for such purposes. That however. is
what has happened to the Duke of
BuccIeuchs palatial London residence,
STontagu House, whitehall. as an en-
tension of the ministry of munitions,
says the New York Herald
A few weeks ago the family received
notice that this might be likely to
happen, and now the duke has received
formal notice to quit. No portion of
the house is to be reserved for the
dukes personal use. and the treasures
of this great historic mansion are in
process of removal to one of the ducaI
country seats.
No other private residence in London
occupies more interesting site. AS
early as I246 Hubert de Burgh built a
large dwelling there. which subse-
quently became the property of the
Black Friars, of the Archbishop of
York and finally of Henry VIII. after
which it remained the chief royal pal
ace in London till it was destroyed by
the great fire. The present house was
begun by the n1tn duke In lS5S, ana
the, cost of the building amounted to
$500, 600.
Montagu House is noted for it's great
rooms, splendid furniture exquisite
porcelain, it's Vandykes and it's incem-
para BILE miniatures. Pictures by Ru-
bcns, Rembrandt, Raphael and other
great masters adorn the walls, but
the collection of miniatures is unique

on that entertainment, for most of the
sugar brought by guests was left in her
keeping, so that possibly her own table
was plentifuily supplied the next few
days with what is rapidly becoming in
London a wartime luxury. 1 don't

course, to take a half pound of sugar
to sweeten your tea is an absurd over
estimate, but then to arrive with four

simonious, and the extravagance habit
dies hard even in these sugar-scarce
times.
The scarcity of sugar is one of the
domestic problems of the hour and /
have heard of families who have been
