The rumor of the purchase OF the
Quay home on K street by the Duchess
of Marlborough is a most interesting
one. but one which cannot yet be con-
firmed. The house is said to have been
sold to a Vanderbilt, but which particu-
lar Vanderbilt it is still difficult to say.
Should It be the duchess, whose domestic
affairs have been more or less freely
discussed all over the world, washington
society would indeed have charming
and interesting acquisition. She who
was Consuelo Vanderbilt. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs William K. Vanderbilt, has
her marriage and has never extended her
acquaintance to Washington, save among
the people whom she knew before they
came here. She and her children are 10
be the guests Of her mother, now Mrs.
o. H. P. Belmont, at Marble House IN
Newport this summer, and great prepa-
rations are now being made to entertain
them. In view of the recent affairs or
the duchess in connection with the coro-
nation festivities. it Is possible that she
may intend to take up her winter resi-
dence in the Capital Of her own country.
She would be the second British peeress
to choose Washington for consolation, as
