SOCIETY DIVORCE CASE
YOUTHFUL COUNTESS AS PLAINTIFF. WEALTH BUT NOT HAPPINESS. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright > LONDON, March 2. (Received March 3, at 9 p.m.) A sensational divorce case has commenced at the Edinburgh Court at the instance of the 22-ycar-old Countess of Kinnoull against the Earl, whom she married in December, 1923. The marriage was one of the events of the season, the bride being a granddaughter of Sir Frederick Wills, the millionaire tobacconist. The carl, prior to his marriage, was alleged to have been engaged to Mrs Surlc, an ex-chorus girl, but the family hurriedly packed him off to South Africa. When he returned he married the countess, whose mother, Mrs Margaret Hamil-ton-Fcllows, died in October, leaving the countess £2,000,000. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
