LONDON, Jan. 31.--All OF the club
folk are discussing to-day the sensa-
tional possibilities OF the divorce suit
which is to be tried this term where
in Alexander Broderick Leslie Mel
vile seeks a divorce from his wife
By naming Earl Fitzwilliam as one
of the two correspondents, the hus-
band has set the society set by the
ears.
Not only Is the Earl the holder OF
one of the richest estates in the EN-

has been notable in the history Of his
country In addition, he has had a
spectacular place in current events
His wife, who was Lady Maud Dun
das. daughter of the Marquis of Zet-
land, was the reigning beauty OF her
debut year.

The F'itZwilliam position Is so
strengthened by age and by the past
traditions of the house that the mere
mention of the Earl's name takes
with 1t shock. His old forebear,
standing by the side of William the
COnQueror, at the Battle OF hastings
In 1866, was decorated on the field
for gallant action. The Norman Duke
took his scarf from his arm and gave

fiict that marks so important an
epoch in the affairs of the human
race.
The same scarf was used three
years ago TO hold the infant heir of
the earldom when he was christen ID,
and 10000 persons took part in a
fireworks demonstration in his honor.
Sought Cocos Treasure.
on the American side the Earl will
chiefly be remembered for having
sent two expeditions in quest of the
tabled Cocos treasure. According to
an old story, when the Peruvian revo-
luton of 1920 waxed warm the veal
