SOME LONDON DEBUTANTES.
Mr« : and -Lady -Mary ?Morison1 lent 9
Haikirl:; street' to their niece, Miss Hester
Gatty; 'for her coming-out dance. It is
a delightful, spacious mansion, the double
drawing room on.ine nrst noor miming a
splendid ballroom. Miss Gatty is a daugh
ter of the late Sk Stephen. -Gatty, K.C.,
Chief Justice , of Gibraltar. Sbe has an
interesting circle of relatives. -Her aunt,
Mrs. Ward, lived in this State. for- many
years, and*some of her children were born
there. Her 'husband; -the 'Rev. Walter
Ward, was incumbent at -tlio Semaphore
and Crafers. He is now- rector of Budling
ton, near Hull. An uncle-was Sir Alfred
Scott Gatty, who, as. -Garter King at
Arms', proclaimed the 'style and titles of
both Queen Victoria and Edward VII.
over their open graves at Windsor. He
wrote delightful children's . songs, entitled
'Little Songs for - Little Voices,' also
plantation songs, the pioneer of nigger
melodies. He was also successful with
drawing-room songs, one of which, 'Oh,
'air dove! oh, fond dove!' had a great
vogue at one time. Miss Gatty's^ aunt
was the celebrated Juliana Horatia Ewmg,
the writer of children's books. Her hus
band, Major Ewing, was stationed at
Adelaide in its early days with Her
Majesty's 96th. Regiment. He composed
the well-known tune of 'Jerusalem the
Golden.' Miss Gatty's great grand
father was Dr. Alexander Scott, in
whose arms the great Nelson died. He left
is on record that the famous admiral
never rose or went to bed without saying
his prayers.
Lady Somers will be interested in the
coming-out of her cousin, Miss Josephine
Fletcher, of Saltoun, whose mother and
aunt, Mrs. Fletcher and Lady Blytheswood,
gave a dance for her. The young debu
tante is just entering her nineteenth year.
Mrs. Herbert Johnson, mother of Lady
Somers and Lady Apsley, and Mrs.
Fletcher are sisters. The latter inherited
a, large fortune and much property in
Wales from the late Miss Talbot, of
Maryam. The Hon. Mrs. Harold Pearson,
sister-Maw of Lady Denman, gave a dance
too her second daughter, Miss Nancy
Pearson, who is a debutante of this sea-,
son. The setting for this dance was the
fine one of 5i Mount street, the ballroom
being ivory in tone, with no gilding, and
hung with a most interesting series of
Tudor 'portraits. The Pearson family
rallied up well to the support of the
youthful debutante, as they had done
previously at the dance given to her
cousin, the Hon. Judith Denman, at 14
Grosvenor street. Lady Coudray, who
always takes the deepest interest in her
grandchildren, was present, and the Clive
Pearsons helped to make things go. Mrs.
Clive Pearson accompanied Lady Denman
to the Commonwealth as Miss Alicia
Knatchbull Hugesson, daughter of Ethel
Lady Bradbourne. Lord Coudray is of an
age to hear about festivities rather than
take part in them, and Lord Denman
objects to going anywhere where masses
of flowers preponderate, as they bring on
his hay fever.
Lady Agnes Savile, the eldest of the four
daughters of the Earl of Mexborough, has
already tried her wings in society, as her
mother gave a dance for her in February
last. The Mexboroughs are great Roman
Catholics, and one of the side chapels in
Westminster Cathedral bears their name.
A former Countess of Mexborough built
the pretty little Roman Catholic Church
at Kj'ngston-on-Tharaes, in which Queen
Amelia of Portugal, the Duchess d'Aosta,
and many of the exiled Orleanista were
married. Lady Mary Savile is aunt to
Lady Agnes. She married Mr. Waiter
Harris, Times correspondent at Morocco.
He had a beautiful house and garden, the
latter being the original of Robert Hich
ens's 'Garden of Allah.' Two white pea
cocks strutted about this garden.' They
were sifts from the German Emperor.
Lady Mary soon tired of life in Morocco,
albeit under the pleasantest conditions, so
the marriajie was annulled, and she re
turned to her maiden name once more.
Lady Anne Saville, her sister, became
Princess Lowenstein Wertheim. She lost
her husband 30 years ago, and was re
a'dmitted to British nationality in 1918. She
is a great aviator, and took part in the
all round Britain air race. Her younger
brother, Col. Savile, married Lary Mar
garet Forbes, dau^iter of the Earl of
Granard. The fourth Lady Mexl®roush
was a sister to the Earl of Oxford and the
famous Lady Dorothy Nevill.

picturesque. Besides the grand march, there
were also parades in ages, to enable the judges

rrilles were danced by specially chosen children,
also Scottish reels, the Highland fling, and a
