GRANDMA LEITER rill r.ii i oon in iiioouirin-Lflii Lord Curzon Is Now Devoted to Woman Who Has Cared ' for His Children. KING NOT ALLOWED - TO CHOOSE OFFICERS j:d ward'" Band Are Tied ly : Party in rower and Ho Is Barred From Sayinjr Whom lie Want In His 0-n Household, Bf Paul Lambeth. fCoryrlgbt, 1907. by W. R. Hearst)5 Xjondon, Aug. si.ixra t-uricn, ; wno was not at first enamored with ( : his mother-in-law, Mrs. Loiter, la now al most a devoted to her as are his own little girls, Mrs. Lelter - has been "mothering" - Lord Curson'e daughters at the beautiful country house near F;!Mns:trike, which the ex-vlceroy of I'.il-a has ?uivlias'?tl, and the little girls are Just beginning to recover from the terrible loss of their mother. "Grandma Letter," , as she is called, has, In fact, become a British Institu tion. She cares little for the gay doir.gs of society in London, and is completely wrapped up in her son-in-law and her grandchildren. i Mrs. Letter Is at present staying with her grandchildren at Tulloch Lodge, and she is most anxious that her son-in-law, who has appeared depressed of late, should enter the political arena quickly. Mrs. Lelter will always spend the great er part of the year in thla coimtry for the future. The king is most anxious to set "Ms house in order"; but at present,' being a very constitutional monarch. Is unable to take the initiative, certain "places In his majesty's household are at the mercy of political parties and it is this party element" which the king is very anxious to aboiian. ' or instance, Lord Seftdn has re signed his position as master of the horse, and the Liberal government are looking in vain for a successor.. If the King were allowed to choose his own master of the horse he could do so t morrow, but certain positions in the household are filled by, whatever party is in power. ' n Supposing that a very Democratic or Socialist party were In power, the king wouia ne forced to, appoint people with whom he could have nothing in com mon to confidential positions In the household. - Ketr Hardle, for example, would ra.rUjrJmake a suitable lord chamber lain. The thing must be faced sooner or later, and meanwhile the premier is trying to find unsuitable person tosbe master of the horse. Planning jrwtsb Pageant. The erase known as Pageantltla' has penetrated to the east of London. ; The facta have not as vt ) . nnhiiah4 J.Vwthweno?',nou," "wish community in to be performed next spring at some spot within easy reach of London. Secret meetings of prominent Jewish tradesmen have been held weekly, and It has now been decided that Lord Rothschild Is to be approached on the matter. Prizes are to be offered for the best manuscript of a Jewish pa geant giving the whole history of the Jewish community since the resettle ment In England. The prime mover in the suggested pageant is Harry Barnett, the Jewish "Provision King,'' who is wildly enthu siastic over the scheme. Several wealthy west and Jews have already promised their support, so that little remains to be done but to discover a Jewish playwright. It has been hinted that Taranl Kana-- wlll or Alfred Sutro may come to the rescue If a native playwright does not arise in Whltechapei. George, the head waiter of the R1U restaurant, who has left London to take charge of the new Plaa hotel in New York, Is something of a "character." and the smart society folk who had be come attached to him feel as if they had lost a dear friend. George, who is a guy French bachelor, with curly hair and a very young face, has wonderfully polished manners, At first his accent was ourelv English, hut during the past few weeks he has been strenuously cultivating a New York ac cent in view of his Piaza engagement. George Gould, who is one of George's friends, has taken an Immense suite at the new Plaza, so that the millionaire and the waiter will meet again. George has visions : of showers of 5 bills which, he understands, form every head waiter's perquisite In New York. ; Elaborate Gowns oa Tachts, Every one who was. at the Cowea re a-atta. noticed the fact that elahnrnta hats. and costumes had taken the Dlace of the simple .yachting dresses which were -formerly ! Worjv y an women at thlca inrtf1wi . ... w . Whltechapei and Hoi ton a ra ing plant for- a (rand Jewish pageant, I her face against the absurdly but-o 1 place dress which has distinguished Cowes during the past two seasons. Her majesty still clings to the sensible white or blue serge yachting dress and sailor hat which was always considered the best form at Cowes. It is said that certain American hostesses introduced such pretty flower hats last season that many English women, who slavishly follow the fash Ions set by their smart American cousins, thought they would "go one better.'' Anyhow, the result this year cer tainly did not meet with the approval of the men at the Royar Yacht Squad ron, the most exclusive club In the world, and many members made very uncomplimentary remarks about the ridiculous "Ascot" "hats and towns which w.ere to 'be. seen every day on the yachts In the Solent. The coming shooting season in Eng land promisee to attract more Amer icans than shown by any previous rec ord. Arrangements for renting some of the finest shooting estates have been made for the month, and, several large shooting parties from the states have already commenced to inhabit the resi dential lodges. The moWs at Hobscat will be shot over by Bradley Martin Jr., who is entertaining largely at Feteresso Castle. Bradley Martin Ss., will have large house parties at Balmaeaan. Inverness. Ralph Vivian is installed at Deifer Castle, Morayshire, where he is always assured of excellent sport. Lady Leicester, who was Miss Kate Warder, is providing for a number ot American sruns. wmie narties are also being1 entertained by h, the Duke and Duchess bf Manchester; Lord and Lady Roxburghe and Lord and Lady Deer burst. --. i ; W. Waldorf Astor and C. ' Mackav have Invited a large party' of American friends to enjoy the sport of their re spective estates, and Cornwall's West.- at St. Albens,- Is also in a modified' way dispensing autumn' hospitality. -. The two ' great moors of Dunachton and Phones, .the property of the laU her good works. "Silent Smith," have caused a good deal of speculation in shooting circles as to their future tenant. Each moor was answerable last season for 2,000 brace, and they are now in perfect condition. ,v At the eleventh hour Dunachton has been - let to Joseph Watson, of Wetherby, and the rights to the Phones have been divided between Frank Lloyd and Sir William' Pearce. Europe is at present in the throes of a Marlborough boom. Every illustrated paper in England and on the continent nas gtven space to the latest full-length portraits of the duchess in her peeress robes and paragraphs in appreciation of her goodness. " . ' Certainly the Duchtss of Marioorougn was never more popular than at this moment. This is directly due to her charming personality, her sweetness of cnaracter, ana ner consistent jarge heartedneas.
