Miss Esmé  Wallace, who is to marry Viscount Tiverton, son of the Earl of Halsbury, is a daughter of Lady Duff-Gordon by her first husband, and is a niece of Eleanor Glyn, the novelist.  Her mother married Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon seventeen years ago, and about twelve years ago she started a dressmaker's shop in London, in Clifford Street.  She was one of the first society women to engage in business, and her firm, under the trade name of "Lucille, Limited," [sic] now in Hanover Square, does an ultra smart business.  Like her sister, she hails from Canada.  Miss Wallace is very pretty, and her finacé, Lord Tiverton, wrote a play, "Naughty Nancy," under the pen name of Oliver Bath.  It was presented at the Savoy.  Lord Halsbury, his father, has been three times Lord High Chancellor.

    Please contact me Mr. Baber. It is alleged Cosmo Duff Gordon is my grandfather. I will gladly give you more information if this information is of interest to you. I would also be very grateful to read details of his life and character and where to find this information. So much is written about Lucile and so little about him.
