Nov. 29.—The corre spondent of The American learned from a high authority to-day that as soon as certain matters can be ar ranged without attracting too much notoriety the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough will start their lives anew and resume together their rec ognized position in society. The reconciliation of the most pop ular Duchess In all England and her husband is something for which the friends of the couple at court have hoped for years. Queen Mary has tried to bring it about. She has used all the arts of diplomacy for two reasons; the first because she is particularly fond of the Duchess, and the second because of the children of the pair. The Duchess has sacrificed much for the children, her two boys—Lord Tver Spencer Churchill and the Mar quis of Blanford The boys are now of an age—one is 17 and the other 18— to realize their positions before the world. They are at an age when they long for all the social advantages to which their parentage entities them. A third reason for the reconcilia tion aside from the children and Queen Mary’s interest is the keen anxiety of the Duke t .> be included in the next Tory Cabinet. This is prac tically impossible under the present condition of his matrimonial affairs. The Duchess of Marlborough. who is to become recon ciled tc the Duke through the kindly offices of King George and Queen Mary.
