From the New York Times.
A picture of a beautiful woman in even
ing dress, with an Enthusiastically aristo-
cratic air, appears in one of the current
English periodicals. A casual reader, Won
dering for what reason this especial Lady
Clara We're de We're was thus presented,
turned the pages to find that she was "a
gentleN oman hotelkeeper." 1t turns out
that the hotel is an ancestral castle in one
of the loveliest corners Of England, which
its owners, unable to keep up, or to let,
or to sell for its value, determined to util-
lie in this way. The wife overlooks the
castle interior, the husband superintends
the outside attractions of hunting, fishing
and driving, the fortunate guests enjoying
an Independent stay at an aristocratic,
welI-appointed establishment. The point
emphasized Is that woman who knows
how to conduct an elegant home is the one
to be at the head Of high-class hotel or
boarding house.
