When the duke of Roxburghe disap-
pointed eligible" young women in
London by choosing an American bride
many a matchmaker on both sides of
the Atlantic predicted that society's sea
would not yield another such catch in

nobleman, however, who. If not of quite

heir to title that of late years has come
to signify good deal more. He attained

When Lord Dalmeny comes into his
