SECOND HONEYMOON

FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN DIVORCED COUPLE REMARRY SUIT THAT COST £20,000 Behind tho announcement that a couple who quarrelled and parted on their honeymoon fivo years ago are to remarry lies a singular story of reconciliation, says the News of tho World. Tho two peoplo are Mr. George John Anthony Cathcart Walker Heneage, of Killochan Castle, Girvan, and his former wife, Mrs. Jean Heueage. Mr. Honcage was divorced by his wife two years ago after costly litigation. Ho is now 27, and Mrs. Heneago is 31. Revealing how they met and fell in lovo again, Mrs. Heneago stated recently: "After tho divorce I left Killochan Castle, never expecting to go back again. Now wo aro staying at Turnberry to arrange to put the castle in order for residence after we get back from our second honeymoon. 1 think we were both upset by tho divorce proceedings, but that is of tho past. We are happy to start afresh. "I do not know exactly how our new romance began. Wo just seemed to drift together again. I met Mr. Heneago in London recently, and wo had what I suppose you would call a second courtship. At any rate, we made it up. We have discovered that we are indispensable to each other. " Neither Mr. Heneage nor myself could bo happier about everything than our little son David. He is nearly four, and is too young to realise thoroughly all that has occurred, but

it smiles and laughter count the boy is wonderfully pleased. Mr. Heneage and I will be married again on July 12 at a London register office." Mr. and Mrs. Heneage are cousins, and their courtship began in very young days. Their wedding at St. Paul'B, Knightsbridge, in December, 1929, united two great sporting families. Mr. Heneago is a big-game hunter, and Mrs. Heneage is a keen follower of hounds in Leicestershire. Before her marriage Mrs. Heneage was Miss Jean Mann Thomson, daughter of the lato Colonel W. D. Thomson, of the Royal Horse Guards. Mrs. Heneage divorced her husband after a series of hearings and appeals that began in Edinburgh and went finally to the House of Lords. Mrs. Heneage was granted a divorce decree with the custody of the child. Against this decision Mr. Heneage appealed unsuccessfully. It was stated at tho House of Lords appeal that Mr. and Mrs. Heneago quarrelled on their honeymoon and parted at Marseilles, tho wife returning to London and the husband going to Switzerland. Tho entire proceedings connected with the divorce, it was stated, cost over £20,000.
