BERKELEY SQUARE AND BRUTON STREET TODAY
NO. 17 BRUTON STREET. ROYAL BIRTHPLACE.
This stately mansion was the home of H. R. H. tho Duchess of York, “ England’s smiling Princess,” prior to her marriage, and so came Into special prominence. The Interest of tho British publio reached Its zenith, however, when tho Duchess’ first child, tho popular Prlnooss Elizabeth, whose golden-haired beauty and charming ways have endeared her to England’s heart, was born at No. 17 Bruton Street, four years ago. Next door but one Is "Midlothian House,” Immortalised In the works of Sir Walter Scott, while many other Interesting characters havo loft their mark on this section of fashionable Mayfair, the very hub of London’s fashionable West End, through three centuries. The advent of the Canadian Paclfic’3 new palatial hotel will be well In keeping with the best traditions of the historic site and will furnish London with an Important contribution to Its facilities for entertaining the travelling publio.
