Lady Colebrook a Sturdy and Successful Champion of the Cause of Lord Rosebery.
London, Nov. 15.-The dullness of the political atmosphere has been dispelled by the appearance of a new leader, namely, Lady Colebrook. Not since Disraeli's time has a woman taken such an active part in inner political circles.
Lady Colebrook is now regarded as the "Deus Ex Machina" of Lord Rosebery's party wherever she goes; and she goes almost everywhere, championing the ex-premier's cause. Society credits this talented and fascinating woman with several defections which have occurred from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's section of the Liberal party.
She is exceptionally interesting to Americans as she has two sisters-in-law, who are well known on the other side of the Atlantic, her brother Arthur Paget having married Miss Mary Stevens, and her brother Almeric having married Pauline, daughter of Wm. C. Whitney, both of New York.
Lady Colebrook is gifted with rare intelligence and an excellent voice; she can be seen at all the principal race meetings and social gatherings and the Catholicity of her political friendships can be judged from the fact that after a recent large reception to the Liberal League she stayed at the Duke of Devonshire's for the Derby races. Lord Rosebery has gained a powerful ally, whose leadership is more open than his own.
Sir Edward Colebrook seldom is seen in public and is generally known as a book worm.
