HUSBAND’S STRIKING TRIBUTE
Known as the “perfect wife,” Lady Dalziel. of Wooler, England, died* at the. age of 80 in London recently, knowing that she had fulfilled her trust, states an English exchange. Ten years ago her husband, Lord Dalziel, the “Pullman Car King,” left to her in his. will his fortune of £2,275,000 without any restrictions. He did so having complete confidence in her business ability and common sense, and his wjll was a- striking tribute to the Jove and devotion hci felt for his wife, to whom he had been married for more than 50 years. Lady Dalziel spent her fortune in the way her husband would have wished. .She invested wisely and gave generously to. charity and until a few weeks before her death took an active interest in her business affairs. One result of her generosity is the Dr. Barnardo’s Home for boys at Kingston Hill, Surrey, which she built and e.quipped in memory of her husband and of her only daughter, who died as a young ’’girl. Lady Dalziel lived a simple life, spending little on clothes and entertainment, but when she gave, she gave generously.
