The fact that Lord Brassey made in 1910 another world tour in his yacht the Sunbeam, in which he has already covered over 300,000 miles, reminds one that his wife is as equally enthusiastic a sailor, and has made many trips with her husband. She is the daughter of Viscount Maiden, and her maiden name was Sybil de Vere. She married Lord Brassey as his second wife in 1890, and is famed as a hostess. One meets everybody who is anybody at 24, Park Lane, a house which is really one of the sights of London, for it is filled with curios, jewels, armour, marble, porcelains, embroideries, etc., collected during the voyages of the Sunbeam. Lady Brassey's tall, stately beauty is much admired, and her white hair improves rather than detracts from her youthful personality. A kindly, sympathetic woman, her counsel and friendship is much sought after, and during her husband's governor-ship in Victoria, she gained much popularity.
