AS THEY DO IN GREECE
When the Duchess of Kent ha 3 "settled down" in London a little more, she is going to invito her women friends to afternoon parties like those that are such a feature of social life in Athens. Instead of tea, delicious fruit syrups and mint drinks are served in tall glasses, accompanied by trays of Greek sweetmeats such as rose-petal rings and sugared plums, and tiny cakes of spiced almond paste. These novel gatherings will take place in the Duchess' beautiful drawing room—it was originally the ballroom, but the Duchess entertains there, as her other sitting room is rather small. It is decorated in cream with touches of gold, and has curtains of creamy ripple satin at the long windows. There are deep brocade-covered couches and great golden glass bowls to hold the flowers, and amber smoking accessories set out on the low occasional tables.
