HOUSE HUNTING
|. FAD OF DUCHESS
Lily of Marlborough Has the
Reputation of Being an
Expert on Matters of Rent
SHREWD IN BARGAINS
She Knows Her Subject So
Thoroughly That No Land

SHREWD IN BARGAINS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, June 1S.-That Dorchester
House has been put in such excellent
condition for the occupancy of the new
American ambassador. Whftelaw Reid.
is due largely to the interest which Lily,
Duchess of Marlborough, has taken in the
work. House hunting, which most folk
regard as an unmitigated nuisance. the
American Dowager Duchess really en-
joys. AS 1t Is a fad. which Of necessity
she must find comparatively few oppor-
tunities to indulge in on her own account,
her services are always at the disposal
of her friends, particularly those from
the other side of the Atlantic. Her Sc
lections are always well made She
knows Mayfair and Belgravia as few
women know these fashionableN quarters,
and not the most willy of house agents
or landlords can impose upon her. When
she appears on the scene 1T is no use
holding out for fancy prices.
Her knowledge of what constitutes
desirable residence is not confined to mere
externals. In the important matter of
plumbing and ventilation she is some
thing of an expert. Among the less
scrupulous class of agents and landlords
who have found that her knowledge of
sanitation exceeds their powers of de-
ception the sobriquet of the Sanitary In
spector" has been bestowed on her. She
has all the London County Councils by
laws and regulations with respect to con-
struction and drainage at her finger ends.
and where she discovers that they have
been disregarded insists that they shall
be conformed with under penalty of
lodging information against the delin-
quent.
Some house agents who do not like her
critical methods say that she charges
commission for making Investigations.
but this is not true. She spends both
time and money freely on her fad That
she is possessed Of exquisite taste In the
matter of furniture and house decorations
is shown by her own residence, Deepdene,
near Dorking, which she has transformed
into one of the most beautiful homes in
the country.
Though thrice married and thrice wild
owed she is still only in riddle life and
looks younger than she really Is. From
her first husband, an American, she
gained riches; from her second. rank. and
from her third, Lord William Beresford,
very complete but brief domestic hap
piness- 1t was by this third marriage
she had her only child, boy, and now
the idol of her life.
