THE DUCHESS AND THE ABBEY

The young Duchess of Westminster, ■who recently lent her beautiful house in Upper Grosvenor Street.for the annual exhibition and sale of the Eoyal Irish Industries Association, is one of the most popular hostesses of her day. Her home is a veritable art repository, and tho pictures in Grosvenor House are worth a visit alone, including, as they do, Gainsborough's famous "Blue Boy," which was lent to' the recent art exhibition at the Franco-British Exhibition (says a writer in "M.A.P.").

The Duchess delights in telling an excellent story about the Shah of Persia who was very fond of paying compliments to English ladies.

When the Duchess of Westminster was presented ho greeted her heartily. "I nave heard so much about you," he said "Tour worthy .name is well known even in my country." The Duchess was surprised at first, then a light dawned upon her. "Gracious me I do believo he mistakes mo for ■Westminster Abbey," she said, and, what was more, she was right.
