ways of the smart set palled on her,
and she sought more serious work as
an outlet for her energies.
For years she has busted herself
with a multitude of philanthropies
and with studies into economic condi-
tions. Her observations and sympa-
thies have led her to espouse the So
cialist cause, and she now finds her
self in rather an anomalous position as
a woman of wealth and title and at
the same time an advocate of system
which is built upon the idea of aboli-
ton of all distinctions of rank and
riches. She has thus far endeavored to
reconcile the apparent inconsistencies
Of her position by using her wealth
and influence to advance the theories
which appeal to her interest and i'm
prove the condition of the working
people of her country. 1t Is said that
one of her objects In visiting America
Is to observe the workings of the pub
lie ownership principle where 1t has
been tried here. She is woman Of
much culture and charm of manner,
and her husbands ancestral home,
Warwick castle, is one Of the most
famous places in England.

Famous English Society Leader and
Socialist, Who Is Now In America.

Socialist, Who is Now In America.
The Countess of Warwick, who ar.
rived in America a short time ago,
does not court publicity during her
visit, but the facts pertaining to her
career make it natural the people Of
this country should be interested In
her. To begin with, the circumstance
that she is Socialist is enough to
mark her out as an individual of un-
usual character. Nor is she crank or
anarchist by any means in appearance.
Her beauty was the talk Of England
when she was younger, and she retains
her good looks still to remarkable
degree. She was at one time In high
favor with the king. then Prince of
Wales. and was considered one Of the
cleverest women in society. But the
