Concerning Lady FitzgeorEe."
In view OF the stories which are be-
ing published all over the country to
the effect that Lady FitZgeorge," who
for tho past two years has been max
ing her home in this country. and who
is now living at hotel in the suburbs
of New York, is about to bestow her
hand upon an American. It may be Just
as well TO explain her relationship to
the reignlng house of England. To
begin with, she has no title whatso-
ever. and her correct designation Is
Mrs George William Augustus Fitz-
george" Her second husband died in
Switzerland about four years ago and
was the eldest of the three sons OF
Cambridge, by the latter's union with the
Irish actress, Miss Louise Farebrother.
the union being Invalid In the eyes OF
English law and the sons as such, de-
barred from inheriting any of their
fathers honors.
The late Colonel Fitzgeorge did not
share the regard which his two young
er brothers enjoyed on the part of the
King and of the remainder of the royal
family, and while they figured con-
spicuously at the state funeral of the
old duke, at which King Edward was
chief mourner. Colonel Fitzgeorge. who
was alive at the time. was relegated 70
| the background and had no place in
the procession. Moreover, his two
younger brothers received titles from
the King, together with the Star of the
Victorian Order. one becoming Sir
Adolphus Fitzgeorge and the other Sir
Augustus FitZgeorge. But Colonel
George Fitzgeorge remained without
any such token Of royal favor and rev
cognition.
The fact of the matter is. that the
colonel had been a good deal of thorn
In the side OF his royal father and OF
the other members OF the reigning
family, by reason of his foolish specu-
lations and extravaganza, which forced
him to leave the army and which land-
ed him in the bankruptcy court, with

george was extrlcated from his difil-
culties, but to the end of his days
seemed to be always imbued with the
belief that he could restore his shatter-
ed fortunes by .embarking in the most

was married to the widow of Captain
