Countess Warwick is also known as
one Of the most philsnthropic of Eng

No Taste for Politics.
Mrs. CornwaIlis-west. who was Jennie

politics nearly as well as some Of her
American relatives. once asked the
Countess of Warwick why she did not
take a hand In national politics. as 50
many English women OF note did. The
reply Of the countess was character
istic.
