Changes at Marlborough House. Details are now forthcoming about the changes which have been made at Marlborough House, where the Prince of Wales is shortly to take up his residence (states a London writer). A good deal of his furniture has already been sent over from York House, but it is unlikely that he will move to his new home before the New Year. The Prince's simple tastes are reflected in the furnishings of the six rooms which are all that he will occupy in the great London house which Sir Christopher Wren designed for the first Duke of Marlborough. Some parts of the house had been Victorianised —with rather saddening results, but alterations have been made during the last few months. A nineteenth century conservatory, for instance, has been taken down, and now one can see and properly appreciate the steps and garden fronts which Wren designed, while various heavy Victorian mantelpieces have been removed and original Georgian ones put up in their place. The Prince's bed and dressing rooms are cheery and light, for the woodwork is painted white and the walls are covered with a silver and white striped paper. The windows of his suite are made from a new glass which admits ultra violet rays—these are said to be excluded by ordinary glass. The Prince's study is a very workmanlike room, panelled in dark walnut, and fitted with doep bookcases, and the correspondence system which the Prince has established at York House will be carried on in his new home. Tho secretaries work on the same floor as that occupied by the Prince, and no letter addressed to him is ever received without an official reply being sent to it. By the Prince's orders, ono part of Marlborough House is left quite untouched. This is tho little graveyard hidden behind the shrubbery, where nine of Queen Alexandra's pet dogs are buried. Among them is Caesar, tho favourite of King Edward, who walked in his Eoyal master's funeral procession.

Empire League of Housewives. Sir Granville Ryrie and Lady William Cecil were among the speakers at tho "at home" which Lady Bearsted gave in November to discuss the new League of Empire Housewives. It is hoped that 10,000,000 women will join this league, which has adopted as its slogan, "Every Kitchen an Empire Kitchen" (says a London correspondent). Every member is asked to wear the badge of the league when she goes shopping, and must pledge herself to buy Empire foodstuffs whenever possible. The King has agreed to accept from the Empire Day movement a Christmas pudding made entirely from Empire ingredients. The recipe for the pudding was supplied by the King's own chef, Monsieur Cedard, and lias been presented to the Empire Marketing Board, which, in its. turn, is handing on tho recipe to tho public, asking all to follow the King's example and have an Empire Christmas pudding on their table. The sultanas and currants for the pudding, are supplied by Ausj tralia, and tho beef suet by Now Zealand.
