Recent events have also altered the Duke and Duchess's plans for their new country house, Barnwell Castle, Northamptonshire, They moved in for the arst time only a month ago!

The house was redecorated to the Duchess's tastes as was York House but a short while ago. Now, the old-world rooms in St. James's Palace are quiet and empty of people. The long, low dining-roof walls, are newly painted in pale green, each wall panel picked out by silver lines which match the antique crystal chandeliers.

The curtains at the windows, too, are new, made from the softest; flower-pink satin with a silvery tinge. When these are drawn they form a beautiful background for the flower decorations the Duchess loves.

On the narrow projecting ledge in

stand a silver bowl filled with roses, front of each window there used to
