Her name will go down in history as the author of a book of memolrs exposing all the scandals in high life during the Victorian ers. It was not until the countess of ardi- gan was 8 years old and almost for- gotten that she startied England with her chronicle of arlstocratic scandal under the title of My Recollections,”” in which she cencealed nothing to save her own reputa- tion or others. Many herole figures of history, such as Disraell, emerged from her book considerably shrunken. The countess’ father was Spencer de Horsey, M. P, and her mother the daughter of the earl of Stradbroke. From childhood, Adeline de Horsey moved in the highest society In England. The duke of Wellington was one of her father's intimates. The young woman's views were de- cldedly advanced for her time, and be- cause she was not allowed a latch-key, she left home and got a house of her own in London. It was at this time she met the earl of Cardigan. The earl possessed brute cournge and nothing else, and falled of promotion to a generalship on this account He had made an unhappy marriage Read it!
