SECOND HONEYMOON

FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN DIVORCED COUPLE REMARRY. Behind the announcement that a couple who quarrelled and parted on their honeymoon five years ago are to remarry lies a singular etory of reconciliation, says the News of the World. The two people are Mr George John Anthony Cathcart Walker Heneage, of Killochim Castle, Girvan, and his former wife,' Mrs Jean Heneage. Mr Heneage was divorced by his wife two years ago after costly litigation. Ho is now 27, and Mrs Heneage is 31. Revealing how they met and fell in love again, Mrs Heneage stated recently: “After the divorce I left Killochan Castle, never expecting to go back again. Now we are staying at Turnberry to arrange to put the castle in order for residence after we get back from our second honeymoon. I think we were both upset by the divorce proceedings, but that is of the past. We arc happy to start afresh. “ l do not know exactly how our new romance began. We just seemed to drift together again. I met Mr Heneage in London recently, and we 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 be happier about everything than our little son David. He is nearly four, and is too young to realise thoroughly all that has* occurred, but if smiles and laughter count, th« boy is wonderfully

pleased. Mr Heneage and I will be married again on July 12 at a London register office.” Mr and Mrs Heneage arc cousins, and their courtship began in very young days. Their wedding at St. Paul’s, Kuightsbridge, in December, 1929, united two great sporting families. Mr Heneage 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 late 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 the House of Lords appeal that Mr and Mrs Heneage quarrelled on their honeymoon and parted at Marseilles, the wife returning to London and the husband going to Switzerland.

The entire proceedings connected with the divorce, it was stated, cost over £20,000.
