A STANDARD SOLUTION S1R,—Mr. William Douglas Home refers to try
report in the Evening Standard in which he is wrongly mentioned as among those present at a charity ball.
I was told that a table was reserved in the 1 name of Mr. William Douglas Home. When I went to that table I was informed that several of the guests, including Mr. Home, had gone upstairs to escape from the noise.
I offer my apologies to him for any embar- rassment my report may have caused.—Yours [Mr. Douglas Home writes : 'Many thanks to Miss Muriel Bowen for her charming apology. She may rest assured that I suffered no embarrassment. In fact I regard the whole matter with levity and my only regret is that she did not abandon her thankless duties at Grosvenor House that night and nip down to Hampshire to make up a four at bridge.'— Editor, Spectator.]
