Beatrix Miller RIIP: Queen of Vogue, Heart and Mayson

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under February 21st :
Beatrix Miller, 89, British magazine editor (Vogue)
What stands out is her surname, an addition to the "Mill" patter-cluster found in many of my recent posts. Note this excerpt from her wiki page:
  Beatrix Miller (29 June 1924 – 21 February 2014) was a British fashion and cultural magazine editor for Queen and Vogue 
As you can see, they had left out "Queen" magazine, which is even more meaningful-- an addition to the "Royalty/King/Queen/Prince(ess)/Knight..." pattern-cluster.
Queen (originally The Queen) magazine was a British society publication established by Samuel Beeton in 1861. In 1958, the magazine was sold to Jocelyn Stevens, who dropped the prefix "The" and used it as his vehicle to represent the younger side of the British Establishment, sometimes referred to as the "Chelsea Set" under the editorial direction of Beatrix Miller.
Note the following from Jocelyn Stevens wiki page:
Sir Jocelyn Edward Greville StevensCVO (born 14 February 1932) 
 And I thought it was going to be a woman!!  Note his birthday... another addition to the "Valentines Day/February 14" pattern-cluster.

When checking out Samuel Beeton's wiki page, the following stood out:
Samuel Orchart Beeton (2 March 1830–6 June 1877)[1] was an English publisher, best known as the husband of Mrs Beeton (Isabella Mary Mayson) and publisher of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management.[1]
Okay, so note the surname "Mayson"... did I not tell you, my name is "May", and yes even though I do have a son and a grandson now (as of two days ago-- 22/2), I think that the reference is to the Mason's and hence an addition to the "Free Masons/333..." pattern-cluster
