The Countess of Seton, who re-
Gently shot her first lion in Abys-

lady who has accomplished this un-
feminine feat.
Mrs. Alan Gardner, accompanied
by her late husband, explored not
only India but the widest and most
remote parts of Africa, including
Somaliland, in search of big game,
and is one of the very few women
living who have hunted both lions
and tigers.
Another adventurous sportswoman
In society is the Duchess of Somer-
set, who has not only hunted bears
in the Western wilds of America but
perfectly revels in the rough life
of camp and is an expert in camp

who are equally daring shots, spent
