Lord Reading's ceparture from India at the close of his term of office in March, 1926, was marked by spon. taneous demonstrations of good will from British and Indians alike. Four days after his arrival in England the announcement was made of his elevation to a Marquessate.
Early in 1930, his wife, who was Miss Alice Edith Cohen, and whom he had married soon after his call to the bar died; and in August 1931, he married Miss Stella Charnaud, who had been a member of his Viceregal staff in India.
We have also to record the sad desmise of Seth Jamuna Lal Sah which occured on the 25th December, at the age of about 70 years. He was a highly redspecte member of Digamber Jain Community in Jaipur.
