Mary, Lady Inverclyde is a pleasant hostess in London , and she delights to give a dance for her young friends, but she has many other interests besides society, being concerned with all good works more or less connected with those who go down to the sea in ships. She was a Miss Fergusson of Ayr, and at her former home, Castle Wemyss, and at her present house in London she has always been interested in philanthropic schemes. Lord Kitchener* was the best man for the first time.
