DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH HERE.
{ Arrives In America For First Time
Since Her Wedding.

Since Her Wedding.
New York. Aug. 2O.-Consuelo, Ouch
less of Marlborough. known as the
American duchess. who was one of
Queen AleXandra's prominent attend
ants during the coronation, set foot on
American soil during the day for the
first time since her marriage in this
city seven years ago.
The duchess arrived on the Kron-
prinZ Wilhelm. She was accompanied
by her mother, Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont.
and Mr. and Mrs. William X. Wander
bilt, Jr., the latter sister of Mr.
Charles Fair.
The JOY of homecoming was spoiled
for the party by the sad message which
was received by wireless telegraph
when the ship was off Nantucket.
For Mr.. William X. Vanderbilt, Jr..
the news had special significance, as
he had just acquired the distinction of
being the greatest racing chauffeur in
France. and it was in emulation of his
prowess that his brother-n-law had
lost his life.
Many of the plans for the Duchess of
Marlborough's visit will be interfered
with by the death of Mr.. Fair. She
was undecided after hearing the news
whether or not to remain the five
weeks she had determined to spend in
this country.
The fact that the duchess arrived I'M
accompanied by the duke shows that
he intends keeping his VOW never again
to set foot in this country.
