Earl OF Pembroke Buys
the Wilton Carpet
Factory.
London. Jan. q.

London, JAN q.
~ o MANY members of the British
aristocracy are now engaged in
trade. solely for the purpose of
making money, that society no
longer looks askance upon the peer who
enters the realm Of commerce. But in
taking over the business of the famous
old Wilton carpet factory, which is
threatened with ruin by foreign COM
petition. the Earl Of Pembroke Is
actuated more by public spirited mo-
tiyes than by the desire to add to the
big income he derives from his ances-
trail acres.
1t was only after he had failed TO in
duce some of the great London firms
to come TO the rescue that, with the aid
Of Lord Radnor and some other friends,
he purchased the ancient factory-to the
delight Of the weayers who have long
regarded the family, which owns 10000
acres in Wiltshire as hereditary guar
dams of their industry. The nobleman,
however, is only following historic pre-
cedent. Something like $50 years ago
another Earl of Pembroke-tenth OF the
name-saved the business from ex-
tinctaon III much the same fashion when
it was beset with financial difficulties.

Relics of the Bard

Not long ago the Earl of Pembroke
had a special search made in all the
hooks and crannies of the great pile for
relics OF the bard, but nothing that
could be distinctly associated with him
was found. One great treasure, how
yer. was unearthed- That was a lock of
Queen EliZabeth's hair, given by her to
Sir Philip Sidney, and the verses in
which he acknowledged his thanks for
the gift. The hair is bright yellow and
the Virgin Queen must have had lot
Of Il, judging by the generous sample
she bestowed on the gallant courtier.
Oddly enough, though this lock of hair
had been overlooked by the family for
nearly 300 years. its presence in the
house was a treasured tradition among
the servants. The legend was handed
down from housekeeper TO housekeeper,
and though, when 1t was found, the
then housekeeper had never seen it she
knew ali about it's history.
