New Coronation Hostesses.

When Lord Maidstone married Miss
Drexel 1T was supposed that her income
would be very large indeed, but as mat
ter of fact it is not much over 5000 a
year. However, the young couple have a
sumptuous suite entirely to themselves.
and are, TO all appearances perfectly con-
tent to remain under the parental roof.
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Drexel jr., will
also be guests for the greater part Of the
season.
Nothing is definitely known as yet in
regard to the expected visit of Mr.. and
Mrs Roosevelt and their daughter. but
1t Is believed they will be in London for
at least three weeks or a month.
Among the new hostessss of the corona
ton period will be Signora Frederic
Mariana, who Is daughter of Eugene
Muller of Long Island, and whose hus-
band is known in Italy as very dis
tinguished explorer. and Mrs. Gilbert
Elliott Of New York. who has not done
much entertaining thus far. but who will
come out later on in Portman Square
with some brilliant parties In honor of
her sister. Countess de Pourtales, who is
bringing her pretty daughter on a long
stay.

Lady Decies a Favorite.

Unlike many American heiresses, Miss
Gould did not come to London in pur-
suit of a nobleman, and therefore she Is
unknown to English society and some
thing Of curiosity Also there is a story
ahoat that Lady Decies Is not an imi-
tator of the English. as our other trans
Atlantic peeresses. and this independence
Is always admired.
zette this week that Baron Kilmaine had
been chosen by his fellow-Irish peers to
fill the vacancy in the house of lords
caused by the death of Viscount Bangor
calls attention to the small chance Lord
Decies has of realizing his reported pc.
litfcal ambition. Decies was quoted be-
fore his wedding as saying that II there
was any house Of lords In London on his
return he was going to enter it.
AS a matter Of fact there are ninety-One
Irish peers like Lord Decies. who have no
lords. The only chance Lord Decies has
will come through the death or resigna-
ton of some member now sitting, who,
like Kilmaine, has been elected for life.
but as the Irish representative peers
never resign and seldom die. Lord DecieS
will have to wait his turn for long
time. Many older and more popular men
have prior claims.
the town house occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Anthony DreXel in Grosvenor Square
Is fortunately very large. and could hold
several families very comfortably. but its
accommodations will be severely taxed
| this season viscount and viscountess
Maidstone are staying there indefinitely,
for the simple reason that they cannot
afford to take large house OF their
own.
