Sewoll Ilorio In lie second son of the Charles Louis Unrips of Ilydal. IJls mother was Miss Helen Scwcll, n clniiRliter of the late Oenernl Hewoll, of Camden, and his father Is the son of Mr. Ueauveau Horie and a grandson of the late Mr. Charles Louis Horle, whose home mnny years ago wns at 1002 Spruce street. TjOuIs Borlo Howell's eldest brother married Mary Alice Clay, of this citv. lie has another hrothcr, Henry l Horls, named for his late great uncle, nnd there arc one or two other brothers. No date has been named for the wed ding, -but people don't wait long these days, you know. I HAVE been hearing qifite n good deal about Lord IUbblcsdnle since Mrs. Astor's marriage. to him was an nounced, nnd it does seem astonishing that the first news about the wedding told us In Philadelphia icr.v little about him. In fact, one wonders what the tables Tcro thinking about vhrn it was lcported with the llrt news that "littlo was known about him." AVo in Philadelphia naturally are in terested in Mm. Astor, as she was Ava Willing, the dnughtcr of the late Mr. and' Mrs. Edward Willing, of this cil, nnd made her debut hern nnd was matricd In this city to John Jacob Astor. She lived as n young girl nt the old Willing louo on South llroad Htioct, opposite the bouse which was owned by tlie late John (1. Johnson, on Ilinnd below Lomlmid, nnd next to the old Dundas house there. When Miss Willing married John Jacob Astor many n poison vvrm wild to have shaken his or her head, for minor had it that she did not ronlh tare for him; that another man, a Plitladclphiaii who remained mummied till his death several jears ago, would havo been her choice, but that hor mother uiged tlie Astor match. There was much gossip about it nt the time, though the wags made tip tlie awful pun "John Astor and she was Willing." Oh! Xancv, how could jou ever tcpiat nich a fearful joke? Anyway, wo all "know how it turned out. nnd that the Astors vveie ilivmeeel i-oine eight or ten yenrs ago, and that lie was drowned on the Titanic in 11)12 i chiming from Kuropc. Humor had it that Mrs. Astor was much sought after in England. He that ns it may, she did not marry during her former husband's lifetime. To return to Lord Itibblesdale. Mv dears, ho was gentleman in waiting to the late Queen Victoria and master of the rojnl buckhounds. John Sargent painted his portiait in his riding clothes, nnd from a cop'y I saw of it he is a wonderful-looking man.. The highest type of aristocrat and with twlnkley ejes, which show humor in their depths. They tell n story of him. One time in the House of Parliament, when a great question was being discussed, he was so absorbed apparently in the speeches that many ejes turned to him and a number wondered what thoughts were in the mind of this splendid speci men of English manhood. Later it le i eloped he hnd had a wager with some one as to how many members of Par liament were baldiieaded, nnd he was quietly counting them to himself while the speeches were going on. He had to pay staid attention, as sometimes a Inember would airive late or one would leave or move to another place. As soon as 1 heard that. I liked him ; I almost loved him. You know I love nnvbody to be simple. It appears the late Kiug Edward was very fond of Loid Ilibblct-iliilp and nlwnjs called him "the Ancestor," lic (.luse he looked mi like one. In fact, llie.v say itus the king who suggested that Surgent paint the portrait of Loid Itibblesdale and Mill it "The Ances tor." He's six foot thiee indies, minus his shoes. Some sie, that. Ho is u liiiitlicr-iii-lavv T former Piemier Asquith through his, first mar li.ige, and both of his sons wero killed in the East. Captain tiic Honorable Thomas Lister, the elder, named for his father, fell in the Somalihmd expedi tion in 11)01, and Charles, the younger, Jiu exceptionally blight joung man, was killed at Uallipoli in the Great War. I''rom other bits of gossip I have heard Queen Vlctoiia alvvajs spoke of Lord Ribblesdale as the most perfest lord-iu-vvaitiug ever imposed on her by any administration. Olsboruo Park, where the former Ava Willing will live henceforth, it being the old country seat of the Listeis, is a wonderful place. The houso is made of granite brought from the Yorkshiic J'clls close by and the grounds are at tlie junction of the Itibbio and Stockbcck lheis. Lady IUbblcsdnlc, ns jou know, is a icmsin of Charlie Willing and George Willing, of this iltj. Mis. 11. Fiankjiu Pepper is nnother ciiiihIu, I do so hope that this miuriuge in the middle spun of life will prove, to be a happy one for her. NAXOY. WYNNI3.
