Mrs. Maurice Brett and daughter-in-law of Lord E3h-er. E3h-er. was tho only titled favorite of tho past who put In an appearance, und she cannot well disconnect hersolf from tho stago because her sister, Phyllis, Is still so much to the fore upon It. Lady Victor Vic-tor Paget (Miss Olive May, neo Meat-yard), Meat-yard), the Marchioness of Headford (Miss Roslo Boote) and Countess Poulett (Sylvia (Syl-via Storey) had the good sense to decline de-cline the Invitation In tho first Instance Instead of accoptlng and then excusing themselves at the last moment. Lady Churston (Denlne Ormo) Is understood under-stood to have altered her decision at tho last moment, as 6ho affects great propriety pro-priety and declined to meet Miss Gertlo Millar, and a a matter of fact, neither she nor the Countess of Orkney (Connie Gllehrlst) are at nil anxious to bo reminded re-minded of tho former days. All the absentees sent letters or tolo-grams tolo-grams to be rend at tho dinner, but, needless need-less to say, theso were taken with rnthor more than a grain of salt. Lord Goonre Cholmondeley refused to allow his wlfo to attend. Lady George Is an, American. Sho married Captain Sterling, who divorced di-vorced hor, the co-respondent being Lord N'orthlnnd.
