When the news of Lord Chesterfield's engage-ment to the lovely Miss Enid Wilson, the late Lord Nunburnholme's daughter, was announced, in 1900, it was received with some incredulity, on account of the fact that, being forty-six years of age, his lordship had been regarded as a confirmed bachelor. However, the marriage duly took place, and proved an unusually interesting one, not only on account of the high social position of the bride and bridegroom, but also because of their exceptional good looks. Lord Chesterfield is credited with being the best-looking and best-groomed man in Society, while his wife is a very lovely woman - fair, with Titian red hair, deep blue eyes, and delicate features. She was one of the prettiest peeresses at the Coronation of King George. At the same time, she is a keen sportswoman. At the wedding her bridesmaids wore hunting " pink," while one of her presents from the bridegroom was a rifle. She is not only a very clever shot, but exhibits prowess with a fishing-rod, and can throw a fly with the dexterity of an accomplished angler. Lady Chesterfield is passionately fond of country life, but is obliged to spend the greater part of the year in London, on account of the fact that her husband holds the position of Lord Steward to his Majesty's household.
