Lord Grey had returned to London

Miss Philippa Wendell, daughter
of the late Jacob Wendell of New
York, who recently married young
Lord Galloway, becomes the chate-
laine of the mysterious and gloomy
old castle of the Earls of Galloway,
which was built in the 18th century
in a forbidding district of Wigmore-
shire, all ravines and scraggy rocks,
and where according to tradition oc-
CURED the tragedy which Sir Walter
Scott immortalized in The Bride of
Lammermoor." Ever since that
stirring tale took hold of popular
fancy, and especially since the oper-
attic rendition of Lucia de I.ammer-
moor" all the members of the clan
of Galloway have attended the
dramatic version and the opera in
full Highland garb. For it was the
unhappy Edgardo who was of the
house of Galloway, and not the
fragile Lucy Ashton. Lady Galloway
requested opportunity to pass the
honeymoon at this castle and has
no doubt derived much exhilaration
in tracing the progress of the love
tale which has so gripped the world.
Lady Galloway comes of a family of
New Yorks Oldest pioneers, her first
ancestor. John Harmanus Wendell, a
native of FrieSland, having joined
the Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam
in 1873. She is the sister of the
present Countess CarnarVon, and her
brother. John Wendell, is married to
a cousin of the earl. who is the son
and successor of the discoverer of
King Tut's marvellous tomb. Lady
Galloway contracted a brilliant al
lance, in that her husband is d men,
ber of the Kings clan" being a
direct descendeant of Lord Darnley
and Mary Queen of Scots.
The late James Sprunt of Whining

consul at Baltimore and other south

citizens of the United States who left

house from Bavaria to Austria. where
he had purchased the splendid do
main in the Dolomites, Poels Castle.
He called his only son after the illus
triouS American of his family, and
always took immense pride in his
kinship to the Virginia Washingtons.
Baron George is unmarried, and 1t
had been his intention 10 years ago
to journey to this country and see
the work of his remote cousins. But
the World War prevented, and since
then i'll health and reverses OF for-
tune have postponed his visit. He Is,
however, to sail from France some
time this autumn.
Few ambassadors to the Court of
st. James have been called on to en-
tertain so vast and important a con-
tlngent of Americans as has fallen
to the lot of Mr. Kellogg. 1t was
wise precaution for him last Autumn
to lease the most spacious mansion
available, Crewe House, but this was
frequently crowded to the last inch.
Even the beautiful garden, which on
the south and west sides contains al
most as much ground as the southern
portion of the White House park. was
filled during the vista
ton of the lawyers and that or the
advertising men. Mrs. Kellogg proved
competent hostess, and not only en-
tertained the scores of guests ate
garden party, but also gave them sage
advise about shopping and sightsee-
ing. The ambassador and his staff
had been engaged for weeks in ad-
vance of the American invasion pre-
pairing their schedule with royalty
and with the British celebrities and
in making out routes and time tables.
Crewe House is d marvellous place,
but the visiting Americans could not
but wish that the Federal govern
ment would spend the few thousands
necessary to remodel and prepare the
handsome mansion in st. James Gates,
left by the late j. Pierpont Morgan
as a home for the American embassy.
Mr.. Kellogg faces the possibility of
having to move, since he was able
to secure only an 1S-month lease, and
it draws swiftly to a close.

a legacy of good will and good deeds.
Mr.. Sprunt was close friend Of the
late Lord Pauncefote of Preston,
first ambassador accredited to this
capital from the court of st. James,
and was his frequent visitor during
the many years that diplomatist
was in Washington. After serving
some 20 years as consul and
consul general, he resigned from the
British foreign service and entered
the cotton brokerage business in Will
mington, N G., which continued as
his home until his death in the early
Spring. Mr.. Sprunt established play
grounds in different cities of North
Carolina and he was always the gen
erous benefactor of vacation homes
and retreats for ailing children and
their mothers, and left handsome
legacies for their maintenance. Some
25 years ago, after becoming
a citizen of this republic, Mr..
Sprunt purchased and restored one
of the few remaining old southern
plantations. rebuilding the slave
quarters. though with modern plumb
ing and heating facilities, for the
benefit of the workers in an adjacent
cotton mill, and replacing crum-
bling and decaying smokehouses, ice
houses, stables and granaries. He
called his home Orton Hall, after his
own family seat in Gloucestershire,
and the mansion near the mouth of
the Cape Fear River had been a
noted social center in prerevolution-
airy days. This worthy Briton had
married Miss Louisa Murchison of
Raleigh during the first years of his
service in this country. She died
about 20 years ago. His sons
continue the business he established,
Mr.. Alexander Sprunt being well
known in political circles of North
Carolina.

A wall goes up from London over
the complete abandonment of the
project to tunnel the English channel
from port to port on British and
French sides, and those who are so
much incommoded by the choppy
waves can see no immediate pros
pect of relief. Lord Haldane, whom
the prime minister, Mr. Ramsey Mac
Donald appointed to execute this en-
glneertnS feat has reported that this
dream of hands across the sea is i'm
practicable in cost at the present, and
perhaps at any time. Nearly all the
members of the British royal family
are victims of a-sickness and it
was a gallant desire to assist Queen
Victoria to visit the continent without
violent illness during the crossing
that induced the leading statesmen
of her era to begin inquiries about
the feasibility of the tunnel. The
tunneling of the Hudson gave the
enterprise a momentary impetus, but
now it would seem that all hope has
been renounced.
Queen Mary is a poor sailor and
rarely goes farther on the water than
a yachting trip to Cowes. French
statesmen favored the tunnel since 50
many of them do not relish the Eng
lish channel and it's turbulent cross
currents and they did all they could
to make the idea popular Wash
ington people will be interested in the
fact that Baron Emile d'Erlanger,
grandson of Mathilda Slidell, long a
resident of this Capital, is the French
manager of this engineering prof.
ect, and he has proposed to do the
work for France independent of Brit
ish assistance.
