|1HE brilliancy and success of the
present coronation season in Lon
- don rests wholly on the shoulders
IGSSN of the fashionable English
- hostess. The king may provide the
glitter and grand shows, but it is "up to"
the feminine leaders of society, so to speak,
to second his efforts and satisfy the many
hundreds of thousands of foreigners with
the sort of hospitality that fingers warmly
in the memory Of strangers. AS long ago
as last autumn some Of the women, who
have already assumed leading positions as
entertainers, began to set their huge Park
Lane and South Kensington houses in order
for this springs campaign.
The grand city mansion belonging to the
duke of Westminster was, for example,
done over from top to bottom for the ex-
ceedingly handsome young duchess, whose
marriage made such a social stir a year
ago, and who promises to become the most
powerful hostess in English society. This
lady is the second daughter of Mrs. Will
liam Cornwallis-West, who was a famous
beauty in the day when Mrs. Langtry
first appeared. The duchess elder sis
ter is the beautiful Princess of Pless and is
one of the great ladies and leading
beauties of Emperor Williams court. All
'''A0S O"NNN AlAoo
Edwina Cornwallis-West made a more bril-
liant alliance than her sister, when she
married the richest of the English dukes.
His grace of Westminster met with sharp
family opposition when he announced his
desire to marry Miss Cornwal1is-West He
is even now only 20 years OF age, his wife's
junior by five years, and his stern, simple
old grandfather, whom he succeeded, was
bitterly opposed, not only to such an early
marriage, but also to an alliance with a
family whose achievements and ambitions
have been no more strenuous nor Intellectual
than those of a flock of butterflies. The
young duke has, nevertheless, followed the
inclinations of his heart, and though his wife
may not be a marchioness OF Salisbury for
brains, she is a beauty of the first-class, a
lady of wit, ready tact, great enterprise
and blessed with the looks and the gifts
that will give her the leadership among
the queenly hostesses of this regal season.
The Americans now in London take an
infinite pride and interest in one Of the
smart hostesses who halls from the United
States, and who does the land of her birth
every credit. This is Lady Grey-Egerton,
who, as Miss May Carolyn Cuyler, married
Sir Philip Grey Egerton in 1898. Lady
Grey Egerton's beauty of feature and color
ing is beyond criticism and she has all the
crisp wit and sweet friendliness of man
ner typical of the well born American
Omaha daily bee., 1902-05-25

who visits England. She even persuaded
the unsociable Cecil Rhodes to visit her
at Warwick castle, the critical Marie
Corclli adorcs her and Lady Warwick boasts
that she never saw the American whom
she could not win to complete friendship
in half an hour. Lady Warwick Is no re,
spCCtor Of money or blue blood as a claim
to her liking and hospitality, and her tiny
London drawing room is filled with people
whose clever minds, interesting achieves
mcnts or charming personality have recon-
mcndod them to her favor.
Lady Annesley Is an Irish beauty whose
dinner invitations are regarded in London
society as though they were prizes. She
is the young wife of the aged Earl of
Anneslcy, one of the few rich Irish peers,
ana socially she is most ambitious and
successful. She is one of the few close
friends of Queen Alexandra, and, unlike
Lady Winbornc and the marchioness OF
Londonderry, the other two most famous
dinner hostesses, she never gives what are
called great spreads" Her guests are
rarely more than twelve in number and
her menus are short, but very wonderful.
Two of the most potent and popular
ladies in London society whose entertain
mcnts are as carefully chroniclcd as the
hospitalities dispensed by royalty itself arc
lacking both in titles and in great city
homes. Mrs. George Keppel and Mrs.
Cecil Powney are p0ssessors Of small
houses, crammCd, however, with objects of
art, and hey are both the friends of roy
atty. The king himself stood godfather to
Mrs. Kcppels little boy, and under the new
and exclusive regime Mrs. Powney is in
vtted to court quite as though she was n
duchess. Mrs. POwney, as is now tn,
fashion for specializing among hostcsses,
gives the most perfect little musical enter
in London. She Is herself an
accomplished violinist. and Jan Kubelik,
Jean de Reszke, etc, come to dine or
breakfast and play and sing Afterwards,
quite in a friendly way.
Mrs. Keppel's specially is for lions OF
the first magnitude. She knows mere
famous folk and more royal men and
women than any other woman in England.
she does not assume to be witty, partic-
ularly wise, nor beautiful, but her grace
OF manner Is said to be so Irresistible that
crowned heads unbend in her presence,
and her popularity is so great that even
in critical gossiping, envious society she
has few, If any, enemies.

today. The princess history, If so it may
be called, is unique; her purpose in this
country is unusual. She herself is alto
gether charming.
rs a daughter Of the old king of the
Punjab, she belongs to the highest cast
among the East Indian royalties. To those
versed in such genealogy her personality
proclaims her exalted birth, while from
her soft, large eyes sometimes flash senti-
ments akin to those of her famous grand
mother, one of the greatest insurrectionists
against whom England ever held a re-
stralning hand. The almost perfect type
Of features, often identified with these
people, belongs also to this princess and
seems somehow to be accentuated by the
copper color of her skin and her exquisitely
long taper-pointed fingers.
At the time of the suppression of her
fathers power he and his family were
taken to live in England. India then be-
came a forbidden land to them. Thus it is

are Philip de Malpas and Rowland de Bel
ward. These boys were born in 1895, and
have inherited their mothers features and
coloring.
Another woman whose personality is of
intense interest to London's visitors, is
that blonde and enterprising social favorite
and hostess, the countess of Warwick.
Though her eldest son, Lord Brooke, was

GOOD ouT OF INTEND d EVIL

A few days ago we published some
particulars OF the lntolerant course
pursued by the Mayor OF Winchester,
Virginia, who not only refused Elders
Waiter Wright and John Evans Nor
mon missionaries, the privilege Of
preaching on the streets Of that city.
but forbade their preaching at all, and
also their distribution Of tracts. The
Elders, however, while conforming TO
the regulation against street preaching.
did not recognize his right to prohibit
their preaching In hall, or church or
private house and 80 held meetings at
the home OF gentleman named Lock-
hart. aud announced through the press
their intention TO exercise their rights
az citizens 10 assemble for religious
worship and teaching, while they stu
held to the Twelfth Article OF the Lat
ter-day Saints faith, which Is: I'VE
believe in being subject to kings presl-
dents, rulers and magistrates, In obey
Ing, honorlng and sustaining the law"
In referring to this matter we de-
precated the exercise Of undue authori-
ty by the Mayor Of Winchester, and
applauded the lIberallty OF the Evening
star Of that city. which gave both sides
of the controversy and published the
statement OF the Elders and their refu-
tation OF the charges made against
"MormonIsm." We also expressed the
opinion and expectation, that some
good would arise from the dispute oc-
casloned by the arbitrary action Of the
chief executive of Winchester" We
now learn that the Elders were sue
cessful In their efforts In that place, TO
the extent that two persons received
the Gospel and were baptized into the
Church, This report was dated just
one week after the article referred to
appeared In our columns.
1t ia right for our missionaries TO
observe the laws aud regulations es-
tablshed In any country, city or
town where they are called to labor,
We arc commanded to uphold and
maintain all constitutional laws OF the
land. At the same time, rulers and
magistrates should be governed BY cor.
rect principles, and not attempt undue
exercise OF the authority committed TO
them. They should be governed by law
as well as the humblest citizen. And
It Is the right Of every man and wo-
man, TO maintain that liberty OF con-
science and Of action which IL guaran-
teed by the constitution and lnstitu-
lions Of The nation In which they live.
This. OF course, SHOULD be done IN q
peaceable and Christian manner with
q due regard for the rights OF others
and also for the vlndication OF true
freedom and the PRONUNCIATION OF the
Gospel OF the latter days, We are
pleased at the success Of our brethren
and look for further good results.

THE TRUST QUESTION.

There IL O rumor about the contem.
plated formation OF gigantic COM
bnation. with a capital Of half n BILL
lion dollars, for the purpose Of securing
all the packing houses and stockyards
with their collateral interests, IN the
United States. Such q combination, II
Is thought, would be In a position to
control the entire meat trade, fix
prices and compel every family In the
country to contribute to its profits
Those who have conceived this plan
seem 10 argue that combination al
gigantic magnitude Is more lawful
than one OF smaller size; or, that Il
can defend Itself against the law, II
put to the test They seem 10 take the
view of lynchers who think that a
murder committed by number Of
persons, acting together, is no crime.
Should this scheme 90 through other
interests, we presume, would follow
suit, and the consequences would be
that the consuming public would be at
the mercy OF the combinations, as far
az prices on commodities are con-
cerned The prospect will not be re-
gardcd as pleasant Russell Sage, some
time ago, predicted fearful disaster as a
consequence OF the policy Of CONSOLE

ness, and II Is but too probable that he

man power can stand very long
against that Of an enlightened people
