LONDON, July 22 - Young Lord
Brooke heir to the earldom of War
wick and the fine old castle and It's
10000 odd acres, is hard up. The inter-
est in that statement for American
readers lies in the fact that the pros
pective peers impeouniosity spells OPP
portunity for the American heirass.
Lord Brooke has been trying to raise
money in the city and his experience
there has convinced him that unless he
weds rich girl the financial outlook
for him is dismal one.
An American girl with a few millions
at her disposal might do a great deal
worse than marry the Warwick heir.
In fact most of the American heiresses
who in recent years have married titles
have done great deal worse-at least.

play the role of a mere titled idler. He
went out to the front during the South
African war and remained until the
fighting was over. Something over a
year ago he Joined Kuropatkin's army
in Manchuria as war correspondent and
did excellent service there. When he
returned little while ago he was sum-
moned to Buckingham palace to tell the
king all about it.
lnherits His Mothers Ability
The earl Of Warwick counts only as
Lady warwicks husband, and it IS
from his mother that Lord Brooke in
herits the qualities which may some day
confer distinction on the title that Is
coming to him. Lady Warwick's beauty
alone would have made her famous, but
it constitutes the least part of her claim
to distinction. She has been poor law
guardian and mayoress of Warwick;
she has run a millinery shop in Bond
Street. founded home for crippled
children, started an agricultural col
lege for women, written the life of
Joseph Arch. and has now turned
Socialist.
She has never tried to make money
for herself out of her enterprises. Her
fads are nearly all philanthropic and
have cost her much money. There are
half a dozen good reasons why an

Lady Bateman's Servant Troubles
Lady Bateman, formerly the rich New
York widow Mrs. Knapp has had a
hard time of 1t since she started to
housekeeping over here, In trying to
solve the servant problem to her salts
faction, but at last has got things run
ming fairly smoothly. When she took
the house she now occupies in Bruton
street, Mayfair, she expressed wish
to the outgoing tenant that the servants
should be retained for her use. But
soon after her ladyship moved in she
discovered that the English servants
did not come UP to her exacting Amer
ican requirements, and in twenty-four
hours she had cleared them all out,
The discharged servants laughed at the
predioament in which they thought
they had left their mistress.
But Lady Bateman is woman of re-
source. She looked up the house and
went to Claridge's hotel She then
communicated with fashionable reg
istry office for servants, stipulating
that none but American or French ap-
plicants for situation should be sent
to her. BY o'clock that evening the
house in Bruton street was equipped
with what Lady Bateman thought to
be the most desirable household stafr'
Some were French and some American,
but It turned out there was no entente
eordiale between them. There soon
arose q rebellion in the kitchen and her
ladyship to show her impartiality
bounced the lot the next afternoon.
She then sent over to New York fer q
complete staff OF servants.
