the prospective brides great uncle,
Andrew Carnegie, is held in universal
esteem. Miss Nancy is the grand
daughter of Thomas Morrison Car
negie. only brother of the Laird o.
Skibo, and who is so often and at
fectionately mentioned in the lattcr's
autobiography as Tom who, when
the Carnegie family left Scotland for
the United States, was only five
years old, a beautiful, fair-haired
child with lustrous black eyes as
the great steel king writes 1t. This
well beloved brother of the laird
married a daughter of Willlam Cole

was as powerful in the steel busi-
ness as the Carnegies afterward be-
came. Mr.. and Mrs. Th omas Morri-
son Carnegie were passionately fond
of the sea, and the latter, in her
widoWhood, took up yachting so en-
ergetically that she was the first
woman member of the New YORK
Yacht Club, and sailed the Dunge-

Nancy Carnegie is the daughter of
the Andrew Carnegies, End, and she

much ground in these comparatively
fcv- months. Mrs Bryce. it will be
remembered, manifested unusual IN

have been a far call for the wife OF
the British Ambassador less than 10

into "A tea at the embassy and long

the dignity of his Office, but, also for
the health of his infant daughter,

his duties, which are not nearly SO

which Mr.. Longworth faces. Mr..

Col. John Henry Patterson, who

most celebrated hunters of big game

has many tigers, leopards and other
beasts of prey to his credit. But that

eighties was in charge of building a
railroad in the Uganda and Mombosa

as an imperative need, since night
after night lions crept into his camp
and carried off a laborer or two. 1T
was then that his patch crossed that

his fame. A hale, active man in the
