Astor was to buy Cliveden that cost as

1t will be an awful pity to let such q
chance slip by you, Georgia Go in and
buy Devonshire House and one of the
nobs. But this death rates business in
England is playing the deuce with rich
mems property, and the Duke of Devon
shire shows more consideration for his
successor than the former duke showed
for him in consenting to part with sGch
a big portion of his estate. Had not the
present duke married the Duchess Of
Manchester his patrimony would not
have suffered, and renowned Devonsllire
House would still continue to be the
center Of attraction for the political lar-
