LADY ANGLESEY
bidozc Of the Marquis About
to Wed.

Copyright, 1909. by the Brentwood Company
me widowed Marchioness OF Anglesey,
daughter OF Sir George Chetwynd and OF
tne iate Marehioness of Hastings. has just
announced her engagement to John Francis
Grey Gllliat. son of the late Howard Gilliat
OF Honington Hail. Shipston-on-S -Stour
Warwickshire. Her former matrimonial
experiences were of the most extraordinary
character For, marrying the late Lord
Anglesey. who was her first cousin. ia 1886,
she brought 4 suit for nulIity OF marriage
IN 1900 which was granted Then, in 1901,
she petitioned that the decree OF nullity
should be set aside. This also was granted.
1leR she separated from her husband, and
tnally became reconciled to him short
time before his death. The late Lord st.
Heller (better known as Sir Francis Jeune)
was wont TO declare that during the many
years OF his Presidency OF the Divorce
Court he never had before him such
extraordinary petitions as those OF the
young Afarcfioness Of Anglesey.
The uarchiones5, who is a convert 10 the
Roman Catholic Church. Is above the
medium height, has 4 very graceful figure,
with hair a lovely shade OF red, and an
exquisite complexion. She was as extrava-
CANT in her way as her late husband, but
was never subjected to the same financial
difficulties as those which he was called
upon to Undergo. the allowance settled
upon her at the time OF her marriage
amounting to $4,000 . year which she has
always received Independently OF her hus-
bands creditors and obligations, and which
she will continue 10 enjoy until the end OF
her days. She also owns some OF the most
gorgeous Jewels In existence especially
emeralds. For however foolish her hus-
bqa ba in
his knowledge OF precious stones.
There are soma that ascribe her diff
culties with her husband to the influence OF
the late Princess Frederick HohenIohe,
daughter Of Count Paul Hatzfeldt, who died
as German Ambassador in London, and of
his American wife, Helen Meulton. Certain
l. was that they were very intimate with
one another and that the princess's infiu-
ehce was not ia favor OF the marquis. II
vas, indeed. alleged in London that she was
bent on bringing about a dissolution of
Lady Anglesey's union and her subsequent
marriage with Count Hermann Hatzfeldt:
that is TO say. the brother Of the princess.
Count Hat1feldt has fortune, and mas
much as the $4,000 year possessed by
Lady Anglesey is in the form of a settle
nent. and not of jointure, she does not
forfeit ii on her remarriage.
The reconcilia ton of the young couple
some months before Lord Anglesey's death
followed after his demise by an an
nouncement on the part of his widow that
she expected 10 become a mother. an an
Louncement which led TO some delay in the
assumption by the present marquis OF the
family honors. But the expectations of
Lady Anglesey were doomed to disappoint-
ment. and she had TO remain content with
the little girl whom her husband adopted
a couple of years before his death, and
Of whom she assumed charge when she
became a widow. Lady Anglesey IS a sis
ter Of Guy Chetwynd, whose marriage with
Miss Secor. of New York was dissolved
not long ago by the English courts.
