LIFTMAN BARONET

RECONCILIATION WITH WIFE. Sir Reginald Wolseley, who for many years was a lift attendant at Waterloo, lowa, sailed for Liverpool from New York recently with Lady Wolseley. The baronet, who is a shy, slight, silver-haired man nearly 60, said: T think my wife and I will get along together. I am hoping to get work as a librarian.” Sir Reginald explained that Lady Wolseley, formerly Miss Marion Elizabeth Baker, of Brixham, Devonshire, and he were married at Waterloo in 1930 after a short acquaintance. She had to return to England the day after the wedding, and he was preparing to apply for a divorce when she returned and effected a reconciliation.

“Because we were apart so soon after our marriage, I quite misunderstood my wife,” the baronet added. “Now that we have come together we understand each other much better. I take back all those things that were said or done by me. I am sorry they caused her so much trouble, and hope to atone for them.” Lady Wolseley, who was formerly a trained nurse and is now a church worker, said: “I married Sir Reginald because it was the dying wish of his mother. We had never seen each other before.”
