She married Lord Ashburton, who Was a member of the famous bank- ing family of Barings, in 1906. Lord Ashburton wags at that time a con- firmed bachelor, comfortably situated as to the world's goods and owned one of the finest baronial castles in Wngland, Then there 1s Eva Carrington, known as the “Fairyland” beauty, who married Lord de Clifford in 1906. Lord de Clifford's ‘title was the most ancient Im the British peerage, dating back more than six hundred years. He owned 13,000 acres of land in County Mayo, Ireland, on which there Was a histome barontal castle. This mar- riage was also a very happy one and aced by the birth of a,son, the Hon. fliward Southwell Russell, heir to one of the oldest titles in the kingdom, and a daughter. But in 1909 Lord do Clifford was killed in an automobile / Aocident at Bramber. Five years later Lady de Clifford married . Arthur Stock who bore no title bug owns Glgnaft Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland, and In Nery wealthy, Camille Clifford, who was a chorus gitl in “The Prince of Pilsen” and became ,famous through her memor- able wong, “Why Do They Call Me a Gibson Girl?” won her husband, Hon Henry Lyndhurst Bruce, eldest son of the Ear! of Aberdare, by her wit and hpauty. They were married in 1908, soon forgiven by the at tirat perplexed Lord Aberdare and settled down to baslege society. The wedded life of this couple was very happy indeed until 1915 when Capt. Bruce (who hag entered the British service) was shot {n France while carrying a flag of truce.
