The list of good works maintained by the Duchess of Marlborough is one that is constantly growing. Her enthusiasm in the cause of the East End poor is of the practical kind which involves not only constant visits to the East Ham Hospital (of which she is chairman), but large contributions to meet its liabilities, and gifts of every kind for its inmates. In conjunction with this hospital her Grace founded a home for the poor wives of prisoners and their young children. She took a house in Endsleigh Gardens a year ago, and equipped it with every modern convenience. It accommodates thirty women, and the crκche provides for as many children. Known as the Duchess of Marlborough's Home, it is non-sectarian. There is a medical officer and a staff of hospital nurses, and the entire cost of the institution is defrayed by the Duchess.
