CARDIGAN COUNTESS DEAD Fussing of English Woman, Who, During XtetQarX-ftble Career, Of fended Queen Victoria. LIFE FULL OF ROMANCE Rain Postpones Tennis Matches. PITTSBURGH, Pa.. June 80 A heavy downpour this morning flooded the courts and compelled officers of the National Clay Tennis Court championship to post pone today's program until tomorrow. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) LONDON. June 12. The countess of Cardigan, whose death, at the age of 1 rears, had a remarkable career. She saw as a child much of the court life of King William IV, heard Tom Moore sing his own songs and knew the Marquis of Hertford, the original of Thackeray's Ixird Steyne. Her matrimonial experience Including the earl of Cardigan, who led the charge of the light brigade at Balak lava and, after hla death, a Portuguese nobleman, but she also received proposals from the legitimate heir to the Sranlsb throne, whom she narrowly missed marrying end from Disraeli, a warm suitor, Lord Pherborne, the due of Leeds, Prince Sollykoff and the duke of St. Albans. Her name will go down In history as the author of a book of memoirs exposing all the scandals In high life during the Victorian era. It was not until the countess of Cardi gan was 85 years old and almost for gotten that she startled England with her chronicle of srlstocratlo scandal under the title of "My Recollections," In whlh she concealed nothing to save her own repute tlon or others. Many herolo figures of history, such as Disraeli, emerged from her book considerably shrunken. The countess' father was Spencer de Horsey, M. P., and her mother the daughter of the earl of Stradbroke. From childhood. Adeline de Horsey moved In the highest society In England. The duke of Wellington was one of her father's Intimates. The young woman's views were de cidedly advanced for her time, and be cause she was not allowed a latrh-key, she left home and got a house of her own In London. It was at this time she met the earl of Cardigan. The earl possessed brute courage and nothing else. and failed of promotion to a generalship on this account. He had made an unhappy marriage with the divorced wife of a brother of ficer, from which he mas released by her death. Her Intimacy with Cardigan In his wife's lifetime offended Queen Victoria. The result was she was practically ostracised by her own class because of the royal snub. With Iron courage she went to garden parties, balls and func tions In which she snt absolutely alone and Ignored. Her husband's cousin, Ledy Allesbury, the social dictator of that time. came Into her power, however, because of her knowledge of a scandalous chapter In that woman's past. When after being widowed she married the count of l,anoaater of Portugal, she gave fresh offense to the queen by tak ing the title of countess of Cardigan and Lancaster, for the queen was In the habit ol calling herself the countess of Lan caster when traveling Incognito. Her gifts of mind and her beauty made the countess the leader of arlatocratlo Bohemia. She entertained large parties In the fine old Tudor mansion left her by her first husband. Critics charge that the rounteea wrote her recollections to revenge hers-lf on those who refused to receive her.
