HOME NOTES.

Now Recovered. Princess Marie Louise has recovered from the rather unpleasant motor accident she was in recently while staying in the country with friends. At the time of the accident the Princess

,\lam told, was the coolest and calmest , of the party, although her face was , cut with the broken glass. Princess Marie Louise is a very charming woman, widely read and widely travelled, and she talks well and is extremely witty; she has a broad, generous view of life, and is sufliciently unconventional to take a keen interest in things and people .in many various fields. She has a decided talent for painting and is clever at enamel work. Long Ear-rings. Ear-rings, which had such a vogue some years ago, have never really come into their own again, though many well-known women wear them, and look most attractive in them. Lady Londonderry occasionally wears beautiful long diamond car-rings at night. Princess Arthur of Counaught, too, has a charming pair of long, pointed earrings, and Miss Gladys Cooper's (that she has been wearing in her new play, "Excelsior," at the Playhouse) have conic in for a good deal of admiration. She also wears large, single pearl ones in one of the acts, and 1 could not make up my mind which 1 preferred, fur they arc both becoming to Miss Cooper. Back to Malta! Lady Louis Mountbatten is shortly going back again to Malta to join her sailor-husband, who is stationed there. She is a great acquisition in any place, for she is bright, clever, and extremely witty, as well as being one of the bestdressed women in society, and society is at its gayest when she is there. Lady Louis invariably wears the styles I that suit her, and is not persuaded to J favour certain fashions just because , they are the fashion. In London, like j so many well-dressed women, she | nearly always wears black in the daytime and keeps the vivid colours for evening wear. She went to the States recently on a visit to her friend Miss Vaanderbiit. The Parted Twins. Those inseparable twins, the Dolly Sisters, are not often together now since the marriage of the younger one, Miss Rosie Dolly, last year. The Dollys are twins; Miss Jenny is the elder by one hour. 1 saw her at the first night at the Lyric not long ago, j looking as weirdly chic as ever and j wearing wonderful pearls. She is witty I and amusing to talk to, and speako English with a strong American accent, which she and her sister acquired when they left their native land, Bohemia, for the, States, where they lived for some years before settling j in Paris. ] i
