HIGH SOCIETY SCANDAL. LORD DALMEXY'S EXPENSIVE WIFE. Even the war cannot keep society from thinking of and discussing the latest and most astonishing scandal developed in the row between Lord and Lady Dalmeny over their financial relations. For the eldest son and heir of Lord Rosebery and teh beautiful daughter of Lord Ilenrv (Irosvenor to quarrel is bad enough: but to publish ftheir quarrel in the paid advertising columns of The Times, as though they were a pair of middle-class shopkeepers, lias shocked London as it has not been shocked for years. Lord Dalmeny started the row by insert intr an advertisement in The Times announcing that lie would not be responsible for debts contracted after a certain date by Lady Dalmeny. Lady Dahnenv responded with an advertisement of her own, setting forth her debts in detail, and showing an aggregate of £3 3s. Then, she added: On my household account £2060, represented by a bank overdraft, which Dalnieny had full knowledge of and never objected to. Since my marriage in 1H0!) Dalmeny never made any payment on my account beyond a certain fixed personal allowance, never exceeding CI,OOO a year, and an allowance for household expenses, never exceeding £I,OOO a year. The romance of the Dalmenys began in 1900, when the future Lady Dalmeny waa a schoolgirl of 17. Despite -the objection of Lord ellnry Grosvenor to his daughter's marriage before she had made her debut, the pair overcame alt ob•taaU* and, vera married. Both

devoted to hunting and racing, and the match was regarded us ideal. Two children (a son and a daughter) were horn of the marriage. They are with their mother. Lord Dalmeny has a Staff appointment in the British Army. 9,0.00 MARRIAGE PROPOSALS. New Zealanders may be already aware of Hetty Green, a remarkable American millionairess, who died a short time ago, and who was noted for her extraordinary parsimony, although possessed of untold riches. Her son, Colonel Edward Ilowland Robinson Green, has just been married, after a romantic career. His bride was Miss Mabel E. Harlow, of Highland Park, a north shore suburb of Chicago. The ceremony took place at the home of Miss Harlow's aunt, Mrs George N. Campbell, with whom Miss Harlow has lived since the death of her mother five years ago. Fifteen years ago Green had a business deal involving some property that Campbell was interested in, and the two men met at that time. Campbell invited Green to visit him at at his home in Highland Park, and Miss Harlow was also a guest there at the time. Their acquaintance soon grew into friendship. Miss Harlow was a frequent visitor in New York duritr: the past few years, and was also • ■ guest of Green and his mother, who expressed great admiration for her. (!r,...-,-i is 48, and his bride admitted 47 summers. The "most-proposed-to man in the world," who declared that the newspapers had caused him to receive 0,000 letters of proposal during the last 15 years, showed his human and democratic side on the eve of the wedding. "Now, let us forget dollars," he said. "Just shoot away at Ed. Green. lam a human being. 1 want you fellows and the public to know me as such," he said to a small army of reporters who besieged him for details. "I remember once," he added, "overhearing the remark 'Hell! Is t-liat the son of Hetty Green?' It seemed to stagger the person because he found me human. I want to say right now I am not marrying a society bud. lam marrying a truly sensible woman. I do not know who is going to be the boss. All I can say is that I am going to try to be." While not shunning society, Miss Harlow has devoted much of her time to charities both in Chicago and New York. Colonel Green, as is well known, shares with his sister, Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks, the 100,000,000-dol-lar estate left by the late Mrs. Hetty ,Green.
