Here II is appropriate to recall that the
Duchess has another embarrassing sela-
ton by marriage. Her brother. Robert
Goelet married as his second wife Madame
Fernando Rocchi Riabouschinsky. who
once wrote about beauty culture and ac-
cepted humble position in a spectacular
New York theatrical production. Madame
Riabouschinsky had been the wife OF
mysterious Russian. who came here during
the war, and was then divorced by her.
The former exponent Of beauty culture and
the divorced music hall artistic would make
an odd addition to the royal circle.
II is scarcely possible for the proud
Duchess to forget the existence Of Lord
Robert Innes-Ker and his wife altogether,
for they are not very remote from the sue
cession to the dukedom. The Duke. and
Duchess have only one son, a rather deli
cate little boy, born after they had been
married ten years. The Duke has Sec
ond brother, Lord Alistair Innes-Ker, who
married Miss Anne Breese, Of New York,

Such a turn Of events
