The affair was easily one of the most brilllant of the London season, the guests having been asked to the Astor town house in St. James Square to meet Sir Edward and Lady Gregg, who soon leave for several years' residence in Kenya Colony, Africa. Among those who attended the dinner was Queen Elizabeth of Bel- glum, who sat at Lord Astor's right, and Queen Marife of Rumania, who sat at his left. The Duke of York sat at Lady Astor's right, and the Arch- bishop of Canterbury at her left, with the Duchess of York next to the arch- bishop. Among the other guests were Lady Patricla Ramsay, the Earl of Balfour, Logd and Lady Cavan, Lord Harting- ton and Lord and Lady Salisbury.
