Selects Bride For Her Duke.

The old Duchess OF ID yOnshire con-
tinues her amazingly pIucky fight against
neuritis, which is steadily growing worse
and is now affecting her heart. She
sturdily opposed the Dukes suggestion
that she couniermand her big house par
ty at Chatsworth for the Derby races
this week, though quite unable TO 60 TO
the race track herself The Duchess of
Connaught, who was among her guests,
WAS appalled, when she saw ber hostess
and desired to leave Immediately, con-
sidering it unkind to impose the duty Of
entertaining on one so desperately III,
tut was persuaded that nothing would
hurt the Duchess more, and the only
real kindness of bcr now was to humor
her fancy for dischargiDg the duties Of
graude dame to the last.
The most extraordinary feature OF her
case is her keen anxiety that the Duke
should marry again. In her circle it is
freely rumored that she has made him
solemnly promise he would marry Miss
Muriel Wilson, whose beauty and tai
ents they both have long admired. The
Duchfss thinks the Duke should pro-
vide direct heir for the title, which
would be rather unfortunate for his
nephew, Victor Cavendish, who has
long been regarded as sure of the success
