The Old Bell Tavern, standing at
the corner of what used to be John

included in st. James square adioin-

another building which, while it sur

to be removed and in its place in due

Among all the notables who.
made Pail Mall their home, Nell

place in the imagination of the ro
mantle. Tradition has not always
spoken accurately as to the precise
locality of the mansion which the
royal favoritc inhabited. but it is
now pretty well accepted that the
house occupied the site on which now
stands part of the Army and Navy
club. The residence sometimes err
roneously attributed to her was ac-
tually inhabited by another notable
person, Moll Davis, a young actress
whose professional career as we are
told, presented certain features sim
