Pompous Mr. Curzon

Jlr. George Curzon is attracting considerable interest in England since he Bucceeded in winning his vray into parliament by the aid of money of the former Mary Leiter, whom he married, on his own eonfession, with the understanding that a goodly sum of her millionaire f ather's fortune should be settled upon him in exchange for his mighty name. Mr. Curzon is the laughing stock of his associates in the governmental work, because of his bumptiousness and because of the too-evident f act that he reached his present ,position only through his American dollars. The English papers openly charge him with a ""what-I-don't-know-is-not-worthknowing" air, a sentiment which he boasted even in his Oxford days. He is aristocratie, handsome and clever and he is fully aware of all these qualities. In matter of dress he is exceedlngly careful and his blonde hair is parted in the exact middle. Heir to a peerage, married to one of America's most beautiful and wealthy women, under secretary for foreign affairs in the house of commons and spoken of by friends and foes alike as a possible premier, it would seem that there would be few who would openly dare to mention aloud his peculiarities, but his overwhelming consciousness of all these favorable points is too evident for bis critics to ref rain f rom an occasional at his high and mighty manner.
