ham. the great polo clubs headquar-
tiers, this year out of pure curiosity
to see the Duchess of Roxburghe gaZ-
ing with rapt admiration as the duke
plays. He acquits himself remark
ably well, but this does not alter the
fact that 1t is regarded as quaint in
the extreme to find a society woman
going two and three times a week,
whatever the weather, to see her own
husband play, AS he does so she has
eyes for no one else. There she sits
in the gale or rain with eyes riveted
upon one figure. Men have been say
ing he ought to be proud man and
there are few who have been posi-
lively touched by 1t. On the other
hand there are women who laugh and
regard the duchess behavior as scream
ingly funny 1t has been said that she
is setting a fashion. Somebody UNDER
took to tell the king the affair as
joke. His majesty, however, turned
round and said. II see nothing to laugh
AT. On the contrary. think the story
sounds charming"
GEMS GALORE.
The duke has quite got over his aver
sion to seeing his wife covered with
jewels. One time there used to be a great
deal of trouble about this. AT several
of the great royal parties this year the
Duchess of Roxburghe has been the OBJ
served of all observers. cutting out
completely every princess of the blood
and the queen herself. There are scores
of women who would look outrageously
vulgar We're they to AIRY themselves
with gems as this duchess does. She,
however, manages always to look re-
fined though almost every inch of her
gown glitters with diamonds She has
had a new set of emeralds this season
which have literally done for" the
emeralds of every woman in England
Six immense stones each as big as
a small plum have been decorating the
front of her corsage. and her necklace
and crown of diamonds and emeralds
have made up the set. a good judge
assures me that these Jewels are worth
something between 100000 and 100000.
