LADIES' GOSSIP.
While visiting one of the aircraft firms at Chiswick King George talked cordially with Lady Victoria Bentinck, daughter of the Duke of Portland, who is working at Chiswick with Lady Sybil Pierpont and Mrs Brownlaw and an exprofessor of Gii'ton College. Lady Victoria does her full week in the factory, takes her meals in the canteen, and shares generally the honours and toils of women workers. * Miss Constance Winifred Amor and Sir Guy Chetwynd, Bart., have been quietly married. Miss Amor is a dainty and charming actress, well known to the public under her own name—Connie Amor. Sir Guy Chetwynd, who succeeded to the baronetcy last March, is the son of Sir George Chetwynd, for many years famous in connection with the turf. In 1'902 ho married a pretty and wealthy young American lady, the daughter of Mr W. H. Secor, of i\ew Yotk. She divorced him seven years later. One of the great captains of industry in Scotland lias specially organised and equipped an engineering factory for the employment exclusively of educated women of good social standing and in contradistinction to the women factory worker, and with the fixed determination to carry on operations permanently under those conditions. The work is managed by women, the head is a "Gir.ton. girl," _ with those- characteristics which are desirable for guiding and stimulating the girl 'students to success. Indeed, the factory
has some of the salient features of a tchnical college combined with practicai i work in the factory which gives that j stimulus to study not realisable in the i laboratory of the college.
