THE BARONESS BURDETT-COUTTA IN After an interval of overal years the Baroness Burdet-Coutts has returned to the historio dwelling in which she was born, The great house at the corner of Stratton atrost is now in the hands of architects and renovators, and the benevolent daughter of Sir Francis Burdett receives her guests in the drawing-room whence her father was taken to the Tower.
