Berkeley house, near Canterbury,
Kent, England, baa been leased by
the duchess of Marlborough, the tor*
mer Ccnsueio Vanderbilt. This is one
of England's historic old estates, but
it Is not because of this that the
duchess has secured the place for her
future residence. Her younger sen,
Lord Ivor Churchill, It appears has
weak lunga, and the splendid situation
of Berkeley ball and Its hssltafutoess
offered aa ideal place for the young
lad. The duchess Is a devoted mother,
and she anxiously watches over the
health of her two boys, and proposes
moving to Berkeley house solely for
the sske of the younger boy.
As is Well known Consuclo Is one
of many of the American girls whose
marriage to foreigners of title has not
turned out happily. But when the
breaking point came and she sepa-
rated from the duke she did not give
way to Idle pining, nor did she en-
deavor to forget her sorrow by plung-
ing Into the social whirl, but rather
did she endeavor to get her mind off
her troubles by engaging to charitable
work, giving of bar time and money
for, the betterment >of conditions
among the poor women of London.
The summer the duchess has spent
to Paris, but the first thing she did
upon her return to London was to
prestos at the opening of n charitable’
baser to the poorest district of Lon-
don's East end. And not only did she
open the baser, bat she plunged right
into the work of selling the articles
offered for sale and used all the gen-
tle arts' of sweet persuasion to get
good prices for the goods.
The dearest enemies of the duchess
are talking eagerly of the sensation
her dlrectolro costumes caused In
Paris One day at the Hotel Rlts she
wore a gown la the extremest style,
with a very soft, silky skirt, cut to
cling so closely that It seemed impos-
sible that Mm coaid walk to It. It
drew up about her ankles every* step
ahe took. It had a shOrt train, but
otherwise was quite plain. Tbs coat
was kmg, reaching half way down the
skirt, and was made with enormous
rovers of black satin. The long,' close
sleevee worn buttoned tp the elbow
filth black aatto buttons. Many frills
of fins old toco filled the front of the
gent. Among these was fastened
aa enormous brooch set with large
diamonds, g
meat of great value,

Dlrectolre costumes aid fairly com-
mon to Parip, but the duchess’ appear-
ance was so remarkabto' that every
one on the street turned rated to ob-
serve her. Her height: bar fiakalt, re-
fined features, her ’giberal ter, her
coloring, ber costume, simple to de-
sign but brilliant to effect, made her
the absolute type of an .aristocratic
woman of fashion.
She stopped at the Cafe Vhfsln. a
small, unpretentious restaurant an the
Rue Cambon, but which la known to

Probably there are tow ruins to his-
toric old New England ao picturesque
as the abandoned lighthouse tower at
Scltuate, Mass. Built to 1811 and un-
oocupled since 1880, It has fallen Into
dangerous disrepair. The openings
are boarded up to keep people out.
and one can hear bits of brick and
mortar dropping down Inside as one
peers through cracks at the empty In-
terior.
The townspeople have interested
themselves to years past to petition
the government to restore the tower
and to maintain It as a historic monu-
ment, but nothing has come of the
petitions.
The tower, not*easily seen from the
deck of steamers passing, their
course being some miles off shore, is
wonderfully striking as aeea from the
town side of the harbor, standing
gaunt and gray against (he eastern
sky and to be reached only by the
long beach road that winds round
the curve of the round, lake-like hail
bor, out to the rocky point where the
tower stands close to the north aide
of the very narrow entrance.
The tower was built to 1811 at a
coat of about MAM mad la Interesting
as an example of the kind of light-
house tower generally constructed 100
years ago.
Some were, built of rubble from the
near-by beach and were .conical to
form, never very high and always
with a good broad base.
Some were octagonal and built of
hewn blocks and brick upper works,
as this one eras. The stnut fpibered
dwelling house. Joining the tower by
a heavy timbered-covered run. has

character of the light shewn, but

ing been literally crossed off the atop-
The establishment of a' light at
Mlnots In 1847 hardly affected the «dd
Scltuate light. Mlnots then was small
and of low elevation.
Following Its destruction In the
storm of 1881 a lightship was main-
tained near the rocks till the com-
pletion of the second and present
Mlnots light, the tall tower of world-
wide fame, with its brilliant signal
flash, 1-4-3, which dominates the
horlson.
Even tts first plain white and very
bright light served all the purposea of
a coast guide and made unneceasdfy
the old white light near by at Scltuate.
It was Judged that two lights close
together would confuse mariners, and
Scltuate, declining in commercial Im-
portance, no longer needed a harbor
light of tts own.
The discontinuance of the light
naturally roused indignation among
the townspeople and caused a feeling
of lasting jealousy toward Cohasset,
prideful over its grand new Mlnotf.
The 8cltuate light was one of the
earliest on the New England coast.
The old-time surveyor*and those offi-
cers ot the government who had thane
matters la hand pondered hard on, the

where lighthouses were asked for. by
the people. Sites were chosen to

but each light was established To

want and without reference to any
general system.’*
-Eight towers were In existence la
the United 8tatea when, by the set of
August 7, 1789. the Uslted States "ac-
cepted the cession of the title to gad
io«bm
Joist jurisdiction o?er the llghth
on the coast, and agreed to maintain
them thereafter."
These are all to existence, and qfied
at the present time, identical to pur-
pose and site- although greatly altered
and Improved.
Between 1716. when Boston Iffhfc
the first of *fi the U. 8. lights, was
built, and 1810. the number of lights
was 88. which included the tower fit

some time or other, generally to the
early part of the married state. Here
Is the way it was:
They bad been married two weeks
and were settled to a Harlem flat. He
sat Jg the Morris chair, smoking with
apparent contentment, but there were
signs that he was a Mt restless. She
idly picked up the evening paper and
glanced over It, bat no divorce suits
were chronicled at any length and
there were no new affinity oases
practically nothing but whole psges of
politics, so she tossed the paper away.
There were a few desultory observa-
tions from each other; but, strange to
say,-it semed a trifle difficult to keep
. a conversation going. Of course there
was toe eternally fruitful topic of
themselves and what each meant to
too other, but this subject bad been
f so thoroughly discussed during their
honeymoon tost neither felt exactly
like taking It up again now. They
wore trying now to Ignore their new-
ness to each other and wanted to seem
settled find married-like. Bo there
was a hint of uncertainty, a vague
uaenstome to the alr. Hubby .glanced
at his bride at if he felt that to his
capacity as head of the household and
her lord and master it was up to him
to do or say something or other, but
he didn’t know what.
He glanced at her again. Their eyes
met, and Instantly each looked off
somewhere to aa attempt not • to seem
self-conscious. Finally he spOke.
“Would you like to go to a show this
evening?”
“Why, I don’t know; do yon want
to go?” Inquired the bride sweetly.
“Why, no, not specially; but 1
thought maybe you’d like to go.”
“Why, yes. I’d like to go if you
think yon’d care to.”
“Well, 1 don’t particularly wish to;
but I thought if yon felt as If you
wanted to see a show, why, we’d go.”
“But I don’t want to drag you out
with you looking ao comfy and fixed!”
protested toe bride affectionately.
“How absurd 1” said hubby fondly.
“That doesn’t mutter If you think you
woeld> like to go oat.”
“But I don’t wsht to go if you’re
coming along Just because yon think
you’re pleasing me.”
“Nonsense! Why, 1 want to go If
you want to go.”
“Yes, that’s just It! Bat I don’t
want to go unless yen do.”
“But then It will ffilve me ao partic-
ular pleasurs to go to a show unless
I know yon are enjoying it.”
“Why, of course 1 will enjoy It If
you’re along.”
"All right, then,” said he promptly.
’’Come on and well go.” .
“But Just now,” said she anxiously,
"you said poa didn’t particularly care
to; 1 am sure 1 shouldn't want, to go
unless I felt that yon were getting as
pinch fun out of It as I.”
“Fiddlesticks!” He said it a trifle
impatiently. “Now listen to me and
answer yes or’no—do you or do you
not went to go to a show?”
“Why, you know, Harry, I’d just
lovp to, but—"
“All right, then, we’ll go!” ex-
' claimed he a bit shortly, springing
to bis feet.
“But I’d be perfectly miserable all
the time," said the bride, “thinking
that you’d come-just to please me, and
that we might have had a cozy little
evening at home if—**
“All right then, we won’t go,” man-
fully repressing an Impulse to anger
and replying resignedly as he sat
down again.
He picked up the paper and pre-
tended to become immediately ab-
sorbed In It, settling baok In his chair
with an air of patient’hut Irrevocable
finality. Mrs. Bride glanced appeal
ingly st him, but bis face was atony
and gave her no comfort. She sat
perturbed and anxious, feeling as if
something dreadful had happened. A
deathlike silence ensued for perhaps
.two minutes. Mrs. Bride then broke
It fearfully.
“Harry,” she said, “I feel perfectly
dreadful—as if you were terribly an-
gry at me. But you are not, are you?”
Pause. “I did think when you first
mentioned a show that It would be
nice to see John Drew. I’ve been Just
crazy to see him to that new play of
Us. but 1 was not sure that—”
•Then you do want to go, after all?"
said her husband, laying down bis pa-
per and staring across at her mystl-
fledly.
“Why, I always love to go to the
theater, but—”
“Then, for heaven’s sske, come on
and let’s go!”
, So they went, but neither enjoyed
the play, because Harry was grump-
lsh and bis wife was hurt On their
return Harry stumbled over something
to the dark hallway, and said "h—1!"
and the bride’s feelings gave way im
mediately. Then ensuod their first
quarrel. It Is said they all go through
tt some time or other, generally to the
chriy part of the nmrrtcd state.
