is not the same necessity for them to
stint themselves in the matter of serv-
ants. One at least is stumbled into
at every turning. On Sunday after
Moons, for instance, when one drives
up to the Stanleys house in Richmond
Terrace and here be it understood that
it is not in any way q pretentious
mansion, there is standing outside
man servant to help one out of the
carriage or hackney and to pull the
bell. The door is then opened by an
other, who passes the cards on to
third man, who proceeds one up the
stairs and indicates the location Of
the drawing room. Here another comes
forward. takes the card and announces
TO Lady Stanley the name of the visit
or. Should this individual be a strang-
or with a letter of introduction. he
would be shown in the small reception
room while the letter is being read.
Lady Stanley would then either go
herself, If disengaged from other
guests, and fetch him into the drawing
room or else she would signify to the
man servant on the spot that the Wis
itor was to be shown into her pres
ence. Such a retinue of men servants
as this would naturally mean ruination
to any in America but the most
wealthy, while in England it is but the
customary requirement for a simple
day at home lasting through the whole
season.
Once reached, for it is up a long
flight of stairs, the drawing room at
Lady Stanley's is such spot as where
one likes to linger. 1t is of good pro-
portions and we'll filed, but not over
crowded with artistic bits of furniture
and bric-abrac collected from various
places Everything is more or less. OF
rarity. Furniture is not here just
because II is furniture. OF old enar1-
els and miniatures there Is in one cor
ner collection, while in another are
many choice bits of old porceialns.
On Sundays there stands always III
front of the mantle shelf a large square
table. Here usually some friend OF
Lady Stanley or her sister makes tea
and attends to 1t that all who drop IN
have helping Of spread bread, as the
thin buttered slices are called. COLO
tea is never offered, as on the table IS
a capital Russian arrangement TOT
keeping water at the boiling point. Inc
lady that sits at this table and serves
has usually on a hat. Lady STANLEY
herself most often wears white or
grey. or soft and clinging material.
