Mrs. I, z. Letter, since her loi,s period /
Of mourning which has been observed in /
the strictest manner, is planning to mark /
her return to the social world with
series Of brilliant entertainments, to be /
given at her English home, Tulloch Cas- !
tie. Mrs. Letter has been visiting her
son-in-law at his estate in Hamp- /
shire. near Basingstoke, but is now estab- I
lished at TuIloch Castle, the fine resi- /
dence IN the north OF England of which I
she came into possession two years ago.
IL was Mrs. Letters original plan 10 en- /

estate, and society looked forward with
pleasure to the promised events. But it

Lady Curzon. developed a serious illness.
and the devoted mother spent all the time
she could at her daughters side Then
came the sad blow of Lady Curzon's
death. Mrs. Letter at once went into
retirement She has since occasionally
been seen in the society Of her grand
children at either Lord Curzon's or LADY
Sufok's.
When It became known a few months
ago that Daisy Letter, now Countess Of
Suffolk, had been attending a few social
events, including race meeting in the
country, it was generally thought that
Mrs Letter would also emerge from her
mourning. Yet it has not been until
this week that she has done so.
A succession Of large house parties have
been invited TO Tulloch Castle, and great
doings have been planned. Mrs. Letter
has many original ideas regarding the
proper entertainment Of her guests, and
she will vie with Mrs. Potter Palmer In
upholdlng the social reputation Of Chi
caEo.
Mrs. Letter had intended entirely closing
Iulloch Castle a year ago and returning
permanently TO the United States. bus
