Yankee Title

Readers of the Court Circular of the London Times last week learned that another U. S. heiress had become a British peeress. Mrs. Cara Leland Broughton was the elevated lady. Sister of Col. Henry Huddleston Rogers, Manhattan oil tycoon, and aunt of much-married Millicent Rogers Salm Ramos, she is a recent widow of Urban Hanlon Broughton, a British engineering tycoon, to whom a title had long been promised. Britons found more interest in the new title than in the new peeress who bore it. By Royal decree, Mrs. Broughton became Cara, Baroness Fairhaven, in honor of the fishing village on Buzzard's Bay, Mass., where her father was born. British heraldic experts said that, though many a British peer has chosen for his title the name of a foreign place--viz., Kitchener of Khartoum (Egypt), Byng of Vimy (France), Napier of Magdala (Abyssinia)--Lady Fairhaven is the first to have a title of U. S. extraction.
