The Countess of A Kinnoull was considered the best amateur violinist of her age in England. Lord Kinnoull, too, is a fine musician, and plays both the organ and the piano extremely well. An interesting feature of their wedding, in 1903, was that the melody for the hymn sung by the choir as the bride entered the church was composed by the bridegroom. A tall, handsome, dark-haired woman, Lady Kinnoull's talents are many and varied. She has done much excellent literary work, and many of her poems have been published. She also plays golf and croquet, and has become known as an expert reel dancer. That Lady Kinnoull has not lost her skill with the violin was amply demonstrated to a large audience when she played three solos in aid of charity at a London church. Lady Kinnoull is a keen and indefatigable philanthropic worker, and does much for poor working girls in the East End.
