LAND AND WATER 
September 25, 19 15 
The Ouccn, accompanied by Princess Mary and Prince 
licnry, visited the Star and Garter Hotel, Riclunond, 
which has been presented to lier Majesty by the Auc- 
tioneers and Estate Agents' Institute, and handed 
over by the Queen to the I-5ritish Red Cross Society 
to be a permanent Home for totally disabled and 
paralysed Sailors and Soldiers. A more fitting site for 
this pathetic purpose could not have been chosen. It 
vill be one of the great memorials of the war. 
The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are now in Scotland with 
tlieir children. The Duke is making an excellent re- 
covery after his recent very severe operation. 
Lord Derby has been down with influenza. Since his previous 
illness a few months ago he has had to be careful of 
himself, or rather he ought to have been careful of 
himself, for as a matter of fact he has worked as hard 
as ever. He is not only Colonel of five battalions, but 
also a Commodore in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 
and has won the reputation of being the finest recruiting 
sergeant in the British Army. He enjoys unbounded 
popularity in Lancashire. A firm believer in National 
Service he has set his face steadily against all agitation 
and been content to wait for superior orders. 
Lord and Lady Duncannon's second son was christened at 
St. James's, Piccadilly, last week, and was called Desmond 
Neuflize. It was in June, 1912, that Lord Duncannon 
married the only daughter of Baron de Neuflize of 
Paris. Anglo-French unions have not been common 
in the British peerage, but in the future they will probably 
occur more frequently. Lord and Lady Duncannon 
have now two sons, the elder was two last March. 
The Anglo-French union which is most commonly referred 
to was the marriage of the fourth Marquess of Lansdowne 
with the eldest of the five daughters of Comte de Flahault- 
de-la-Billardrie ; their eldest son is the present Lord 
Lansdowne. But the Comte de Flahault had hmiself 
married a Scottish lady who on the death of a cousin 
became Baroness Nairne in her own right, previously 
succeeding her father as Baroness Keith, so there was 
a dual connection between the two countries. 
Mr. Wilham Harris, of Ritz-Carlton fame, has returned from 
New York where he went on business some weeks ago. 
His friends are delighted to see him looking stronger and 
better than he has done for many months past. 
To Bath many well-known people still wend their way. 
Recent arrivals at the Empire, hotel include Hersey 
Lady Linlithgow and Lord Charles Hope and Lady 
Clementine Waring. Harrogate is also doing well ; Lord 
Kintore has been there and Mrs. Lionel Guest. 
M. Pierre Cartier, who has been on the staff of an Admiral 
of France since the war began, was in London last week. 
He is on sick leave, having been temporarily invalided 
after a severe attack of diphtheria and is on his way to 
New York, for the doctors have ordered him a sea 
voyage. M. Pierre laughed at the idea of Cartier following 
Worth's example and closing their London house, 
especially to-day when France and Britain stand closer
