LADY WARWICK AHEAD
SUDDENLY RICH AND BACK IN
FAVOR WITH KING AND QUEEN
Woman of Infinite Versatility and
Greatly AccompIished-Her Career
Has Been One of Surprises for Many
Years-Her Enemies, Who Aip Le-
sion, Are Completely Routed.

LONDON, Oct 20-Frances Evelyn
Warwick, as she signs her letters, left
England the other day for the conti-
nent, where she is to remain several
weeks. When she comes home, if cur
rent report is to be trusted, this clever.
lady will enter on an era of reneweA
prosperity and royal favor. Fortune
has smiled on Lady Warwick of late
laughed, indeed, not at but with her.
To use the American expression, things
seem to be coming Lady Warwick's
way again. Good luck lays at her feet
almost simultaneously the inheritance
Of large sum Of money, literary sue
cess and reconciliation with the king
and queen.
Two years ago heard a conserva-
tive newspaper man remark that Lady
Warwicks eventful life had, in his
opinion, furnished practically all the
newspaper copy it ever would.
She'll cause no more excitement" he
said. cit stands to reason that no
woman, however versatile, can keep UP
for lifetime Kaleidoscope changes Of
character and occupation such as have
made Lady Warwick's career thus far
remarkable"
Well, my conservative friend was for
once mistaken. Lady Warwick has not
only come to the front again, but come
with so triumphant a herald that her
former states of success are not to be
compared with the present Certain
prejudiced persons who in time past
punished Lady Warwick for being so
beautiful and other things by cutting
her stone dead" are, I heard it whis-
pered, thinking better Of the matter.
Some benign influence has even been
at work with the queen and induced
her patient majesty to have audience
with Lady Warwick. What the two
discussed is not related, but there
seems to be little doubt that the lovely
countess comes nearer holding friend
ship with the royal family en- masse
at the present moment than she mas
since those far-away years, when, as
"Daisv" MAYNARD, she first won adj
miration from the man who was then
Prince Of Wales.
Fortune Has Smiled.
Everyone who knows the Warwicks
has seen of late that monev has come
| to them from some place. Scarcely
three years ago their financial affairs
were in a shocking state; young LORD
Brooke, the Warwick son and heir, sold
his horse to buy a gun with which TO
fight the Beers; the noble earl h1mSelt
passed his lands over into the hands OF
an up-to- date limited company and
gave up the struggle Of appearing to
have plenty Now it is all different and
the story goes that Lady Warwick
benefited to the extent of $1,000,OOO by
the will Of Cecil Rhodes.
Lady Warwick's own particular place
in Essex. CASTOR lodge the home she
prefers to Wa1wic castle, principally
inhabited by her husband), is being
made more attractive daily. New
names and great may be seen in the
celebrated Garden Of Friendship
which, like the countess herself, seems
to have taken vigorous new lease
of life Her ladyship's various philan-
thropies are benefiting largely and

Talent for Expression.
Which brings me to the most pleasing
of Lady WarWick's gifts. She has a real
talent for expressing herself amiably and
with strength. Whatever she says or
Warwick is mo sham worker no philan-
thropist pretended. no dabbler In liter
ature She is singularly talented won-
an, whose varied ability constantly seeks
outlet and constantly employs itself in
some new enterprise. Today it Is horti-
cultural training for INDECENT gentle
women. Tomorrow it is technical educa-
school for crippled children and the nee
dlework guild. A poor law guardian has
Lady warwick been. the owner Of a
shop In Bond street the supporter of the
beehive industry In Warwickshire. What
ever she has done she has done well. so
people expect much of the new book.

She will doubtless describe to US in fit

she dares) of their lives; also the story

say nothing as yet about the exact con-

that there Is fine flavor Of Scott to the
