Almost simultaneously with Sir Weetman Pearson's elevation to the peerage came the anouncement of a hidden romance in his family whereby it was disclosed that his third son. Francis, had married the heauiif-.il Ethel Lewis, formerly a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera company. The marriage occurred last August at St. Clement's in the Strand, where young Pearson in his license gave sev eral particulars concerning himself which were inaccurate. The secret of his marriage was kept for months from his father, as after the ceremony the couple did not live together, the bride continuing her theatrical car eer, while the bridegroom attended Cambridge. When the news was at last broken his father was furious, but he has put the best face on the matter. The pub lic announcement of the wedding was made and the bride sent to the Conti nent, ostensibly to finish her educa tion, which Is conditional to recogni tion by Sir Weetman Pearson, who Is a striking Puritan in social mat ters and a great friend of the present King. Meanwhile the bridegroom has been taken from Cambridge by his angry parent and sent to work In the pur chasing department of his father's of fices. H has an humble position and !: obliged to work hard and late. If he makes good his father will possibly forgive him and permit the couple to be reunited.
