LADY MARJORIE MANNERS BECOMES MARQUIS' BRIDE Bow low to her?Lady Marjorle Manners, eldest daughter of the Duke of Hutland, is now the Mar chioness of An? glesey1 Arter ton years of BUBnense this "most beautiful girl In the king dom," as Queen Alexandra called her, was the oth er day married to one of England's richest peers. Lord Anglesey has a real $1,000, 000 a year. What la something more, ho is considered the handsomest man I In all the house of lords. He has I been In this country several times, I always after big game. London bociety?and this includes very many Americans?is all upset about the newest betrothal, quite the most important of the year. It is the greatest surprise of the season now ending. Designing dowagers have been angling after Anglesey ever Blnce he came so unexpectedly Into his marqulsute and his millions in 1905, and all but one of them are now beaten. Anglesey was only a cousin of the title?and the money?when it all suddenly came to him. That bejewel ed young fop, the- fifth Marquis of Anglesey, was his cousin. Crazy about clothes, actresses and display, he knew not how to enjoy the great wealth which was his. He died sud denly at Monte Carlo, and his body was flung into the suicide's patch awaiting orders from England. Final ly it was shipped there in a plain deal packing case, and only a score of persons attended the quiet funeral of the young man who had a million a year and didn't know how to spend it properly. And so to plain Charles Paget, his couBln, went the money and the title. This young chap was cast in a wholly different mold. Good-looking, clever, fond of life and people, he had spent his modest nineteen years in all sim plicity. He found his vast estates?. 40,000 acres make up his domain? quite encumbered. Even then they were worth $400,000 a year in Income to him, but careful management has put them back where they were when his eccentric cousin Inherited them. Today they are worth half n hundred million dollars and bring him In two hundred thousand pounds sterling a year Income, which 1b the American equivalent of a million dollars a year. Lady Marjorle was born In a tent near Las Vegas, N. M., when her par ents were spending a vacation there In 1883. The bride Is two years older than hor husband.
