THE ^WEST ET^I>

The King on his visit to Yorkshire last week was attended 
by Lord Stamfordham, Sir Cliarles Cust, and Major R. H. 
Seymour. His Majesty's presence gave rise to much 
enthusiasm ; as usual he went about without any formality, 
and it was not always easy to make a path for his car 
when the ne\vs spread that the King was on his way. 
Only the other day the great Houses of Lennox and Bentinck 
were united by marriage. Now is announced a forth- 
coming union between the Cecils and the Cavendishes, 
Lord Cranborne, eldest son of the Marquis of Salisbury 
being engaged to Miss Betty Cavendish, eldest daughter 
of Lord Richard and Lady Moyra Cavendish. The bride 
elect, who will only be nineteen in January, is the niece 
of the Duke of Devonshire, and a grand-daughter through 
her mother of the tenth Duke of St. Albans. Lord Cran- 
borne was twenty-two at the end of August. Everyone 
rejoices at these inter-marriages of the old families, with 
their splendid traditions of service and self-sacrifice. 
Lord Cavan is the head of the I.ambarts, and his family motto : 
Ut quocunque paralus, which may be roughly translated 
" Ready for whatever happens," seemed lately very 
appropriate, when within a few days he was given the 
Cross of the Legion of Honour and elected a Repre- 
sentative Irish peer. Lord Cavan, who was formerly in 
the Grenadier Guards, was through the South African 
War. The connection of his family with Ireland began in 
Elizabeth's reign, when Sir Oliver Lambart went there 
as an officer in the army of Lord Essex and was appointed 
Governor of Connaught ; the earldom was conferred by 
Charles I. on Sir Oliver's son Charles. The present 
peer, who is the tenth Earl, is certainly the most dis- 
tinguished soldier of them all. 
Lord Lisburne, who is on the staff of General Sir Francis 
Lloyd, is another Irish earl, though neither he nor his 
family has anything to do with the sister island. For 
this reason he has not established his right to vote at 
the elections of Irish representative peers. The Vaughans 
are one of the oldest and noblest houses of Wales, their 
pedigree being traced back to very remote times. It was 
in 1695 that the Viscounty of Lisburne was conferred 
on John Vaughan, who married Malet, a daughter of 
the second earl of Rochester. This marriage is still 
commemorated at the font, for Malet is among the present 
peer's Christian names. He is only three and twenty, 
and married last year the beautiful daughter of Don 
Jiulio de Bittencourt of the Chilian Legation. 
Going into the Ritz restaurant for luncheon the other day, 
the first person I saw was M. Edwards, the Chilian 
Minister, at his favourite table near the door. Lord 
Derby, who looked pulled down after his attack of in- 
fluenza, was with a family party. It was very pleasant 
being able to sit in the sunshine, for the day was cold, 
and the luncheon was good, Charles giving us the benefit 
of his advice in the choice of wines. 
The French Government have just appointed a Committee 
to investigate the best means of teaching the French 
language in schools and colleges. Small matter though 
this may seem at first glance, it is reaUy of importance. 
For one thins; it marks the determination of France to
