I.aey Stafford's Kindness.
A delightful story Is going the rounds
about Cora, Lady Stafford, who la known
among her friends 'for her good nature.
At a well-known club of which she Is a
member the countess, who was dressed
quite simply, happened to be dining alone
when she fell Into conversation with a
member at an adjoining table, who Is the
wife of a poor country clergyman, la the
course of their conversation the "country
mouse," who had no notion of Lady Staf
ford's Identity explained to her that she
was staying in the club because it was a
good address and she hsd to see there
very Important person for her husband,
who was temporsrily Indisposed. She
went on to say thst she found the club
very expensive and the servanls so "fine"
tltat (ihe was positively afraid of them
She further explained that all her belong
lugs were in a carpet bag and she did not
know how on earth she was going to ret
"the wretched thing down In the lift with
the awe-inspiring porter gating at It."
"Now. I will tell you piectsely what we
will do," said I-ady Strafford, "f have a
J large mantle and I'll go to vour room with

these bloseed servants will see It."
The parson's wife aid she could not hear
of such a thing, but Lady Strafford In
sisted and It wa under her exquisite cloak
that the humble looking bag was ttken into
the street. When It und its owner had
been safely placed In a four-wheeler, Iatdy
Strafford requested the ol. rtvinan s wife
to be sure to eonie and see her, handiog
her at the same time her esrd.

the style of that worn by Mrs. Potter
Palmer at Ascot.'' When the queen was
speskmg to the t'hicago woman she noticed
this dninty trifle snd promptly remarked.
"I n.ust try to get one ss like It as imssi

msiesty to accept the one she was wearing.
This, however, she refused to do saying
that having admired It It would he Im
possible to take it Mom Mrs. Palmer.
The sodden popnlarlt of these pic
turesque trifles has reeulted in bringing
some charming ones to light. The othr
morning at Waterloo station little Miss
Crocker, who was departing for New York
was. 1 noticed, wearing a beauty In bluish
green stones set In old silver ami picked
out with paste. The green gems matched
her very quaint but hardly becoming green
hat. a huge thing drsped with cambric em
broidery. Mrs. Whltelaw Re!d. who was
with her. had also a fob dangling from her
side, bit I could not see what Is was

One would have thought Mr. Mills had
the time of his Ufa at Dorchester house
for there were many festivities arranged
for him and he bad the honor of absorbing
the Interest of Queen Alexandra for a
whole quarter of an hour at the royal
garden party. As a matter of fact, the
poor old gentleman was bored to death by
the fuss that was made over him and was
dead tired after a week of It. For the
first time he wore a court suit at the Con
naughts' dinner party snd looked distin
guished and reposeful In It. it consisted of
blsck velvet kaee-bi eeches and velvet
swallow-tall coat with lace ruffles and lace
cravat. He wore the orthodox black silk
stockings and buckled shoes. These suits
cost anything from $34) upwards and are
extremely becoming. For the occasion Mrs
Reld presented her father with an ex
quisite pair of old paste shoe-buckles,
which by all accounts were unique. Mrs.
Reld was so pleased with the appearance
of her father in his court suit that she
had his photograph taken by several photog
raphers. LADY MARY.

SMITH HAS CAREER AHEAD
Toiagnt of Klsg'a Counsels Present
Hope of In Ion 1st Party In
Parliament.
LONDON, Juiy IU. iSpeeial.) F. E.
Smith, member of Parliament for Liver
pool, youngest of king's counsels, who has
Just bften "called" as the youngest
bencher of Oray's Inn. after the unpre
cedented short career of only eight and a.
half years at the bar, Is one of the most
remarkable young men In English public
life. Although he started as a compara
tively poor boy and is now only 3t years
old. good Jitdges of all shades of political
rplnlon are falling over one another In
predicting a brilliant future for him. One
of the keenest of Parliamentary observers
has gone so far as to confidently declart
that he will some day be lord chancellor of
Kifgland.-
Some men work for years to gain a Par
liamentary reputation. Smith won his
spurs in an hour by his maiden speech in
the House of Commons a little more than
two years ago. His effort was so brilliant
thst men, who had been in Parliament f.ir
years said that there was no parallel In
their time and it came at a moment h, n
the unionist purty, to which he owed
allegiance, sorely needed his services, its
ranks had been sadly thinned at the genera)
election and Smith was welcomed with
open arms by Mr. Balfour and Mr. Cham
berlain. His regard will be a government
position when the unionists go into power
sgaln.
I'nhke the majority of men who have
made their mark in Parliament. Smith
owes his swift rise to no family Influence.
Winston Churchill. Walter Runciman,
Reginald McKenna and all the other youth
ful prodigies of public life have great nsmts
or large fortunes behind them. Smith Is
the son of an estate agent of Birkenhead,
near Lis ei pool, who has Just enougn money
to give his son a good education. Young
Smith went to Wsdhani college and then
to Oxford. At the latter place of learn
ing he had a brtLiant career and became
president of the Oxford union. He decided
to settle down into the life of a Don, but,
marrying a poor girl, discovered that he
would have to do something more strenu
ous If he wanted to keep the wolf from the
door. 80 he entered the law and soon built
up a good practice in Liverpool. Nowadays,
there are few big 1 as. s In the Knglieh
courts in hkli Smith Is not retained a
coVinstl by one ot other of the parties.
I.OVDON. . July IS. (Special.! Fourteen
K.nglisli women possess the Hahl to sit on
the crimson leather benches of the House
of Lords and argufy aRiilnet the over
whelming oclds of the sterner sex. Al
though no one has any idea of enforcing
the rights of these peeresses In their own
right, attention has Ju:t been directed by
a learned professor to the fact that In
years gone by their ancestors of the female
persuasion did sit and did legislate, al
though the majority of them preferred to
exercise their privileges by proxy.
Probably ' the mowt Interesting of the
women who hold the right to sit In thj
British House of Lords Is Lady Klnloss. a
great pal of the king's and eldest daughter
of the lake duke of Buckingham and
Chandos. By. the will of ninch-rnni ri. d
Henry VIII. this peeress should now be
sitting on the throne of Knalnnd. Thm
monarch limited the succession, faillns; Is
sue of Ills daughters, to ti e iesue of uis
sister. Mary, by Charles Brandon, duke of
Suffolk, of whom !.ady Kirtloss is the
direct heir. For reasons which they decim-d
sufficient, the So f folks waived their claim
and swore allegiance to the Scottt-h line
nominated hy Elizabeth on her death bed.
ti lories of Place Are t.oue.
Lady Kinlomj is the owner of Slow
House, a great pile of hui'dinus once unions
the finest country seats In England. T''"
glories of the place depart-d In IMS. when
most of the art treasures were sold, fol
lowing upon the financial crKh in the af
fairs of the second duke of Buckingham
partly in consequence of his reckless
liberality in eniertuining the French
refuges. The house was .u v.uious times
occupied by the 'omte il" Paris. Louis
XVIII and other Bourbon exih-s. Th-;
gardens, more than Sou in res in extent, are
said to have been the fineal in tin- world
and they still retain niucn of their foi uier
glory, although the coffers ot the house aie
none too well lined. Chandos House, th,
Iamdon residences of the laniilv. was some
eurs ago sold to that' American ' -ies-.
Cora, countess of Strafford and she has
since made il the s.-ene of I: r princely
enlei taiuiuelils.
Iad de Kos. who is Ihe wife ot ih
Hon. Andrew Dawson, votinyest brother of
the earl of Dartrey, holds the premier
barony of England, it dales hack to ti e
year Ul ami in its lourney down th cen
turies has passed through many vicissi
tudes of fortune. No 01I1-1 Engli.-h peer
age has been held by so man helrs-femulc,
the title having been worn bv no fewei
than flee women at ditfeieiii t.nvs.
The present baroness is a great grand
daughter of , that (luil.ru of Richmond
who gave the famous ball on the 1 ve uf
the battle of Waterloo and who is said to
have buckled on the duke of Wollh.jions
sword upon his departure for th front on
the memorable day. She is the twenty
fifth holder of the title.
Baroness bitted Mesit-laa.
I Baroness Weulwortu alio, before stK suc
ceeded to the title, was known as Iady
Mary Milbanke, derives her peerage from
her father who was the earl of Iivelacc
and who inherited the barony of Went
worth from his mother, the only daughter
of the pool Byron. Like her father atsl
her great grandfather, Baroness Went
wortn has real literary ability and Is more
ever, an accomplished musician. Her
mother Is one of the brilliant group of
Stuart-Wortleys, children of a famous re-,
corder V London In the Victorian' era.
One of the most interesting of those who
theoretically have a seat In the I'pper
British legislature Chamber is the youthful
Baroness Beaumont. She was only 7 years
old -when King Edwid was crowned and
waa the second youngest peeress to don her
robes and appear In the great procession.
She was boi rn in 14 and when only 2 years
of age the title which, on the death of her
father, had lapsed for want of a male heir
was called out of abeyance in her favor
by Queen Victoria. The title carries with It
the ownership of a splendid county reat In
Yorkshire, called Carton Towers, which is
to be the absolute proerty of tlx youthful
peeress when she becomes of a pre. There
she and her mother and her sister, who Is
a year her Junior, live the year round, en
Joying an Ideal existence. She hunts like
any grown-up and drives her team of Shet
lands in tandem fashion. She gives a
brilliant anr.ual fancy dress ball at Easter
time to which more than 4 of her young
friends are Invited.
In the matter of youth, however. Lad)
Beaumont must yield to Baroness Clifton,
who was born in 1!)0. She Is the daughter
of the late earl of Darnley and is the
.seventeenth holder of the barony. She was
out 9 months old when he died and lelt
her the youngest pee n .is in (treat Britain.
to those in the United States. For- In
stance, In America a premium Is placed
upon Initiative and a suggestion Is u
welcome from the office boy as from the
manager. And It Is acted upon If it ap
peals to those In authority. In England a
suggestion from a man or boy in an in
ferior position touching on matters outside
his own specific duties is looked upon as
an unwarranted Impertinence. The man Is
fortunate If he Is not discharged. In Eng
land the meneaud lioys are hired to do
certain work and they are expected ' to
do that work and leave the rest to their
betters. Initiative on their part is treated
as a vice, not as a virtue.
"In the I'nlted States In every great
business there Is a largo class who are
getting fairly good wages. In England
there Is no such class. Here there arc no
finely graded steps by which a man or a
boy may advance."

GEORGE PENALTY APPROVED

The proceedings of the general court
martial of Major Charles P. George, Y. S.
A., retired, recently tried at Fort Des
Moines, have Just been msd public.
Major Ueoiiie was sentenced to pay a fine
