National Affairs: Aristocratic

No longer will Britishers say polite nothings when the U. S. Embassy residence in London is mentioned. Alanson B. Houghton, U. S. Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James’s will now reside at Nos. 13 and 14 Prince’s Gate, S. W., a gift of the late J. Pierpont Morgan to the Government. Some $450,000 has been spent upon the aristocratic gold and scarlet interior decorations which were completed last week.
