Already the nur- sery and the top floor are ready for occupation, while the drawing- room, which promises to be a mag- nificent and regal apartment, wil soon be completed. It уда popularly supposed that the bou- doir of the Duchess would be blue, her favourite colour. Actually 145, Piccadilly, is notable by the com parative absence of this colour, which is only seen blended, with a number of other soft paste, shades on the walls of a number of rooms. The Duchess has framed a back- ground which will contract rather than tone with her favourite toilet- tes, and her boudoir is done in greens and greys.
