EVERYONE who knew her must have heard with deep regret

of the death of Lady Wrench. the wife of Sir Evelyn Wrench, Chairman of the Spectator. She had wide and varied interests, and was herself for many years a director of the Spectator. She Played a great part in the work of the Over-Seas League, which her husband founded. An accomplished public speaker—she never used a note—she would hold American audiences en- thralled when on lecture tours with Sir Evelyn. She had a genius for friendship and gave it freely to those who came to her for help or advice : during the long period of her ill-health she had been greatly missed by her many friends.
