Report That The King VIII Honor
The Future Husband of The
American
MONARCH AIDED THE MATCH.
Hubert is One of The Closest Personal
Friends of the British
Ruler.
AIDED THE MATCH.

bodys tongue is busy over the coming !
marriage Of Jean Reid and Hon. John |
Hubert Ward, brother of the Earl OF |
Dudley. With the exception of the |
Earl of Dudley himself, who is fabu- |
| lousy wealthy, the members of his !
| family have not any too much of the |
worlds goods. AS matter of fact the |
daughter of the American ambassador
could have had her pick of a dozen of !
the most eligible bachelors in the |
| United Kingdom. 1t would be inter !
esting to hear what Lord Acheson |
Lord Dalmeny, son and heir of Lord !
| Roseberry, and the youthful Duke OF
Leinster, all of whom have ben cast
ing sleeps eyes in the direction OF
the fascinating Miss Reid, said when |
they heard the news.
Gossip says that the King will con-
fer a title on the prospective BRIDE
groom. His Majesty would be thus not
only honoring his personal friend, but
would be also paying a pretty compli-
ment to the American ambassador and
| his daughter, whom he admires very
| greatly. For many years the Dudleys
nave been on terms of the closest
friendship with both the King and the
Queen, and it is said that Hon. John,
who is equerry to the King, is his
closest friend and confidant What he
| doesn't know about the Kings private
affairs is not worth going out of the
way to discover His knowledge of
what is going on about his majesty
is said to surpass even that Of Lord
Knollys, the Kings private secretary.
There is a further bond of affection
between the royal family and the
future husband of Jean Reid in the
person of the Dowager Countess Of
Dudley, the mother of John Ward. She
is an especial chum of both the King
and Queen and has a house in Rich
mond Park for ljfe-a gift of the
former. Incidentally, she is still one
of the most beautiful women in Eng
lish society. The King knew how mat
ters stood for sometime past, and ma
terially assisted his equerry in his eff
/ forts to win the hand of the popular
American. His majesty and Jean Reid
had a long confidential chat on the
subject at Biarritz couple of weeks
ago.
Lady Naylor Leyland, who was Jen-
ME Chamberlain of Cleveland before
her marriage, is having no little trou-
BILE with her son, Sir Herbert Naylor
Leyland. The fond mother has already
mapped out a career for her offspring.
Ever since he has been examining him
full of politics, and she intends that
he shall some day be Prime Minister.
At any rate, she has been leaving no
stone unturned toward that end. But
unfortunately for this American
womans ambitions her American
youngster, who is but II, has ideas of
his own on the subject of a career and
has definitely and determinedly decided
| upon the army He has been influenced
: in this by his pal, Prince Edward OF
Wales, future King of Great Britain
who although he is now cadet at the
Naval College, is nevertheless destined
for the army. To add to the poor
10 mothers distracted state of mind, hel
10 second son has hit upon the navy and
u refuses to relinquish the idea.
1t is not very long ago that there
was considerable speculation as tC
Lady Naylor Leyland's future. Those
who pretended to know said that a GER
l. tain famous author was shortly to be
o. come the second husband of the Anne
l. rican woman. Since her late husbands
y death the pretty widow has fought sh!
s of man in general. Society has seeI
81 precious little of her and it is a grea
pity, for there are few better houses
Il in London for entertaining than Hyd
% Park House, her town residence.
Winston Churchill's bank account il
low and his pay as Cabinet Ministe
u will come in handy to keep the vol
= from the door, so to speak For thu
past ten or twelve years he has woTket
hard in politics for the love of thu
work. At this moment he could haV
4 his pick of halt dozen heiresses 10
the mere asking. But our Winston
is not a marrying man. He says he /
rs too busy to give the gentle passions
single thought
1t is said that Mignon Nevada, tn
! American prima donna, carries abou
with her at least thirty mascots ant

success of her recent debut in Rome
Those who heard her mother, Emm
Nevada, sing when she was at her hes
y and have also heard the daughter sa,

Q to think that the girl was sure to be
