Are There Greeks in areecep

Consuelo Still in America

AS rebuke to those people who
started the story that Consueio, duchess
of Marlborough, had taken the pains to
say that she was no longer an American,
and to urge that as an excuse for not
contributing to some London charity
with the word American" attached to
it, am pleased to write here that her
grace of Marlborough has elected to ap-
pear as Columbia at the fancy dress
function which the duchess of Devon
shire is to give on July I'd, and which is
to outshine Mrs. Bradley Martins IA
