The Duchess of Kent is setting a new fashion in entertaining, for instead of cocktails she prefers the Continental habit of offering wine and biscuits to her guests. Crystallised fruits are also handed round to visitors at No. 3 Belgrave Square, and so many people are following her example that a whole new industry is springing up i- Kent, where the Duke of Kent is especially interested in the work being done by the fruit-farmers of his own name country. Seven hundred acres are already planted with cherry trees alone, which are to be crystallised as well as bottled. Morning coffee parties are also becoming popular, as a change from the more usual sherry, before luncheon engagements.
