; ADY DIANA MANNERS,


IL daughter Of the Duke and

dared to fly the English Channel.
Conservatives of the upper

have been startled at many of

ventures. But Lady Diana has
an indepenent spirit, which. com.
bined with her energy, her wide
interests and her irnpatience with
old.time narrow conventions, led
her to do pretty much as she
liked.

not recovered from Lady Diana's

Shipman illustrated his theme by
