HERE AND THERE

Married Four Times,

The Earl of Eanfurly, sometime Governor of New Zealand, whose. death was announced this week, will be succeeded in the title and estates by his grandson, Viscount Northland, aged 20. The mother of this young peer has the somewhat unusual distinction of having been married four times, states an exchange. Her first husband was the late Lord Banfurly's only sou and heir, Viscount Northland, who was killed in action in 1915, being survived by his widow and two sons. Lady Northland remarried in 1917 the Hon. Geoffrey Mills,'son of Lord Hillingdon, who died the same year; in 1918 Captain J. S. Michael Wardell, of the lOtli Hussars, became her third husband. Some years later she divorced him, and in 1929 took as her fourth husband Mr. Julian Joseph Lezard, of Kimbcrley, South Africa. A writer in an exchange says:— "It has been written by a cynic that a second marriage is a triumph of faith over experience! What a fourth must be staggers tho imagination!" Advertising Club.
