The breaking on OF a society engage
ment is a very unusual thing and no
wonder that surprise was universally
manifested when It was announced that
the marriage arranged between Sir Hin
Child and Lady Helen Grosvenor would
not take place. Sir Hin Is rich. young.
and very popular. All three attributes
would apply also to Lady Helen, whose
mother. Katharine, Duchess Of westmin-
ster. resides most OF the year at the
beautiful old Cheshire Abbey. Being one
Of the twelve children OF that strong
minded old gentleman. the late Duke Of

II has been rumored and contradlcted
and again reported that Kaiser Wilhelm
is to o<pay another visit of a purely pri-
vate nature at Lowther, where the lavish
and lorily hoSpitalities OF the sporting

ly popular peer are famed. At Lowther
everything Is done on the grand scale
always. but when royalty Is present in
a grander tone still: and gold plate at
dinner. strawberries at breakfast Gin
midwinterl. with fiunkeys galore and a
private band when required. are among
the barest unnecessaries Of nfe at Low
ther. But even to Lord Lonsdale, the
entertainment OF royalty is a financial
burden not too often to be borne. and
Il Is not every year that he returns IN
kind his annual visit TO the German Em-
peror. who. last time he spent three
days at Lowther. brought a suite OF some
FLASEUR.
