FAMOUS MANSION TO LET
MR. ASQUITH'S OLD HOME " To lot, furnished, at £5 5s a -week, a Prinio Minister's superb country mansion." So might an advertisement run, says a correspondent, for The Wharf, Sutton Courtney, for 20 years the residence of the late Earl of Oxford and Asquilh. The famous statesman now lies buried in the old villngo churchyard a few miles away from the house, and his widow, the Countess of Oxford, has decided to let it for any period from a few weeks to a year. In the spacious living rooms both during and after the war many a political storm has been thought over and rosolved; the walls of the old houso have looked down upon nearly all the famous men who have crossed Europe's political stage and visited the King's former Prime Minister.
