Lady Alice, who is the wife of the Earl of Egerton, is also a descendant of that Earl of Bridgewater who was It ertainment of his fam- numerous one, by the way, con g of no less than fifteen chil- dren—that the “Masque of Comus” #as written. The story was founded on an incident in the"life of the eleventh daughter, herself a Lady Alice Egerton. And when it was first performed at the ’s castle at Ludlow it was she who Milton's stanch friend and patron. was for the en ily—a very s was cast for the Lady. The associations of the family are not only closely connected with the life of the poet, but with Cripplegate church, in which he found a final resting place and near which his new statue stands. The Earl who lived in Milton's day was a regular worshiper at St. Giles, €rip-| piegate, and often helped ring the same bells which pealed forth joyously the other day when the statue was uncov- ered.

While Milton's descendants were lost sight of in poverty and obscurity, his patron’s family flourished and pros- pered. Four Earls of Bridgewater suf- | ficed to make the fourth a Duke, but the Dukes ran out with the third of them. However, he had a nephew, who was George Granville, Marquis of Strafford, and by and by the first Duke of Sutherland, and to this nephew the last Duke of Bridgewater bequeathed the greater part of his immense prop- rty, including the famous picture gal- valued at $750,000. There was a ion to the Marquis’' second son, Francis Leveson-Gower, who came in for something like ,000 a year and in due time was 2d the first Earl of Ellesmere. He was the grandfather of the present Barl, the father of Lady Alice Eger- ton, who unveiled Milton's statue. LADY ALICE ARTISTIC. The family has inherited much of the literary and artistic tastes of the poet’s patron. Lady Alice Everton and has brought out a alled “The Lady of the Scarlot Sho But it is with her brush she most excels. She has become an art- ist by profession and has a studlo of her own in Brompton. The eldest daughter, Lady Mabel Egerton, and the youngest, Lady Leila, are both ac- complished women,. who sing and act and are in great request in theic own exclusive circle. Lady Beatrice Kamp, Lord thy crea book | the married daughter of the family, 'is also a clever woman with definite opinions of her ewn, who reads much both in prose and verse. Another daughter, Lady Helen, met with an untimely death at 17, She { was lying ill of some trifling malady . at Bridgewater House when a young footman in a fit of jealousy shot dead a housemaid with whom he had fallen The tragedy caused such a shock to Lady Helen's system that she died on the evening of the same day. The Earl of Ellesmere is one of England’s few literary peers and has recently published a new novel. He is ia notable figure in racing circles, but | though he owns some of the finest sta- bles in England he has never made a bet. In the agricultural world he cre- ated a sensation by a speclal breed of | white pigs; he is also known as the man who gave $5250 for a fighting gamecock.

But he will have to nay a stiff price for it.”” As a matter of fact it is expected that the Latin Psalter of 1459, which is to be sold in London on December 10, will produce the Jargest sum ever paid at auction for a printed book. That seems likely enough, too, when one con- | siders, the wonderful way in which the value of this rare work has increased in recent times. It is printed on vellum and with wonderful capnital letters, the method of whose production still puz- zles the student, is one of the great monuments of early printing.
