MRS. STIRLING REMARRIES.

By Tclejraph-Press Assoclatlon-Oonyrleht . London, March 7. ■ Mrs. Stirling, who was divorced, by "her husband in. March, 1909, has married Lord George Cliolmondeley. ' . . : -Mrs. Stirling is a young American woman, twenty-sis years of ago, and before she married Mr. Stirling . was a chorus girl in the musioal "comedy "The Earl and the Girl." Tho co-respondeut in the divorce case was Lord Northl.ind, heir to Lord Ranfurly, formerly Governor of New Zealand. Mrs. Stirling brought a cross-action against her husband, vhieh was unsuccessful. Lord Guthrie, in summing up, dealt severely with the parties. Eighteen days, ho said, or a time equal to a Scottish University winter session, had been spent in deciding whether four "selfish idlo people" ' were adulterers or merely flirts. The Judge, caustically describing their habits, declared them to bo of a low mental endowment, lacking good taste and feeling and serious human interests, and given up to self-indulgence. The wife breakfasted in bed at midday, and the whole party spent one Sunday in manicuring each others' nails. These people, said I.ord Guthrie, all treated life as a comedy, but they had made a.pitiful and costly tragedy of it. Mrs. Stirling, ho said, was ostracised from society by her own incapacity to adopt or ape its manners, to take or affect an interest in its conventional pursuits and to adhere to its standards.
