THE NEWEST
AMERICAN
DUCHESS

Of Miss May Goelet, the new Duchess
of RoXburghe, shows the greatest heir
ess in tie world wearing most of her
jewels and those Of her mother.
Miss Goelet is here in fancy dress
~ Cleopatra, in which character she
attended Mrs. Adair's famous ball in
London last spring. L. was the most
splendid fancy dress ball ever given,
and especially so in the matter of jew
els. The Countess Of Warwick was
there as Queen Semiramis, Lady Ran
dolph Churchill as a Byzantine En-
press, and the Princess Hatzfeldt as
Queen Esther with stockingless feet
and Jewels on her toes.
But among all these society leaders
none wore such valuable jewels as
Miss Goelet. Her headdress was a
mass Of pearls, diamonds and rubies
blazing with colored light. Ropes Of
pearls hung down on each side of her
face. Her neck was encircled with
many necklaces. and her arms were
laden. with bracelets. The Oriental
headdress was admirably suited to
her dark type of beauty. The value
of her Jewels was not less than $780,
600, but that is q trifle. for she is the
possessor Of S3O,OOO,OOO worth of New
York real estate.
