LAND AND WATER 
THE "V^EST 
Should ever the King commit to paper his experiences, his 
Majesty would be able to write the most vivid account 
of human existence that has ever been penned. It is 
doubtful whether in history one can find any man who 
has witnessed so many aspects of life under such different 
circumstances. Take two extremes — the Delhi Durbar 
and the British trenches in Flanders last winter. Could 
there be greater contrast ? Or again, Coronation Day 
in Westminster Abbey, and a visit to a Military Hospital 
and a Munition Factory. Here again a great contrast, 
and yet they are intimately connected. 
The King displays a lively interest in everything he sees, and 
always asks to have full details made clear to him. In 
■■I ■iiiisB'iii l 3^ 
the preceding illustration his Majesty is seen inspecting 
some of the war products of the Rover Company's 
Motor Works, when on his recent visit to Coventry. 
Mr. Harry Smith of that Company is explaining the exact 
mechanism of the shells, &c., to his JIajesty. 
Fashionable weddings in London in the middle of August 
have hitherto been unheard of, but times and seasons 
are out of joint. The marriage of Lord Titchfield and 
Miss Ivy Gordon-Lennox is a union of the first importance, 
connecting as it does two great ducal houses, each in- 
timately connected with the past history of the realm. 
Titchfield, which gives the heirs of the Dukes of Portland 
their courtesy title, is a Hampshire village two miles 
from Fareham, which curiously enough supplied the 
Duchess of Portsmouth, mother of Charles Lennox, 
first Duke of Richmond, with the dignity of Countess 
of Fareham. It is often overlooked that the Duke of 
Portland derives his titles from the South of England. 
Miss Joan Cavendish-Bentinck, who was one of the bridesmaids 
at Mrs. Loring's wedding, is a cousin of the Duke of 
Portland. The marriage of the American Ambassador's 
daughter was celebrated at the Chapel Royal, St. James' 
Palace, and though it was said to be quiet, and the 
congregation was necessarily Hmited by reason of the 
Chapel's dimensions, yet it included the Prime Minister 
and Mrs. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey, .(Vmbassadors of 
France, Italy, and Japan, and the Ministers of Sweden, 
Norway, and Chile. The King and Queen's wedding 
present to Mrs. Loring was a tortoiseshell and lace fan. 
Tt is seven years since the wedding took place in London of 
the daughter of the last American Ambassador, Miss
