...whose Town House the reception was held. Last year the Hon. Lavinia won the Nottingham Junior Lawn Tennis Championship, next broke her collar bone riding in a point-to-point race. Last week her father, Lord Belper, delighted the happy pair with a wedding present of a fine brood mare, but knowing Viscount & Viscountess St. Davids bestowed the gift supreme: 24 volumes of the Blood Stock Breeders Review. In the friendly atmosphere of English tenantry toward their Duke no less than 94 ash trays and 61 lamps came in, along with the presents of Queen Mother Mary, King George & Queen...

Holden, are genuinely superb, will doubtless not suffice to interest 1936 in two young lovers who, with money to burn, can apparently find nothing better to do than brood about the life hereafter.
