THE HOUSE AT BOGNOR
A description is given in the '' Tatler'' of tho house at Bognor where His Majosty King George is making recovory from his serious illness. The writer says: "I cannot imagine a more ideal spot for the King to be moved to than
Craigweil House. In fact, when it was first suggested that he should go to tho South Coast, Sir Arthur dv Cros's suupalace occurred at once, to those who knew it, as tho most suitable place possible, for it gets all the gun there is, outside and in. It is practically on the sea, with a tamarisk-hedged garden facing a bit of sandy beach that is quite deserted, since private roads and properties keep the public away. And thore are extensive sheltered grounds such as one rarely finds near the sea." Tho writer adds that Sir Arthur, although he spent one fortune in buying it and another in making it as perfect aa possible, never lives in it. He has a much more humble little dwelling close by for his own use. Goodwood is only about nino miles away, and it is possible to bathe, play tennis on the fine hard courts, and attend races into the bargain.
