The feature which makes the
visit more interesting is the fact
that Lord Ker will neither affirm
nor deny that he is bent upon a
matrimonial venture.
OF course, we believe, from
former like experiences that the
many wealthy dowagers will treat
him with pomp and glory and place
him upon pedestal, but just sup
pose he came to Spokane, how
would our popular society maids
treat his noble lordship? Read
what some of they say.
Mrs. Seth Richards: "Of course.
/ have never met a titled person,
but | have no doubt but what there
are some who are honorable,
worthy men, and for this reason l
don't feel inclined to say that all
are unworthy of American girls.
The fact that SO many unions be-
tween American heiresses and
titled men have been unhappy nat
urally makes one fear the results.
However" said Mrs. Richards,

characteristic of her, Il can't speak
from any personal experience, be-
cause, as | said before, | have never

she meant.
