Washington, Nov. 13.-Members

The Dukes of Norfolk moved into st.
James Square. which Harry Fermyn,
Earl of St Albans. had built as a
building speculation. after leaving their
ancestral home in what is now Norfolk
reign of Charles II. The great fire OF
London had forced the population west
ward, the nobility in particular, and it
was to the very center of wealth and
rank that the eighth duke came from
his more antiquated abode on the river.
The ninth duke loaned this new house
of his to Frederick, Prince of Wales.
when the latter's quarrel with his
father, George II. deprived the prince
of the use of one of the royal resi-
dences. In the following year the
baby was born at Norfolk House who
was afterward to reign for sixty years
as George Ill The Duke of York, sec
ond son of Frederick and Augusta.
Prince and Princess of Wales, was also
born al Norfolk House, and soon after
ward a peace was patched up with the
king. and the royal trespassers on the
dukes hospitality moved back into
Leicester House.
This ninth Duke of Norfolk. on his
return to his own abode made i'm
mense additions and Improvements to
the building, fashionng it. in fact,
practically as it stands today. He
lived to great age. and played
prominent part in the high life of his
time. He could remember no less than
six sovereigns. and lived to see the
faith of his fathers severely repressed
under the Protestant monarchs who
succeeded England's last Roman Catho-
lie king. In later years many brilliant
entertainments in honor of Roman
Catholic dignitaries have been given at
Norfolk House One of them was a
complimentary reception to Cardinal
Newman when he returned from Rome
Leo XIII, a distinction. it is said which
the cardinal owed to the great influence
of the present duke, who was one of
his keenest admirers.
At this reception an amusing episode
occurred. The cardinal, who had been
for some time standing in one of the
saloons talking to those about him,
presently espied a chair and essayed to
seat himself on it. At this moment a
woman we'll known as leader of So
ciety stepped hastily forward and by
pulled the chair suddenly away. the
result being that his eminence subsided
slowly on the floor, his voluminous
pink robes floating balloonwise around
him. Fortunately he was more startled
than hurt.
The great part which the family of
Norfolk, or. properly. that of Howard,
Evening star., 1916-07-30

has played in the history of England is
familiar tale. There is a duke of the
title in Henry VIII" the Shakespeare
play in which Sir Herbert Tree was
seen so recently, and to such effective
purpose, in New York. \ Howard won
the battle of Flodden Field. and an
other, the first TO bear the title of Duke
of Norfolk, fell at Bosworth fighting
in the van of the army of Richard Ill.
The duke who was Queen Elizabeth's
earl marshal later developed into one
of her most powerful enemies. and, had
his plans been successful il is not
impossible that, intead of his successor
of today giving effect TO the commands
of royalty. he himself might have
needed the services of an earl marshal
to issue his orders as king. Instead,
however. as the result of his com
munications" with Mary Queen of
Scots. this duke, the fourth. was be-
headed, and his son died prisoner in
the tower. Similar fates befell many
of their kinsmen. In fact, scarcely a
generation of the early branches of the
family failed to supply either victim
to the headsman or wretched prisoner
to the tower dungeons.
Arundel Castle, the medieval pile
which is the country seat of the Duke
of Norfolk. dates from the time of
Alfred the Great. the earliest mention
of ii being in that kings VIII when
he bequeathed il to his nephew Ath-
nelm. For 500 years the castle has been
the seat of the Earls of Arundel. yet,
curiously enough, the little boy who
now bears that title is the first Of his
long line who ever has been born
within the castles walls.
The great baron's hall at Arundel is
the largest room in any private house
in England. and 400 persons can dance
in it with comfort Visitors. too. are
always interested in the grand banquet
ing room, which contains some of the
finest fifteenth century Gothic work in
the centenary of the signing of the
Magria| Charta was held in 1915, when
900 -noblepHen. were present. The noble
castle with its ancient battlements,
stands high above the park of Arundel,
with its herds of deer and clusters of
noble trees which sweeps upward to
the Sussex Downs. Close by is the Ro-
man Catholic Church of ST. Philip Neri,
which was built by the present duke at
a cost of more than 100000.
One more entertaining little story by
way of conclusion. The late Lord
Lyons presented the Duke of Norfolk
were named after the donor and his
wife. 1t was hoped that these birds
would perpetuate their species at
Arundel, but for some time this hope
did not appear likely to be realized.
This, no doubt. accounts for the excite
ment with which a man servant bus
tied up to the duke one day with the
breathless announcement:
IF you please, your grace, Lord
Lyons has laid a hegg."

tirely unrecognized, apparently, by the
man in the street.
The duke is too short and stocky to
be a really impressive figure. but he
has a fine face, and, with his hair and
beard of Jet black in spite of his years.
he looks for all the world like a Rem
brandt portrait. II is evident that he
has "spruced up since his last mar
regardful of his dress than perhaps any
other member of the peerage. and has
often been described as the worst
dressed man in England"
Many and mirth- provoking are the
stories of the blunders that have re-
suited from the dukes love-n the
past at any rate-of wearing the oldest
and shabbiest "duds" in his wardrobe
There was once when his grace had
agreed to distribute the prizes at a
convent. Instead of driving to the place
he walked up quietly and was met in
the grounds by the FORTRESS. My good
man." she said. you ought to know
that we do not distribute relief on
day such as this quite so. sister,"
said the duke, but you do distribute
prizes and I have come to distribute
them for you
At another time the duke was stand
ing outside the railway station at
Arundel, awaiting a guest who was
coming up for the week end, when
woman came out hurriedly. The first
person she noticed was the duke. Evil
IDENTIFY he was then keeping up his
reputation as the worst dressed man in

pierced. and for a long time wore it
on his watch chain.
In Rome another woman once accost-

are one of Cooks men, aren't you?

another occasion a butchers boy at

all of no purpose. He got no better
and died al the age of twenty-three.
In the meanwhile the duke also lost his

this double bereavement, he, the
master of nearly 100000 acres and an
