When this office was finished, he enter tained in it the duchess of Cleveland, the duchess of Buckingham, the duch ss of St. Albans, Lord Iveagh and he Dradley-Martlns. "After tea Mr. Astor showed the duchess of Cleveland the new build ing's more magnificent and costly feat ures, pointing out with special pride the marble and malachite staircase. " 'Ah, yes, it's a very fine stair said the duchess of Cleveland 'It's very fine, indeed. Far finer than mine at Dattle Abbey. There, you know, the steps have been so dreadfully scarred by the spurs of the old knights.' " Failed to Connect. "No, me good woman. I didn't come fur nufn ter eat; I knowed me Job better'n dat."
