Zurich Herald, 1957-10-24, Page 3DIGGING HIS FORTUNE—Thomas Watson, 19, shovels his way to a small fortune in New York in the payoff of one of the oddest big prize contests of the year. Watson, a farm machinery draftsman, was allotted five minutes in which to shovel as many silver dollars as he could from a seven -and -a - half -ton pile totaing $250,000. First prize winner in a pro- motion contest sponsored by a soft drink company, Watson shoveled his way to $37,500. Hi : The WI., ,rq is Under A Mattress When Grace Dalrymple arriv- ed in London after being edu- cated in a French convent, the young men about town were :noon swarming round, seeking her favours. No wonder! Grace was barely seventeen, she was tall, she had beautifulfeatures land a wonderfully proportioned figure. And yet, all through her first season in town, the most per- sistent and rewarded suitor was a man nearly twice her age and far from handsome. He was John. Eliot, a prosperous physician, whose money brought him suc- cess with the ladies. In those eighteenth -century days it was common enough for girls to have their husbands picked out for them by rela- tives, so when Hugh Dalrymple told his daughter to marry Eliot *he raised no objection. To please his wife the doctor moved from his house in the parish of St. Clement Danes to s4 villa in fashionable Knights-•_ ,,• bridge. Then Hugh Dalrymple died and Grace began to step out. The doctor began to hear tales about his wife and became sus- picious; when he was away from home he ordered his valet, Will Constable, to follow her. One day Grace said she was going to visit a girl friend, had er maid call a hackney car- riage and drove into London. Will trotted along on foot be- hind the carriage, all the way to Maiden Lane, near Covent Garden. There Grace dismissed the carriage and walked through one of the courts into the Strand, the faithful Will dogging her footsteps. In the Strand a carriage was waiting. Inside, Will recognized a young Irish peer, Viscount Val- entia. Grace stepped into the carriage, which drove off at once, followed all the way by Will, until it reached a house in. Berkeley Row, where it stop- ped. Watched by the breathless Will, the couple entered the house. They did not leave until late evening. Acting an the evi- dence collected by Will Consta- ..• Ie, the doctor divorced Grace. Viscount Valentia was a mar- ried man, but even if he had not been, it is very unlikely that be would have married her. However, early the following year she appeared to have trans- ferred her affection to Lord Cholmondeley, a bachelor, known because of his physical strength as the "Athletic Peer," But Grace's delight at being a free woman was damped when shortly after her divorce her ex - husband was granted a knighthood! She may have had visions of becoming a peeresss, but her bachelor friend, although he en - (0 r t a 1 n ed her magnificently. showed no desire for marriage. The affair lasted three and a half years, during which Grace was painted by Gainsborough, the fashionable artist. Then came news of her entry into the aristocratic world of Paris. The Duc de Chartres of- fered her a home and she ac- cepted. For two years Grace was hap- py in Paris, and then Lord Cholmondeley arrived. She had A row with the French noble- man and left for London and Was soon back again with the English peer. But a few weeks tater she met the young Prince of Wales, son of George III. Her sitf'fair with him was conducted with the greatest discretion, but the gossip writers began to talk about her as "Daily (a corrup- tion of Dalrymple) the Tall." The affair seemed about to peter out, when Grace told her aristocratic friend that he would be the father of the child she was expecting. He made no at- tempt to deny responsibility. The child, a daughter, was christen- ed at St. Marylebone Church, where her names are entered as Georgina Augusta Fredricka, daughter of His Royal Highness, George, Prince of Wales. In later years this child became known as Miss Seymour, who married Lord Charles William Bentinck, a son of the third Duke of Port- land. After the baby's birth, Dally spent half the time in London and half in Paris. She had an annuity of £200 given her by Dr. Eliot at the time of her divorce, and she apears to have been a great success in both ca- pitals. After four years of that kind of life, however, Grace fell in again with Lord Cholmondeley, who promised to be a father to little Georgina, but very soon Grace left Cholmondeley "hold- ing the baby" while she returned _ to Paris. There she again met the Duc de Chartres. A few years later the 'World'e newspaper in London published a story saying that Mrs. Eliot was in "the most deplorable state of poverty in France." What happened was that Grace had been caught up in the French Revolution. She kept a diary of the Revolution. which has often been attacked because of alleged inaccuracies but re- garded by many good judges as a valuable historical docu- ment. Long after her death, Lady Charles Bentinck's daughter, the grand -daughter of "Daily the Tall," sold the manuscript to a firm and it was published. It is full of the most amusing anec- dotes of Grace's life in and out of prison during the French Re- volution. During the greater part of the time, Grace was living either in her house near the Duc de Chartres' palace at the Pare Monceau or in her villa on the outskirts of Paris. When Marie Antoinette was. brought from Versailles to Paeis, before her trial and execution, .. the Queen used Grace as a.mes- senger and sent her to Brussels. Later, Grace learned fleet, her own life was in danger and went to her house in Paris where she played a part in saving the life •f the Marquis de Champcenletz who was 'governor of the Tulle eries, where the King and Queen fled for protection. When the whole of the guard was massacred, the governor crawled through a window of the palace and hid among a .pile of dead in the gardens. Then, dis- guised in a guardsman's coat, he made his way to the British Embassy; they dared not hide him, but they directed him to Grace's house, The National Guard had be- gun house-to-house searches, looking for „"aristocrats" for the guillotine. Grace had to think quickly. She took the Marquis to her bedroom. Her bed was in an alcove; by rearranging two gnat-. tresses a space was made under them by the side of the -wail, into which the Marquis was able to crawl. When he was safely hidden, Grace got into bed. Hardly had she done so when the guards arrived for a routine search. At first Grace appeared fright- ened when they ordered her to get up and accompany them while they searched the pre- mises. Then she agreed, but said that they must be hungry and thirsty, so she sent her servants for wine, cognac, cold game and pies. When the meal was finished, the men thanked her and left in peace. At last the half -suffocated Marquis could be released. A few days later Grace organized his escape to England. But her own arrest soon followed. After the revolution, Daily went to London. Her daughter, now sixteen, was still living with Lord Cholmondeley, who had married. Wherever the exile went she found doors closed against her. It was twelve years since she had last been in Lon- don and she was almost a legend. She decided not to intrude in her daughter's life but to return to France, but she was arrested at Calais as an English spy. She was soon released, but from then onwards nothing is known of her; His Initials eren't Funny What does a sensitive young man do when he finds that his initials, M. U. G., have become a source of embarrassment to him in his 'business and private life? An American living in New York got out of this dilemma recently by dropping his middle initial, U. People wno have found their initials made G.A.T., C.A.D., F.O.O.L., N,A.R.K., T.U.B., and scores of other such combina- tions have in the past also dropped a Christian name rather then endure the smiles and puns of friends and relatives. The Yorkshireman who gave up the middle name, Oliver, and so changed his initials from C.O.D. to C.D., has never had reason to regret doing so. That brilliant composer, the late Sir Arthur Sullivan had to put up with a lot of cheap chaff when he was a lad because his parents rather unwisely gava him the forenames Arthur Sey- mour, making his initials A.S.S. Sullivan stopped these jibes after a time by dropping his centre name.
