LONDON PERSONALS

(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 9th January. Lord Bledisloe has not yet found a tenant for his beautiful Gloucestershire home, Lydney Park. He says it is very difficult to meet with anyone, even in these days of motor-cars, who wants to live more than a, hundred miles away from London. He is beginning to think that he will be glad to find someone who will take good earo of the lovely garden. Lord Bledisloe is finding much to settle before he leaves England, as he is connected with so many important organisations, each one of which is desirous of appointing a successor before Lord Bledisloe departs in February. Lord Jellicoe is out- again after his operation, but he is not yet looking quite his active and alert self. He was at Waterloo this morning to greet Mr. and Mra. T. M. Wilford. With tho former Governor of tho Dominion Mr, Wilford had two conversations, the second a comparatively lengthy one after most of tho people had dispersed. Lord Jellicoe is going away to the South of Franco to complete his convelescence, while, in the middle of January, Lady Jellicoe is going for a trip to Madeira. Captain Dudley B. N.
