There are many Mistresses in the Palm Beach area

 and throughout the wealthier areas of Florida.

As well as Palm Springs, California, which is treated as

a suburb of Hollywood.

KATHLEENS SHOES GOT HIDDEN IN A MAZE at HATFIELD HOUSE

Notes from Paula Byrne's book Kick:

Pages 83 and 84

Robert Cecil hid all her left shoes in a maze to teach her "the gentle lesson" of not kicking off her shoes in company...  "But kick dressed as normal and came down to dinner wearing one black and one white shoe" (with a black and white dress)... Throughout the weekend which was at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, which was a coming of age party five days long for Robert and had many college friends from Oxford and Eton in attendance, Kick continued to wear two right shoes.


When she was seen walking awkwardly, a woman said, "Why are you limping, Kick?" and Kick said, "Robert broke my leg before dinner."  There was roaring laugher.  Kathleen was "instantly accepted."  They thought she was a terrific sport. 


Said one person, "Kick couldn't seem to put a foot wrong even in the wrong shoe!"
