visconnts and OF barons When she
married the late Lord Chesham who

manned commoner his wife, Lady Err

! precedence as tile daughter of the
Duke Of Bedford whereas If he had
F.! been created a baron she would have
| beeu forced to descend to the rank OF
| baroness.

several tragedies. Her youngest daugh-
| tor. Marjorie, was killed at the age OF
nine. In a particularly shocking fash

while serving as officer Of the

War, in which her husband took an
active part, and in which she herself
| did excellent service in connection with

breaking his neck. lust four years ago.
