America" as they are still so often call
ed in London society.
Miss Corbett is the sister OF Lady
Sutton, whose son, Sir Richard sutton,
now but thirteen years Of age, will on
attaining his majority be one Of the
wealthiest young men in England, for
nearly the whole Of Piccadilly and the
streets turning off from 1t. besides q
good part Of Curzon street and the
neighborhood, and three superb coun-
try estates will pass into his hands.
Since the death Of her husband in 1898
Lady Sutton has married the vicar Of
Tring and still lives at Chequers court,
Tring. Some little time ago the late
Lord Combermere let his ancestral
home, Combermere abbey, at Whit
church, Shropshire, to Lady Sutton.
who stayed there with Miss Corbett
and her son. Towards the end of this
tenancy, while he was still away from
home, Lord Combermere died and his
body was brought back to Whitchurch
that he might be buried in the village
church yard. About this time Miss
Corbett, anxious to secure photographs
Of the beautiful abbey and the pictur
esque grounds, occupied herself with
her camera. On the day of the funeral
she took picture of the library. To
her unbounded astonishment, after de-
yeloping the photograph. she discover
ed that it showed the figure of man
sitting in one Of the easy chairs, al
though she is certain that no one but
herself was in the library when she
took the photograph. Among those who
have seen it are many who knew Lord
Combermere well and they all declare
that the figure in the photograph is
that Of Lord Combermere himself sit
ting not only in his favorite chair but
also in his most characteristic attitude
with his left hand placed inside his
coat. At the very moment of taking
this photograph Lord Combermere's
body was being buried in the village
church yard nearby.
Following the example Of her coun-
try women, Lady Barrymore, the
marehioness of Dufferin, formerly Miss
Davis, of + ew York, is endeavoring to
promote spirit of Industrial activity
in the peasant women among whom she
lives when in Ireland. The life of the
ordinary peasant woman is a most mo-
netonous one. The time required daily
to put their own homes in order does
not require much effort, and although
they are willing to work, there is little
they can do from which they can reap
any pecuniary benefits. Lady Barry
more, some months ago. conceived the
Idea OF encouraging industry by pro-
v1ding materials for stocking making
and needlework of every description,
afterwards finding an outlet for the
work produced through the medium OF
number of charities in which she
and many other friends were inter-
ested.
The marchioness of Dufferin is go
ing one better. She is encoura ging
the same class OF work, bAlt she is
finding market for it among store
keepers both in England and America.
where she is able to obtain market
value and is. therefore in a position
to pay the peasants a better price for
their work. Musical evening ant
Sunday outings for women and young
girls are also part OF her programme
