LADY
FRAZER

don wanted to be shocked and found
in the photograph and subsequent
meeting of the pair an opportunity
to link the names of Lady Vara and
the young Earl.
The old Earl Of Cathcart. embit-
tered by his wife's devotion to
gayety and her companionshlp with
Craven, has flung down the gauntlet
and invited his wife to court.
Meanwhile. young Craven has his
hands full of trouble. He is de-
PENDANT in divorce by his
country girl wife. Mary George.
It IL another of the many shattered
war romances. He was stationed In
the little town Of Invergordon. Scot
land, when he became enamored
there of pretty-and poor-Mary.
He was then Viscount Ellington.
They were married secretly. His
mother had wanted him to marry an
American girl. and It was a year
before her hostility to the match
ended. The bride adapted herself
cleverly to the society role so sud.
denly thrust on her. A son was
born.
NEW ROMANCE LIKELY.
Then came the end of the war.
the resumption Of the gay life and
reckless indulgence in pleasure by
both. The youth was having a mer-
ry fling. His wife had come to like
the wild pace her new life mad pre-
scented. They drIfted apart.
1t is reported here that the Earl
Of Craven and Lady Cathcart are
going shortly to South Africa to be
married there as soon as their re-
spective divorces have been settled.
The dowager Countess Of Craven
and her son were expected to go to
New York this winter, but the pres
ent complex situation probably will
interfere with that plan.
She is much disturbed over the
tumble involving her sons name with
that Of Lady Vera. Gossiping ones
have ventured the trip to America
was considered by the countess as a
means Of severing the intimacy.
The countess father, Bradley Mar.
tin, is remembered as straight
laced individual. While he joined
with his wife in many brilliant func-
tons, he was quick to frown on
whatever did not meet with his in
depreciation Of the standards Of con-
ventionality. Both have passed to
their forebears.
MRS. BRADLEY-MARTIN'S. AIM.
Those who know the story of the
countess romance say that her
father moved heaven and earth to
prevent her marriage to the then
young Earl Of Craven, many years
ago. 1t was Mrs. Martin who engi-
neered the match: She permitted
nothing to obstruct her social aims.
The marriage was a step in her pro-
gram Of forcing the attendance of
Metropolitan New York society on
her functions.
How many are aware that earl
and bride separated Immediately
after the brilliant ceremony and did
not meet again for a year? This ar
rangement was on Bradley Martins
insistence when he was baked In
his efforts to thwart the elimination
OF his wife's plan to effect the
match. Poor Cornelia Martin hal

ended by Judge Meredith's order
entered on the order book of the
court this week.
Judge Meredith construed the
will to mean the Children's Home
Society of West Virginia, after
considering all the evidence sub.
mitted by both sides and hearing
the arguments in the case. Judge
Meredith decided that the testator
made a slight mistake In the name
of the institution In having his
will drawn up, but that he wanted
his money to so to that institu-
ton,
Thia fact was further substan-
tiated by testimony introduced by
counsel for the Institution, who
produced records to show that
Prlckett had made a cash dona-
ton Of $4,000 to the institution
while he was living and that he
had been in constant touch with
the institution by letters and that
