hoCHEFoRTs CLOSEST FRIEND A DUKE.
IL Is curious that although Henri Rocheforts
family should have been despoiled Of the Chateau
! or Na!encay and Of so much of its wealth by the
Ialleyrand-Pergord family his most intimate
! friend and associate should be the Marquis de
/ Ia!leyTand-Pergord, Due de Dino. who enjoys the
questionable distinction Of having married two
American women in turn and OF having been di-
vorced by each OF them. One of these women still
continues TO use the title of Marquise de Talley-
rand -Perigord. her husband being a marquis be-
fore he succeeded 10 his fathers dukedom His
second wife has assumed. In accordance with tie
French law of the present day. her maiden name,
and lives IN New York Mrs. Adele Sampson
The tastes of the Due de Dino and OF the Mar
quis de Rochefort similar many respects.
They both quite the reverse of domestic, they
| are each Of them IN spite Of their lineage and
certain patTcian mannerisms and prejudiCes radi-
Gals in politics to the extent OF socialism, and
they both possess most extraordinary knowledge
and experience in everything relating 10 art and
archaeology. Many OF the art treasures OF the
/ duke have found their way to this country at
time another. and may be seen In private coll
/ lections and public institutions. notably IN the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Like
