Lady Owens Awkward Position.
Rarely has a bride-eIect found herself
in a more awkward position than that
which confronts Lady Gwendohne BERTHE
on her marriage with lack Churchill
Lady Owen has always been a special
favorite of the duchess Of Marlborough
but IL will be impossible FOR her to invite
her grace to her wedding as some of the
Churchill family are at daggers drawn
with the duchess.
Jack Churchill and the duchess are on
friendly terms, but his older brother
winston, and their mother, Mrs. George
! West. are the bosom friends OF the duke
OF Marlborough and ever since the separs-
ton have sided absolutely with him. There
is no actual enmity In this quarter but they
have let Il be seen unmistakably that they
are on the dukes side Of the hedge. The
duke has OF late gone out of his way TO
honor Lady Randolph Churchill that was
and she has been constantly spending week
ends at Bernhetm Palace, where house par
{ ties have been the order OF the day during
this summer Lady Randolph, as her inti-
mates still call her, has often acted as
I hostess for the duke at these gatherings.
His mother. the marchioness OF Blandford,
is Invariably conspicuous by her absence,
though his sister, Norah, OCCASIONALLY puts
in an appearance. Lady Blandford still
sands firmly b. her daughter-in-law. the
duchess. and win not be drawn from her
side. LADY MARY.

Omaha Girls Experience at Quebec Precautionary Celebration

were presented. Some made the court
bow, Fairbanks and a few others shook
hands and sat on the princes right for IA
few moments. We got hons at 5 o'clock
in the morning and saw our first sunrise
on the St Lawrence. Although We were
a trifle weary We appreciated it hugely.
Joe Barker came down from Montreal
Sunday morning. We made him stay over
Monday. too. SO that he could see the
pageants. In the morning we all went
on the New Hampshire, as Joe Barker
knew a Mr.. Hird on board. The said
gentleman proved TO be a very attractive
westerner from South Dakota, a Kraduate
from Annapolis and now assistant navi-
gator on the New Hampshire. He knows
Omaha quite well and a lot OF people
there. Yesterday afternoon he invited us
TO go on board the New Hampshire again,
and We we're treated right royalty. Then
he took US, with AlbeTtque Parent out To
the falls, where we dined together. Tho
New Hampshire is a ship OF Is, 900 tons,

il lie not a flagship. Rear Admiral coWtes
was aboard for the celebrations. There

Miss Helen Clare Woodward, daughter
OF Assistant Postmaster Woodward, was
in Quebec during the tercentenary cele-
and writes the following account
OF the proceedings, as she viewed them. to
her brother. James. The letter is repro
duced entire, save for the omission OF some
matters intended solely for family reading:
We have had now almost two weeks of
as near unadulterated bliss as it is expedi-
ent for mOrtals to experience. Our trip
coming was most successful, with the usual
crowd Of Omaha people on the Milwaukee,
including the Pecks. Daugherties and Wal
lace Lyman. On the Grand Trunk Wallace
Lyman was with US until Toronto. Then
in Montreal we met Joe Barker. Then we
met some Canadians we had known before
on the way from Montreal TO Quebec-sO
YOU see our trip was delightful through
Aout.
Now, where shall | begin to- give some
little idea OF the things we have done and
seen? The pageants out on the Plains OF
Abraham, all replete with history Itself.
were wonderfully beautiful. giving the en-
tire history Of Canada from the time OF is
discovery by Jacques Car,ler to the peace
after the war when Canada was lost to
France forever. These psgeants were per-
fectly conducted under the direction OF a
Mr.. Lascelles, from London, who con-
Quoted the Golden Jubilee celebrations
there OF the late queen. and also the cor
Nonation ceremonies n King Edward, so II
is easy to imagine on what a sumptuous
and elegant scale they were conducted.
over 1900 people in appropriate costumes
for the different periods enacted a scene
dear to Canadian hearts and touching in
its beauty and associations to all behold
ers. These pageants have been going on
every afternoon for TWO weeks. A grand
stand o. great proportions, capable u hold
ing 1000. accommodates the throngs. The
stand was erected by a contractor. who re-
ceived $500 and keeps the wood after
wards. II you could see how safe and

we'll tell you that the enthusiasm WaXed
high, his royal highness, himself, telling
a Mr.. Cernesu Of Quebec that there was
a lump in his throat that would not go
down. Really it vas the most perfect
spectacular display that | ever care to
witness outside of heaven. and 1 believe
il must have rivaled even the famous
Passion Play itself at Oberammergau.
On Wednesday. July ~, we witnessed
the arrival of lie Prince de Gales" from
the roof of Mr.. Audette's store. 1t was
a sight, indeed. with eleven warships in
the harbor, each firing a salute OF TWEEN
ty-one guns. with twenty-One more from
the citadel of Quebec. As SOM as he
stepped on the Kings wharf, which was
elegantly decorated for the occasion, as
if by magic all the bells and whistles
pealed over the city and the fleets and
yachts in the harbor were in full dress
with all the flags OF nations known and
unknown TO me, His royal highness ar
rived on the famous Indomitable, which is
a sort OF mystery to all the other ships
here-at least so an officer of the United
state ship New Hampshire was telling US.
1t Is an enormous battleship, carrying
tweIve-inch guns. and stlll it makes TWEEN
ty-five knots an hour. while all the other
big ships carrying such guns can never
POSSIBLY exceed eighteen knots. l nave
become a little nautical and I'm very
thankful that l know now a very few
things about ships, etc.
Prince n Good cooker.
When the prince landed ne was escorted
in parade throughout the city and seemed
very gracious and al ease. He is a good
looking chap enough, ami somewhat
younger than / had given him credit for.
We nave seen so much or MIN that We do
not even try To be respectful The people
here, somehow or other, sdo not like him as
they do his father. The demonstration over
him alone was not exceedingly great. and
everyone knocked him openly right and

when he came out OF church Sunday, like
a plain clothes man, in frock coat and
gray gloves and high gray hat, than in all
his military spieudor as The prime OF Wales.
