The news of the engagement of Earl Curzon of 
Kedleston to Mrs. Grace Elvina Duggan of Buenos 
Aires and London recalls the first Lady Curzon whose 
death occured in 1906. She was Mary Victoria Leiter, 
daughter of the late Levi Z. Leiter of Chicago and Washi- 
ington and of the Beverly Farms colony. Her marriage 
took place in 1895 and four years later her husband was 
appointed viceroy of India. She became a queen in fact 
if not in name and won the hearts of the people by her 
relief work during the year of famine. Many and costly 
gifts were showered upon her by the native princes of 
India. She also worked hard for the uplift of Indian 
women. The Indian Nursing association, which provides 
nurses for European women in India, is a result of her 
work. The Curzons returned to England in 1904, and 
while there Lady Curzon contracted an illness from 
which she never thoroughly recovered, although she re- 
turned to India before her death two years later. Three 
daughters were born of this union.
