Mr.. Duke and Mrs Inman that they will
inaugurate social campaign on their re-
turn to New York from the honeymoon
tour. Color is given to this by the fact
that Mr.. Duke has been looking over sew
eral famous Fifth avenue residences and
will probably buy one OF them for his
bride
One of these Is the Whitney residence,
now known as the James Henry Smith
house. as II was purchased by the late
multi millionaire for his bride for the dig
tnct purpose. IL was said, of entertaining
on large scale. Since Mrs. Smiths
death the house has been for sale, and
the two most probable buyers have been
said to be James Il. Duke and r. III. Har-
riman. Mr.. Duke is said to be especially
partial TO the Smith house. because he Is
familiar with IL. having been a frequent
guest of the late w. c. Whitney.
