Life Becomes
Falling.
So He Decides to Spend
His Days in Old
England.
Intends to Invest His Cash
in the Purchase of
a Devon Estate.

LONDON, Aug. B.-One of Washing
tons famous legal lights. a confirmed
bachelor and a member OF what has been
called the old residential aristocracy" of
that city, has decided to leave the land of
his birth and settle permanently in Eng
land
In discussing the matter with q CORE
spondent he said that he intended to take
this step because he was tired of Wash
ington society and wished to get away
from locality where, as ne expressed 1t,
''even my bootblack thinks he is as good
as I am
He longs to retire from his profession,
in the practice of which he has accumu-
one of England's landed proprietors. In
fact, he has picked out his place, a prop
erty that exactly suits him. and Will soon
return to the United States TO dispose of
his Washington residence, close up his
business affairs and then conclude the
purchase of the English estate. It is sit
uated in Devonsliire, the most beautiful
county in England, and comprises 1900
acres. including a parish in its boun-
daries The disposal of a church living
also goes with the property. The pur-
chase price is about 100000.
Pending the completion of the transac-
tion. the correspondent is under pledge
not TO disclose the name of the distin-
land TO America, as a place in which 10
take life easy. If all his plans go through
as arranged he will take possession of the

that the Duchess first met the King. The
occasion was dinner party given by
the Duchess Of Teck to meet "the fair
American" as the Duchess was then
called. After dinner the conversation
was rather tactlessly allowed to turn on
the relative merits of English and Ameri-
can society women and some rather acrid
things were said
The King, then Prince of Wales, was
greatly annoyed, and as soon as he got
a chance, gave his hostess a great dress
ing down for allowing the subject to be
discussed in view of the fact that the
Duchess was the only American woman
present and stranger at that. Later in
the evening the heir apparent made a
point of apologizing to the young Duchess
for what he described as an outrageous
breach of good manners. and during the
dance that followed he paid her marked
attention. That was the beginning of a
friendship which has few parallels in
court annals, and which grows heartier as
years go by.
Comparatively early in their acquaint-
ance the Duchess got the chance to do
the King a friendly service which he
never has forgotten. She got some money
for him 1t is rather notorious that there
were not infrequent occasions when the
then Prince OF Wales was rather severely
pressed and it Is an indication of the
confidential terms on which the two were
the Duchess Of his embarrassment. The
sum he wanted was $25.Oo0 The Duchess
managed to raise 1t within twelve hours
of the time she had heard of the Kings
scrape and went straight to him with the
check. There is no doubt that the act
was done through pure friendship, but
1t was one Of the best strokes Of uolicy
The San Francisco call., 1905-08-20

ever pulled off, By the way. an indi-
cation of the intimacy which has since
existed between the Duchess and the
King, and Queen Alexandra too, Is the
fact that, contrary to the usual court
ceremony, the American peeress is privi-
legged to call on their Majesties without
being obliged to notify them in advance,
and it is said that both the royal per-
sonages are equally unceremonious with
her.
Probably the privileges she thus en-
Joys have compensated the Dowager
Duchess. in a way. for the disappoint-
ments of the rest of her life, which
has been rather a sad one. 1t is not
likely that she mourned long for the
late Duke, her husband, for he was one
of the highest rollers in European So
ciety. but the deaths OF her twin
daughters were blows from which she
has never recovered. The eldest of
them died through the effects of chill
on delicate lungs. and the second. Lady
Alice Montagu, a really beautiful girl
from consumption. A couple of years
ago it was thought that the young Duke
was suffering from the same disease
but a wife who takes extremely good
care of him seems to have saved the
situation and he is now in robust
health.
LIKES HER ssBRIDGE' DINNERS.
OF the many different entertainments
that the Duchess gives for the Kings
benefit, perhaps the most notable are
her dinner bridge" parties. His Ma
jesty always has enjoyed dining with
the Duchess, who made a point of hav-
ing French chef years before this
became a regular custom in aristo-
cratic households. Since he came ia

Ought to Return Home Every

LONDON, Aug. 1s--Ts the American
EiH losing her popularity IN Eng
tAndT' Is question which one hears
frequently asked in society circles here.
Msny declare that she is not 80 much
admired as SIZE used to be. She has
grown more reserved, more dfgnif1ed-
IN short, more English. She has made
the mistake OF trying TO initiate the
English girl. In most cases, perhaps, II
has been unconscious imitation, but the
result has been the same. 1t is her un-
conventionality and pronounced indi-
viouality-her unlikeness to the Eng
lish girls in a word-that have made
her such a huge success heretofore.
In the degree that she gets to resemble
them she loses the characteristics that,
combined with her grace and beauty.
constitute her chief charms in English
eyes. The American girl often makes
the mistake Of spending too many
consecutive seasons among English So
ciety. She should return to her native
land every year or two to get the ef-
feet Of English associations rubbed off
and become thoroughly Americanized
over again, even TO her accent
The popularity OF the American hos
tess, on the other hand, is increasing
rather than diminishing. She is GER
tainly doing most of the entertaining
just now. But her popularity rests on
somewhat different foundations. She is
in q position to make her dollars count.
As long as she can give more lavish
entertainments than her English COM
petitors her position in the front rank
IS assured.
Like the Duchess of Manchester, young
Mrs. Bradley Martin promises to become
ali accomplished dancer in the Scotch
style. Donald Mckay, a professional
Scotch dancer and piper, has been giving
her lessons and he has found her most
apt pupil. She learned the Highland
fling in six lessons, but Scottish jigs and
reels she found more difficult. In six
months, however, she made it evident
that she intended TO thoroughly master
$cotland's poetry of motion" She gave
one hour each day, except Sunday, to her
studies, and now she needs a teacher no
longer. At society functions in Scotland,
especially in the Highlands, Scotch dances
10 the tunes of the Scotch pipes always
constitute a. part of the entertainment,
and American women making their homes
IN Europe frequently find themselves in
q rather awkward position when they are
forced to sit down and merely look on.
The Duchess Of Roxburghe was like Mrs
Bradley Martin obliged to take lessons,

Duchess Of Manchester Wins
the MOn1rcb'S Esteem.
She Is Also a Close Fr1end OF
HIS Royal C0nJ0rt.
Special Cable to The Call.

LONDON. Aug. 1917 late quite a
number of events have called attention
to the rather remarkable friendship
that exists between King Edward VII
and Consuelo. the American Dowager
Duchess Of Manchester. That friend
ship deserves to be described in this
way because OF an uncommonly inti-
mate nature. It has lasted for nearly
thirty years-or since q short time
after the Duchess came to this country
as the bride of the late Duke OF Man
chester-without q single rupture, and,
what is more. without SO much as an
insinuation IN connection with It
AS matter OF fact. there Is no doubt
whatever that with the handsome. rich
and clever American woman who Is the
mother OF the present Duke OF Man
chester, the King is really just genuine
ly "chummy." The best proof of 1t is
that the Dowager Duchess Is almost
as great q friend Of Queen Alexandra
as she Is of her husband Likewise that
she has almost as big pull with her
Majesty as she has with the King. No
one ever heard OF the Queen deput-
ing certain other of the Kings
friends to represent her at smart ba-
zaar or making them stewardesses of
some of her most important benefao-
tions to charity; but such marks OF
royal favor have been bestowed on the
Dowager Duchess Of Manchester times
without number. And although the
houses. outside these of royalty. which
the Queen honors with her presence do
not number dozen all told. King Ed
wards consort is frequently the guest
of the Dowager Duchess.
REAL "FRIENDS AT COURT"
Last summer, when the Duchess gave
big dinner party at Egypt" the lux
urious seaside house she has occupied
for several years during the Cowes sea-
son. both the King and the Queen were
present and when the Duchess enter
tains the King this fall at Braemar
Castle, the historic Scotch seat adjoin-
ing Balmoral, which she has just taken
for the grouse season, 1t is more than
likely that the Queen will also be a
