MARQUIS" as the head OF the House o.
Paget has often been called. II involves,
moreover. two Of the most eminent
families in the British pcerage. and
recalls associations with royalty itself
For Sir Charles Henry Alexander
Paget. Baronet. Baron pagct, Of Beat
desert. the Earl OF Uxbridge and the
Marquis Of Anglcsey. dates his FAMILY
dignities from William Paget, the IA
,oritc Secretary Of State Of Henry
VIII. and executor Of that monarch's
will; the first Marquis OF Anglesey was
one Of the most distinguished officers
in the Peninsular War and at Water
loo. being the head OF the cavalry
forces Of Sir John Moore's and Wei
lington's armies: and the present Mar
quis was 1T one time regarded as the
prospective bridegroom of one OF the
best known royal princesses, PATSY OF
Connaught." incidentally he IS one Of
the richest peers in England. having all
income Of something like million dol
lars year. As for Lady Anglesey,
she is 4 daughter of the Duke OF Rut-
land. the head of the Manners family.
which has been one Of the proudest
and lofticst in the realm since the
days OF Henry II.
The Marquis, who is not yet thirty
years OF age, succeeded to the title
and estates on the death Of his eccen-
tric cousin, the fifth Marquis. at Monte
Carlo. in March, 1905. The latter was
bankrupt. but soon after his death
enormously rich coal mines were dis
covered and opened on the STAFFORD
shire estates, near the old family seat
& Beaudesert. On this account, as
we'll a. foi his engaging personal quail
tiles. the young Marquis quickly be-
came the quarry OF many ambitious
match making mothers. as one OF inc
most eligible and desirable parts IN
successfully with the names of score
Of young ladies'. ranging from the
Princess Patricia OF Connaught. the
cousin of King George. to Miss billie
Burke. the popular actress.
Betrothal Announcement Expected.
Four or five years ago the mutual
attraction between the beautiful and
vivacious princess Patsy" and the
Butterfly Marquis" was so marked that
announcement Of their betrothal was
confidently expected. 1t is. indeed.
widely believed that both the young
people earnestly desired the match, but
for some reason never divulged the al
fair never ripened into avowed engage
ment. It was guessed by some that
the match was abandoned because OF
the marquis's attentions TO MISS BiIIle
Burke. and there were some who went
20 far as to hint that he had, under an
ineffective disguise and under the name
OF Stanley Cary" followed that fasci-
mating actress to this country on one
of her tours. This guess had, however
no better foundation than sheer imagl-
nation. II may be added that when
Princess Patricia recently visited New
York she manifested no symptoms OF
suffering from a broken heart.
Two years ago British society was
surprised by the announcement OF the
engagement OF the marquis to Lady
Victoria Marjorie Harriet Manners, the
eldest OF the three daughters OF the
Duke OF Rutland. II was an interest
ing coincident that assiduous court
had been paid to this young lady by
Prince Arthur OF Connaught at the
