...rose Viscount Cecil, No. 1 exponent in Britain of the League of Nations and stager of the 11,000,000-vote Peace Ballot (TIME, Sept. 2, 1935).

Last week her father, Lord Belper, delighted the happy pair with a wedding present of a fine brood mare, but knowing Viscount & Viscountess St. Davids bestowed the gift supreme: 24 volumes of the Blood Stock Breeders Review. In the friendly atmosphere of English tenantry toward their Duke no less than 94 ash trays and 61 lamps came in, along with the presents of Queen Mother Mary, King George & Queen Elizabeth, for as Burke...
