A kings cousin and his bride, reputed
to be the welthiest woman in all the
kingdom, arrived yesterday on the
Majestic of the White Star Line and
are going to Niagara Falls on their
wedding trip.
He Is Lord Louis Mountbatten, cousin
of George v of England. His bride was
Miss Edwina Ashley. granddaughter
and heiress of the late Right Honora-
bic Sir Ernest Casscl.
When they set out they knew Niagara
Falls only as scenic marvel and not
as the resort that is more popular
even than Reno with newly married
couples. The knowledge made no differ
ence In their plans. They are going to
include Niagara Falls in their three
months tour of this country.
VIII Try to See Series
Lord Mountbatten was keenly inter
ested when he learned that the world 8
series baseball games were to be PLAYED
here this week and said he was going
to do his best to. see one Of them. He
and his bride are to be here only forty
eight hours on this occasion, however,
although before their return to Eng
land they are to make a more extend
ed visit at the home Of General and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. At present
they are at the Ritz Carlton Hotel
Il have seen all the possessions OF
the United States, including the Canal
Zone and the Philippines" said Lord
| Mountbatten, "and while travelling
| with the Prince Of Wales as his aid de
| camp on the Renown l had glimpse
of San Diego, but we decided that
when we took our honeymoon trip we
would see all the points of interest in
the United States.
! "Oh, yes, we included Niagara Falls
in our itinerary, but when we did SO
we had no idea it was the real old
| fashioned honeymoon resort Of the
Americans. Then we are both very
anxious to get view of the famous
Grand Canyon, of which we have heard
80 much.

we will return home before Christ
mas / must return to my post on the
Repulse by that time, for my leave
will expire. Incidentally, / am only

pectations."
Lady Mountbatten, brunette and
blue-eyed, plainly attired in scarlet
short silk coat, lighter colored skirt
and broadbrimmed velvet hat, who is
not only reputed to be Great britain's
most wealthy woman, but the mos
beautiful as well, was always at the
side of her husband as the big liner
cane slowly up the Bay. They posed
patiently for a battery Of photograph
ers as the Majestic crept by the Statue
OF Liberty, and with that ordeal over
immediately went below to the prom
enade deck to gaze intently upon the
skyline of New York. They, were giyer
diplomatic courtesies at the pier ir
having their baggage expedited.
