MISFORTUNE OF RICH HEIREss.

Owner of Arran Isle Misses Title Be
cause She Was Not Born a Boy.
The visit of King Edward to the
Island of Arran on the coast of Scot
land recalls the extraordinary luck of
the present Duke of Hamilton and the
misfortune of the owner of Arran in
not being born a boy. The present
duke succeeded to the title in the
most roundabout way. He is de-
scended from the fourth duke and his
line branched off in 1742 when Lord
Anne Hamilton (who had been named
after Queen Anne) married. The
senior branch of the Hamiltons from
the fifth to the twelfth dukes, after
reigning 179 years, became extinct in
the male line, leaving plain Alfred
Douglas Hamilton the dukedom. The
late duke whose mother was a princess
of Baden and whose sister became
Princess Monaco, left an only daugh-
ter, who is now eighteen. She owns
almost the whole of Arran, which is
one of the most beautiful spots in the
United Kingdom and has not become
vulgarized by holiday-makers.

1t is really hard on the servants. and

when not entitled to be shown into the

woman has been entertaining guests

might be from the South Sea islands,
but it's not, and it would never do to
tell just the locality from which they
hail, though it may be said that they
are islanders of some kind. There
have come from their islands from
time to time quite a number of people
who have settled in New York, but
while they are in the great metropolis
they are not of it, and their general
appearance betokens something of the
carelessness OF the tropics. If they
should wear the native dress of South
Sea Islanders 1t would be all right
once seen, there would be no mistak-
ing them-but, as it is, their appear
ance is merely-well, a little odd.
So 1t happened the other day that

somewhat gayly dressed, asked for
the island ladies, and John ushered her
~obsequiously into the drawing room,
only to be sharply r%eproved later.

That the desire Of a vacation Is a nat

are usually about the summer s~olstice
or the autumnal equinox. The desire
to break away from his surroundings
becomes Irresistible; he yearns for
space, for solitude, for desolation, and
he flies to the forest, the ocean. or the
