SOCIETY MATCHMAKER
FINDS THE HUSBANDS
10, Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF lue StaE.
LONDON. July 80. 1909.
YOT in the memory OF the most ex-
nj perienced matrons has there been
= such a season for matchmaking as
that which Is just closing, and never has
there been such an opportunity for the
person calling herself society woman"
to increase her income by a matrimonial
turn over at the bargain counter at
Burkes.
But she must evolve and develop new
ideas. Old birds in the shape of cha
perons and rich American mothers won't
be caught unless the proper inducements
are used. The lady who undertakes to
make matches-this delicate profession is
rarely pursued by a man-must be able
to prove that she is on intimate terms
with q cabinet minister or duchess as
a testimonial that she Is in the right SET
One very fl0urishdng agency Is run with
In a stones throw of Grosvenor Square.
The ostensible object of the institution is
Ito teach wealthy Americans and women
of other foreign nations British court
and social etiquette and the art Of good
conversation. Incidentally a number Of
distinguished. titled and other men drop
pupils are made In the most natural way.
It is said thu behind this school is a
syndicate Of society celebrities who divide
the spols after alliances have been ar
ranged.
Here is an advertisement which ap-
peared in a morning paper recently:
TITLED lady and gentleman of high po-
sition. large establishment, motor cars.

society. LADY care Of Willings.'
| The advertiser received over fifty an
! swers, many of which were from Ameri-
cans. Little did those who tried to avail
themselves of the offer know that the adj
vertiser was the wife OF a dilapidated
| knight whose effects were sold two days
before the announcement appeared. Moth
ing daunted. her ladyship proceeded to q
| store and ordered on the hire system
some far more elaborate furniture than
that sold up." The automobiles mention
ed in the advertisement were also hired
! by the hour, as were the very servants.
/, Upstairs her fadyship sat In state in a
bower of flowers. She took care to show
kindly little note she had received some
time previously from Mrs. Joseph Cham
,, across Charing Cross platform just as a
continental train was about to start in
order to procure some newspapers the ex-
cabinet minister required. With the news
SO. of course. Mrs. Chamberlain felt 1t
duty to write and thank her.
Some Of her friends recently played
practical joke on another society match
maker. They told her that Miss Mary
Pullman, daughter of the inventor of the
railway carriage of that name. was in
London, and that she wanted chaperoning
and introducing. When Lady x arrived
at Claridge's she was shown to the rooms
Of Miss Mary Pullman. an calculated
turbed and in the most diplomatic man
ner she explained her mission. Not one
word did the other reply but when her
ladyship had finished she opened the door
and pointed to the stairs.
Notwithstanding the vulgarity and the
undesirabilty of the Vaccinations of the
professional matrimonial agent. 1t Is to be
admitted that several quite satisfactory
alliances have been brought about
through her. A certain Irish peeress who

"The DEVILS own"
From London Ideas.


Sir Lees Knowles who is taking SO
keen and helpful an interest in territorial
affairs. was born in 1857. He was the
eldest son Of the late John Knowles,
one-time high sheriff of Lanca-
shire-an office which has since been held
by Sir Lee Knowles brother. L. X,
as he is affectionately called by his
friends. was educa ed at Rugby and
Cambridge, where he was chiefly distin-
guished for his brilliancy in athletics.
There is hardly game or sport in which
Sir Lees does not excel; indeed. he is
living instance Of the theory that a
man who is brilliant in one branch of
sport can easily turn his hand to another.
After graduating. Sir Lees was called to
the bar. and on entering Lincoln's Inn at
once joined the Inns Of Court corps
commonly known as 1.-The DEVILS Own"
This appellation is rather startling to
those who do not know volunteer. NOM
enclature. but is Of no terrible import to
the initiated. The tale goes that one of
the Georges, at the review, passed his
royal glance over the smart well-set-up
Inns Of Court corps and. turning to his
aid-de-camp. asked what calling the
men followed. They are lawyers, your
jesty," was the answer. 'Then," said
the genial monarch. ''call them The
Devils own" and 1.-THE DEVILS Own
they are to this day. Sir Lees was
created a baronet in 1893. and is unmar-
ried. Some time ago he bought Turton
Towers. medieval place near Bolton.
