Massachusetts avenue-and entertain
ed and were entertained pretty eN-
tensively. But IL seemed TO be cur
iously unofficial entertaining. Though
Lord Reading headed a financial mis-
sion, don't recall that the McAdoos
entertained for them. The Lansings
gave a dinner, ! believe, but not n
very big one. and one that didn't reek
at all OF officialdom, and likewise the
Solicitor General and Mrs. John w.
Davis. In fac all their parties, both
those that were given for them and
those which they gave seemed to be
rather personal.
Then they went Off holding on to
their lease on Mrs. Moran's house.
which runs until next October. NowG
looks as though they would not need
IL when they return, for presumably
they will establish themselves at the
embassy--was there ever any place
30 typically British? It simply couldn't
be anything but the British embassy.
However, there's apparently no dan
ger OF the Moran house being in the
market, as Sir Richard and Lady
Crawford are comfortably established
there now.
Before 1t became known that Lord
Reading was to be British ambassa-
dor and British high commissioner in
this country. with perhaps few other
jobs thrown in to make il harder. a
well-known American journalist resi-
dent in England wrote, naming Lord
Reading among the men in British
public life who were assured OF a
place in history, "the LUd Chief Jus
tice has made II possible for Anglo
American relations to be knitted 80
closely that il will take earthquakes
to dissolve them. What Lord Reading
has accomplished out OF the range of
the limelight will, perhaps. only b"
known long after the war is over.

in an informal and purely unofficial
way.
The Duke and Duchess OF Devon
shire are high in royal favor. 1t seems
they were the first couple invited to
stay with the King and Queen after
the death of Edward VII and before
then and since they have been most
regularly host and hostess to their
maiesties. The duchess, indeed, is
said to be Queen Mary's most intimate
friend. She was Lady Evelyn Fitz-
maurice, daughter OF the fifth Mar
quise OF Lansdowne. The garden OF
Devonshire House backs directly on
the garden OF Lansdowne House, but
these were not the gardens OF their
romance. "Seventy-eight P!cC-~iilly."
as the duke prefers to call it. was not
his when he courted' Lady Evelyn. In
any case. no party wall stands be-
tween the houses and the alliance has
proved a particularly happy one.
Chatsworth is the principal home
OF the Devonshires and their estates
cover many broad acres, but the enor-
nous death duties 'eSacted by the
government as the price of large in
heritanees and the ever-increasing
war taxes have caused them a certain
amount OF financial embarrassment.
At least, IL was said to be for pur-
poses OF retrenchment that the duke
sold the famous Devonshire library,
one of the greatest private collections
in the world. to Henry F. Hunting
ton, the California millionaire. for
81 ZOO, 900. The library is now in
stalled in Mr.. Hunington's New York
home. The Duke OF Devonshire also
sold a famous herd of thoroughbred
sheep, bred by his uncle,
the previous duke, retired the Devon
shire colors from the turf and sold
the racing stable maintained by his
uncle, which was one OF the most IA
nous in England.
