COUNTESS OF WARWICK

An event of interest will take place at
the BClascO Thcatcr next Friday AFTER
noon at , O'Clock, when the Countess of
Warwick will deliver a lecture on Per
sonal RcCollcCtions OF Famous People.
There is probably no one on the lecture
platform today who is better equipped,
from standpoint of personal assoCia-
ton and Drilliancy of personality, to
speak on such a subject. Her beauty
had made her famous throughout all
Europe before her adoption of Social
ism made her the subject of widespread
discussion.
Tn" countess is a sister of Lady Al
gcrnon-Gordon Lennon, and is a half
sister TO the Duchess OF Sutherland. In
addition to the ordinary charities which
a woman of her class maintains, she
has established various schools to
which she gives personal super
vision ON her Essex estate she found
ed an agricultural school for boys and
girls. Better known. perhaps, is her
Lady Warwick College, school for
girls alone.
TO widen her activities in these mat
ters and to establish newspaper TO
further her political and soctalistic
views requires vast funds, and TO this
end she has just arrived here from Eng
land to deliver a series of thirty lee
lures.
