Arthur has lost his heart to the clever
and bea utiful daughter of Il family which
however exalted it may be. cannot lay
claim TO the supreme term royal The
fair maid is Lady Marjorie Manners, cid
est daughter of the Duke and Duchess OF
Rutland, and the direct descendant Of
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall. The
enga cement of the young couple has
often been announced. and as OFTEN
denied by the ROYAL family, which has
other plans for Prince Arthur. At one
time ii was even reported that at last the
Young prince had overcome the objections
of the late King Edward and would soon
marry the dukes daughter, but the report
proved untrue Like his sister, however
who has been faithful through thick and
thin to the Marquis of Anglesey, Prince
Arthur has declared that if he cannot
marry Lady Marjorie he will remain SIN
gle and single ne has remained despite
the frantic effort made by the royal rela-
tives to force him into political mar
rage.
There are however. few of his royal
relatives who sympathiZe with Prince
Arthur in his affair of the heart. Chief
among them is the Duchess OF Argyll,
daughter of Queen Victoria. When the
present Duchess of Rutland was young
girl her father was an attache of the
court. and she became close friend of
the younger children of the late queen.
The friendships she then made have sur
vived the intervening years. and the
Duchess of Argyll would like nothing bet
ter than to see the daughter of her chum
married into the royal family.
The Lady Marjorie is really beauti-
full young girl 1t is the usual thing to
extend to daughters of ducal house the
compliment of personal beauty, irreSpec-
tive of their real claims to the distinction.
But Lady Marjorie and her two younger
sisters inherited from both their mother
and father an unusual share of the gen
zine article in good looks. From their
mother they inherited. also. more than
common lot of brains, and Lady Mar
jorie is good amateur actress and
conversationalist of society-wide repute

Prince Arthur is q tall, slight, hand

has never been accused of being a flirt. it

The tuna exists on the Atlantic side. but
nowhere are the conditions favorable in
