Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, the
celebrated wife of John Churchill, the
first Duke of Marlborough. was born
on May %. 1860. She is usually
known by the name of Sarah Jen-
nings, her name before her marriage
to the famous duke. She was as a
young girl a member of the English
royal household, and it was at court
that the fascinating John Churchill
met her and promptly fell in love
with her. He was one of the most
charming men of his day, but Saran
was arch and quick tempered, and
did not willingly consent to marry.
There was opposition on the part of
the Churchill family. and Sarah Jen-
nings was too proud to bear this
patiently. But John Churchill was
persistent, and two years after he
first met her they were married.
Sarah, Duchess Of Marlborough, was
noted for several things. For many
years she was a great favorite of the
queen, the stubborn. stupid Anne.
Sarah was also one of the most ia.
nous beauties of her age. She was
the wife of the foremost military hero
and genius of his age, and she was
one of the most irascible women in
England.
In spite of her very bad temper the
duchess held her husbands faithful
ness and undivided devotion through
out his life. The news of the great
victory of Blenheim-the greatest
English military event for many CEN
turies-was first told in a nenciled
