English society has scarcely recovered
nom the shock caused by the marriage
OF Princess Pat" to a mere navy COM
mander and now the approach OF a SIM
mar wedding gives them another de-
clded jolt. Lady Diana Manners, Eng
land's most famous beauty and daugh-
ter OF nobility's proudest duke, has be-
y,ome engaged to the son of a London
doctor.
The fortunate mar is Capt. Duff
ooper. His father is of quite ordinary

to a group Of families that feel there
- uo.,lAg higher mar themselves in
England, They feel equal to the king
and pay homage to him only on ac-
count OF his position, not because Of
his family.
Before the war Lady Diana was
known as the most capricious and ex
travagant beauty in England. She was
proud and naughty as were most Of
her family and was the leading attrac-
ton OF court functions and aristocratic
parties as well as semipublic affairs
such as baZars and other charitable
undertakings,
1t was very evident that she could
have married almost any eligible man
in England, or In Europe, prince, duke,
earl or millionaire. 1t has been rumored
often that she smiled upon several Of
them, but none of them measured W

to the supreme test of her critical taste.
II took the son of a London doctor to
win her heart as well as her smiles.
At the beginning of the great war
a great tragedy fell upon Lady Diana's
lite, which doubtless affected her very
much. There was an English officer
who disappeared during the retreat
from Mons. Lady Diana had inquiries
made concerning him and found he had
loen fatally wounded and taken to a
German prison am She sent him a
message of kind sympathy, which he
received just before he died. 1t IS be-
lieyeds by many OF her friends that
Lady Diana thought a great deal Of the
deceased officer, for the petted darling
Of society threw herself into hospital
work with all the energy she possessed,
She became a new person as serious
as she had once been frivolous.
She bent every effort to carrying
her wal work and was always trying to
earn money for her enterprises. One
plan which she found very renumera-
tive WAS that Of selling her photographs.
From the moment she entered society
her photographs had been popular and
she became known rs the most pho
tographed m in the world" All
the proceeds from the sale Of her pic
lures went to the fund for the sup
mort Of her hospital and soldiers aid
society.
1t was while working hard ut her
hospital that Lady Diana met Capt
Cooper, who served with credit in the
G%renadier Guards during the war.
