The. transition FROM London society
to an American workshop and business
enterprise is interesting. Lady Aucll-
land told the story.
She is the daughter of Colonel George
M. Hutton, G.. B., a great landowner
and a noted military man. Her mother
was a granddaughter of Arkwright. the
inventor, and on both sides Of her fam
lily she is descended from distinguished
forbears.
"My early youth was spent at the
old abbey Of Knauth, on the banks Of
the river Trent" she said. 1T was a
the Stuart period, built on the site OF
the Cistercian monastery RACED by
Henry VIII.
II had a very unhappy childhood, as
my mother never forgave me for being
born a girl, not even up to the time of
my marriage.
II married when l was only nineteen
years old, but my married life was not
a happy one. l had luxuries and all
the advantages that social position can
give, but my home life was not happy.
My two boys were born nearly three
years apart, and l became completely
absorbed in them.
II had a fearful shock in 1904 when
I discovered that my husband had lost
money OF the Stock Exchange-all our
moneys that were not in trust.
"Our beautiful home at Gravenhurst
had to be sold and with it many Of it's
world famed art treasures, including
gifts from Marie Antoinette to the
Lord Auckland Of that time. who was
ambassador to France.
81 found that unless l worked we
could not keep our eldest son at Elton,
and to take him from there at that
time would have ruined his career.
II went to work as designer to a
large electrical firm andsremained With
it until I got a better position with
a well known firm Of metal workers in
London. BY this means 1 succeeded In
keeping my Oldest boy at Elton until he
left in the ordinary course for the
examinations for the army.
Shortly after this time our dear old
aunts died, n We were once again
comfortably off and bought a heavenly
place in the Isle of Wight. This house
formerly belonged to Dickens, and here
he wrote many of his works. The
house was low, with a velvet lawn
sloping to the edge Of the steep cliff
overlooking the channel. From this
place we saw the Olympic pass and the
i'll fated Titanic on her fatal voyage.
Here We lived some years until Lord
Auckland again lost money.
after years Of sorrow there was &
elimination. I was only second fiddle,
SO my son and I made up our minds to
come to America, where he decided to
take up aviation.
my Oldest son was killed at st. Eloi
near Ypres, on March 1, 1915, with two
of his brother officers while leading
their detachment to take some trench
es. He was a lieutenant In tho Six
tieth Royal rifles, having been appoint
ed to that regiment by, King George
IN 1914 after he had pasted through
the Military college at 6~andhurst."

Tablespoon Used as a Substi-

In an emergency the ordinary table.

by turning the lemon around the end
Of the spoon. says Popular Mechanics.
