MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE.
CAMERA-SHY LADY NUFFIELD. Lady Nuffield, modest, camera-shy wife of the British motor magnate, took her husband into the country during a recent week-end to escape telephone calls, telegrams and interviews. So many people wanted to know from Lord Nuffield what it felt like to give away £1,250,000 to'Oxford University—a gift which he followed up with a further £35,000 to the National Institute for the Blind. Lady Nuffield is rarely seen in public. She refuses to be photographed, and dislikes all public functions. Very occasionally Oxford sees her when, quietly dressed, without jewels, she slips into the local theatre and leaves inconspicuously before the curtain falls. One of the two daughters of Mr. William Anstey, Oxford furrier, Lady Nuffield was formerly a school teacher. She married Lord Nuffield—then Bill Morris, mechanic—in 1904.
