Woolworlh Heiress
NEW LONDON HOME Countess Haugwitz Eevcntlow, Woolworth millionairess, is to build a £IOO,OOO dream home in the heart of London. The Count and Countess, formerly Miss Barbara Hutton, have bought St. Dustan’s, P.egent Park —for many years the home and training centre for men blinded in the war, and the largest private house in London apart from Buckingham Palace. They have paid more than £IOO,OOO for this, the most valuable private site in Britain, and will demolish the famous old mansion to build a new house where they will find the peace and security for themselves and their child that kidnapper-ridden America could never offer.
The new house will be air-conditioned and its interior decorations will be those of a country mansion. There will bo a specially large indoor nursery for the child and an outdoor nursery in the grounds, far from the noise and fumes of London's traffic.
