Costume at the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 Fancy-dress Ball
At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Mary Graham Murray (at 687) was dressed as Titania in a "cloud-like dress of white satin covered with white embroidered gauze; train of blue chiffon spangled with stars and lilies."

Andrew Graham Murray is not mentioned in any of the newspaper reports, so he may not have attended the ball, or he may not have been noticed by reporters or reporters' informants. His caricature (right) in the 22 October 1896 issue of Vanity Fair, as Number 680 of the magazine's "Statesmen" series, gives an indication of how he looked.
