An unfounded rumour is thus contrad : eted 'by M.A.P. -Certain New York journals have been diligently circulating the rumour that King George is showing a disposition to ignore American peeresses and hostesses. His Majesty effectively disposed of this gossip by dining the other night with the Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh© at Chesterfield House. Before her marriage, the Duchess was 'Miss May Goelet, one of the most popular "dollarprincesses" in America. The mansion in which the Duke and Duohess entertained their Majesties is one of the most interesting in London. At the time of the last Coronation, the then owner, Lord Burton, lent it to King Edward for the accommodation of foreign Royalty, and for the first time in its long history a sentry was posted at its gate.'
