She was his favorite hostess and when he became Bing Edward VII. her influence did not vanish, She was a lady of • great fashion, endowed with knowledge, humor and philosophy, appealing es- pecially to a prince and king who, notwithstanding his pose of "mixer," was meticulously eclectic in seeking the best in everytbiug. Lady Warwick's interest in Social- ism and labor questions end her de- votion to charitable objects are by no means fashionable fads. She has proved her sincerity by the heavy pecuniary sacrifices she has wade. The art of oratory is hers and has been used to excellent effect in elec- tion campaigns. in England. ;,White other aristocratic supporters of So- cialism and the cause of the laboring t •an confined thc'r activtles to well appointed stages and platforms; the countess toured the country, like an;; Presidential candidate, invariably ad• dressing convincingly her large audi- ences from the tall of a cart. Twitted with her large landed possessions and the epparent neglect of her practice to square with her preaching, she pointed to the English "law of entail" ,which ensures the security of such property to natural descendants, un- less the entail Is broken by mutual consent of the temporary beneficiary and his heir. As her children are very much minors tho alienation of the property was impossible, but she told her hecklers that if the people of England repealed the law of entail she would willingly surrender her broad acres toward the furtherance of her Ideals. Nothing showed the genulneeess of the woman more than the sale of every jewel she possessed to finance Socialist Parliamentary candidates, For this she was much belabored in the Socialist press, but hor memory of previous frothy out- pourings of a similar kind and her chsracteristic sense of humor came to tl ; rescue and did not suffer her to abate her interest in "the cause." When nobility in England desires notoriety or is hampered financially, it usually opens a shop in fashionable Bond sareet, London, and disposes of Its wares as nonchalantly as the mer- est common or garden tradesman. Lady Warwick was oats of the first to in ,cribe a titled name over a store In that famous and delightful thor- oughfare. It mattered not that it was a shop for the sale of needle- '. ork, designed to -afford material aid to struggling seamstresses. Here, again, she was attacked --this time tit. clamor coming from the labor or- ganizations — because, forsooth, she was "taking the bread out of honest workiugwomen's mouths," Humor was again necessary. Her virility, zeal and strenuousness were known to her critics. It was for- gotten or ignored that the Countess of 'Warwick was a powerful initiator and iletroness of many helpful and desir- able departures. pn her estate in Es - ere she bas maintained for many 'aro a school where boys and girls 're taught farming and horticulture, ecbnica and practical, in addition to such admirable accessories as carp n- crinq, building, cooking, needlework end l'oueehold management.
