LONDON, October 18. One by one tno greaF town houses of the nobility and the millionaires are being sold or demolished. Mayfair and the West End are rapidly being transformed into a district of hotels, flats, and clubs —a development which grieves an older generation as much as it pleases the new. One of the latest mansions to bo “acquired” is the home of the late Mr. Hugh Morrison, one-time Conservative M.P. for Salisbury, who left a fortune of £2,000,0tX), and of Lady Maty Moffison, his widow; who lived there until her degth in the spring of this year. The Victoria Club for Ladies, which is one of the pioneer women’s clubs in London, will make the house its future headquarters, and a very delightful headquarters, it will be. The building is one of the most gracious and beautiful of its Sixtd in the West End. Time was w(ien it saw many brilliant social gatherings, such as are few and far between in these unpretentimia days of hotel ahd restaurant entertainments.
