Now here Is a cruel
thought for the Duchess
OF Roxburghe. Floors
Castle and the principal
Roxburghe estates are
entailed; that is to say,
they must descend to
the next male heir and
cannot be transferred
by the Duke TO any
other person. II tho
Duchess should be left
a widow without male
children b er castle
would pass into the pos.
session OF the next heir,
who might be the hus-
band OF Jose Collins.
The widowed Duchess
would then be called
the Dowager Duchess.
Such a turn Of events
would be extremely
cruel TO the American
Duchess. for she has
spent millions on Floors
Castle. This Is an i'm
mense place and had
been allowed to fall
into a state OF great
dilapidation. The Ouch
css has restored and
renovated the old place
completely and fur
nished II with every
comfort known in Amer
lea. She has added a
wonderful nenagerie
and a complete botani.
cal garden. Under the
English law everything
added by her to the es-
tate would pass to the
next heir and entirely
out OF her control.
Floors Castle was
built about two hundred
years ago, in sight OF
the ruins of a much
moro ancient building.
the original Roxburghe
Castle, which the fam.
lily would never rebuild
for a very romantic rea-
son. An English writer
has recently written n
most interesting de.
scription of old descrip.
ton of old Roxburghe
Castle and the domain
ruled over by the Amer
lean Duchess:
The dainty boudoir
which has been rebuilt
Tor the Duchess is on

Floors Castle, in ono OF
the stately wings built

Sir John vanbrugh.

Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1920-11-21

Here It Is appropriate TO recall that the
Duchess has another embarrassing rela.
tion by marriage. Her brother, Robert
Goelet. married as his second wife Madame
Fernando Rocchi Riabouschinsky, who
once wrote about beauty culture and &C.
cepted humble position in spectacular
New York theatrical production. Madame
Rihbouschinsky had been the wife OF a
mysterious Russian. who came here during
the war, and was then divorced by her.
Inc former exponent OF beauty culture and
the divorced music hall artistic would make
mn odd addition TO the royal circle :.
1t Is scarcely possible for the proud
Duchess to forget the existence OF Lord
Robert innesKer and his wife altogether,
for they nre 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 InnesKer, who
married Miss Anne Breese. of New York
and has two sons. After this comes Lord
Robert Innes-Ker. who has caused so much
embarrassment 10 the family. There is at
least fair probability that e descendant
OF Jose Collins will come day be Duke Of

"They can hurry along very quickly
and they are most powerful as well as

love raw meat. They will eat eggs
too. and they break the shells at one
