ENGLISH GARDEN

PRINCESS'S NEW HOME

We are always interested in Princess Ingrid, as her English friends are still, inclined to call the popular young granddaughter of the Duke of .Connaught, who became the Crown Princess of' Denmark, writes "Marianne Mayfayre" in the London "Daily Telegraph." ,-: ..; ', ' ■ ~ I hear that she is now comfortably settled in her hew home. Although she had become very attached to her "town flat," a wing of the Orianienberg Palace in Copenhagen, Princess Ingrid has been longing for a house of her very own, where she could give her ideas in furnishing and decoration full play. The new home will give her ample room to accommodate under her own roof the many friends who would like to visit her. The first guest arrangements were made for her mother-in-law, "the Queen of Denmark, between whom and Princess Ingrid a most charming friendship exists. A suite of rooms overlooking the I gardens will be permanently kept in readiness for Queen Alexandrine, so that she may come for a-few days' stay whenever she feels inclined. I Princess Ingrid is also hoping that the health of her "grandfather, the Duke of Connaught, will permit him to visit her in her new home. He will be specially interested in the grounds, which he has actually helped to plan —for she has devoted a whole year to the making of her "English garden" and maintained a constant correspondence with her grandfather concerning it. Queen Mary ftas sent her some antiques, and Queen Alexandrine's contribution consisted of some of her own very beautiful petit point needlework.
