LADIES' GOSSIP.

Viscountess Campden was Miss Eyre before her marriage last November twelvemonth, and she as very charming and pretty. Viscount Campden, who was in France for some time with his the Ist Gloucesters, is now on General Shaw's Staff in Lord French's department. He. is Lord Gainsborough's eldest son, and is heir to the beautiful and sporting estate of Exton in Rutland, where one can hunt wdth ease with the best five packs in England—the Cottesmore, (which takes its name from a village on Lord Gainsborough's property and. which pack was started by Tom Noel,'an ancestor of this new baby), the Quorn, the Pytchley, the Belvoir and Mr Fernie's. Before the war Lord Campden was an honorary attache at Washington, and before that had been posted at Christiania and Stockholm. Lord Campden's grandfather, the late Earl of Gainsborough, married Lady Ida Hay, daughter of the sixteenth Earl of Errol, and so through her he is a second cousin of Princess Arthur of Connaught, her grandfather having married as Earl of Fife the late Lady Gainsborough's sister. Viscount Campden's brother, Captain the Hon. Charles Noel, is in the Coldstream Guards. He married Miss May DouglasDick, and they have three pretty children. The Army paid a noble and well deserved tribute to Miss Constance Seymour in giving her a funeral with full military honours. For she died for her country just as surely as any soldier on the battle field. She was nursing at the Connaught Military Hospital, Aldershot, when she contracted spotted fever and died after two days' illness, and at Aidershot she is buried. The funeral service was conducted by Lord Victor Seymour, the clergyman uncle of the lady. Miss Constance Seymour was the youngest daughter of Lord Ernest Seymour, uncle of Lord Hertford, and her mother, tJie late Lady Georgina Seymour, was a sister of Lord Fortescue. Countess Helena Gleichen, who has played a heroine's part on the Italian front, is among her kinswomen.
