Lac sorrow Of Lady curzon.


From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Lady curzon has sailed away for
India, but the word comes over from
London that she did not wish to go.
She preferred to settle down in a quiet
country residence and devote herself
to the bringing up OF her children. The
life she goes TO is far different. AS the
Viceroy's wife she and her children are
to resume an existence of pomp and
ceremony and spectacular dignity. She
must preside over elaborate entertain
ments I'm honor Of native princes and
the aristocracy Of the East. She is
hedged about by court etiquette and
inhexible form.
There is an element of pathos in this
instance Of an American girl shudderng
at the life of the Vicereine. AS Mary
Letter she had independence. She
could ride horseback, hunt, row, travel
and entertain as her whims suggested.
She could revel in all the privileges Of
a simple girl I'm America. These she
gave up In part TO become the wife of
Lord Curzon. These she gave up al
together To become Vicereine Of India.
Now she wo Ke to give all her time
to her home and children and enjoy the
pleasures OF Just a mere woman, but
She cannot. She would ike TO have
the old freedom of an American girl.
But it is not for her.
