Everything Well Arranged.
Those who know of Mr. Guggenheim S
open-handcd hospitality, will readily un-
derstand that everything was perfectly
arranged, and all agreed that better
grouse shooting and salmon fishing have
never been experienced.
The Countess Of Lanesborough. whose
daughter recently married the MARQUIS OF
Stafford. the Duke of Sutherland son
and heir, was the guest of honor she
will present Miss Guggenheim at one OF
next years courts.
Mrs Guggenheim, who is very beau
tiful woman wore some wonderful Paris
ian toilets and jewels in the evening.

Lady Maitland Pleased.
Lady Maitland, who is almost as well
known in New York as in London So
ciety, is immensely pleased at the en-
gagement of her son, the Hon Colin
Maitland, to Miss Ivy Bellrving, daugh-
ter of wealthy north country sports
man.
Lord and Lady Maitland have for many
years succeeded in keeping up appear
ances in tiny houses and yet moving
about good deal in society. Lady
Maitland made two successful visits to
New York, where she induced number
of society women to sit to her for their
miniatures. Lady Maitland is tall.
thin. esthetic looking woman. with fair
and fluffy hair. and she has cultivated
the artistic temperament to such a degree
that even experts have been deceived.
Her miniatures are not works of art.
nor would her voice nor her fancy
dancing secure professional engagements,
but she is a born manager.
Her friends. however. think she is about
to commit one of the few mistakes in
her carefully arranged career. Lord
Maitland's father. the Earl of Lauder

Castle. an immense and somewhat
gloomy residence i'm Scotland. on an at
tenuated income, derived from director
ship OF various public companies The
earl now proposes that Lord and Lady
Maitland. with their son and rich
daughter-in-law. should reside altogether
at Thirlstane. while he and the countess
remove to d smaller residence.
Miss Bellirving is very high-spirited
girl and the friends of both families ex-
press their doubts whether Thirlstane
Castle. big as it is will be large enough
to hold two mistresses who are both
born mana gers.
Fate of Stafford House.
Rumors persist as to the sale of STAFF
ford House, the palatial London resi-
dence of the Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland. but there is no truth what
ever in them for nothing has yet been
decided. The final word rests with the
Marquis of Stafford the dukes eldest
son. The duchess Is at present in Canada
with the duke and her visit will have a
decided effect one way or the other on
young Lord Stafford's decision.
The duke. of course, has invested an
immense amount of capital in Canada,
but though he is an amiable little man.
he has not a good business head on his
shoulders, unlike the duchess. who by
the successful establishment of her Bond
street shop for the sale of cripples' work
and other similar semi-charitable enter
