NEW DUCHESS OF WESTMINSTER
Among the younger generation the Duchess of Westminster is perhaps one of the most industrious and ambitious of embroiderers. In her mother’s room at Sir Frederick Ponsonby’s official residence at Marlborough Gate, there are lovely embroideries which are the work of her hands. But it is at the family’s country home in Surrey, Great Tangley Manor, that the Duchess’s affection for her needle is best illustrated. There hang several beautiful pieces of tapestry_ which she has copied from famous designs, and in nearly all the rooms either curtains or hangings have been embellished by her in some artistic way.
