a king; she took him
with nothing and found he had every
thing. She went to live in a modest
home and found herself in a viceregaI
palace. She went to live the life of
an honest British matron and found
herself placed upon a pedestal. She
found she had to set the social laws OF
the country into which she had gone as
a humble little American girl
