Of William X. Vanderbilt, she was only eighteen
years old when In 1895 she married the Duke Of
Marlborough. Her splendid fortune was used in
part to pay the debts OF the young duke and to
rehabtate his mansions and estates and for n
time the union was happy one. King Edward
was much impressed by the charm OF the Ameri-
can girl and her position in British society was
assured. But the duke failed to appreciate the
kindness OF fortune In giving him so sweet and
