AN IDEAL HOSTESS
The Duchess of Devonshire is an ideal political hostess. Her home at 2, Carlton Gardens, of which the duchess is exceedingly fond, can be adapted for every type of entertainment. For receptions she has the use of a fine staircase, often decorated with her favourite pink roses and white hydrangeas. It leads straight from the hall to the lone ballroom of gold and white, ablaze with chandeliers. For dances there is a delightful terrace overlooking the Mall, where supper is often served. Few Englishwomen possess such magnificent jewels as the duchess. She has no fewer than five rows of pearls and an allround crown of diamonds, which was specially made after the late duke's marriage with Louise Duchess of Manchester. And as she is the least vain of women they, do not often see the light.
