of the duke who married Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt, having met him in
France while on a trip around the
world on her fathers yacht. She
was one of the first modern Amer
lean women to marry an English no
bleman. Following her marriage,
Lady Randolph became much inter-
ested in politics, and her husband
was soon one Of the most successful
politicians of his day. He continued
to be a leader in the House of Com
mons until shortly before his death.
in 1895.

Churchill, his widow caused a sem
sation in London society by announc-
