ABOUT MRS. sEIGEL.
Mrs. Henry seigers recent action in
taking house in GrosVenor square Is
due, ! am told, to the fact that without
such a residence she could not hope TO
compete with the other rich American
women who are entertaining largely In
London this season. At first she would
not be troubled with house and its
servants, so she proposed to put up at
one OF the west end hotels, and do her
entertaining there; but fashion soon
proved too much for her. The GrOsVe-
nor square house--No 5l-which she
has taken belongs 20 Capt. Spicer, and
IL Is understood that Mrs Seigel has
succeeded In getting It at a much low

negotiations month or so ago, when
members Of the American world Of
fashion were outbidding each other for
town houses for the season She has
also taken house at Maidenhead on
the upper reaches Of the river Thames,
where she has installed her two daugh-
ters. In this way Mrs, Seige has gone

Mrs. Arthur Paget, working in con-
junction with the Duchess Of Marl-
borough. has for number of years
made children's hospitals In London the
special object of her charity. Like the
duches she does not dispense charity
Unfortunately hut seeks to bestow
her patronage on the most worthy and
necessitous institutions In this drec-
ton she was always guided by the adj

organized by her she gives out Of her
own private purse no less than $4,000
to $4,000 yearly to charities of this
kind. She Is described by charitably
disposed persons as one OF the most ac-
Complished and persistent beggars
among society women, who devote their
lives to the relief OF distress. Hospital
officials declare that she has never been
known to fail in extracting a handsome
donation from friend for any Of her
pet schemes. Mrs Pagets daughter is
no less enthusiastic in supporting her
