i really want to meet more dowager duchesses

NY Times headline of the day:
DUKE OF MANCHESTER WEDS MISS ZIMMERMAN; Married to Daughter of Cincinnati Railway Man Nov. 14. RELATIVES NOT NOTIFIED Dowager Duchess Did Not Credit Re- port Until Examination of Register of London Church Convinced Her It Was True
The report goes on to say that the Duke wished it be known that he had married for love, and that Miss Zimmerman had $10,000 a year now and almost unlimited prospects, since her father was one of the richest men in America.

He was a bankrupt spendthrift too, which isn't mentioned.
