Con nfrmafiOn OfAnna Cora Ritchie's
ea tt1G Ton Leg story.

AeS StOEy.
/, A London correspondent writes as fol
lows abont the leg story told by Mrs
Anna Cora Mowatt- Richie, which the
Galaxy somewhat impugned
/ In the June number of the Galaxy
there is an editorial in which you throw
q doubt upon certain statements made
by Mrs. AsC. Ritchie in one of her cor
responsiveness, You assume that she has
been misinformed concerning the casts
taken from the legs of English ladies of
title. As ] was her informant, / feel
bound to STATE the source from which /
derived the information Of course the
assertion of the professional venders of
casts would go for nothing, as you imply
that they would find it to their advantage
to encourage belief in the statements
to which you refer; but Mrs. Ritchie' ev-
idenee rests upon very different grounds
The cast of Lady rs leg, which occu-
pied a position ia her ladyships
drawing-room, was taken, not by a
professional vender of casts, but by
an artist who is habitue of some of the
best hspses in London, and whose word
could not be da2bted by those who knew
him Three or fouF Gf us were one eve
uing drawing in the studio Gf 2 friend
when this gentleman came in, and in
answer to QUE queries as to what he had
been doing, he mentipned, not at all as
an extraordinary .occnrreneS, or one
likely to excite surprise or remark, that
he had been taxing o cast of Lady IS
foot and leg; and when We asked why
the cast had been taken, he replied that
it was to place ea the drawing-room table
as an ornament; nor, he added, was this
so unusual as we seemed 10 think. He
ID mentioned, indeed, several houses where
such casts could be seen. He also cited
the case of a certain Lady Mayoress,
of whoa two casts had been taken,
one with the she's snd stocking, snd
the other without; and q east gf AsS.her
noble lady which might be had at q shop |
in Soho. Mrs, Richie. however, was I
mistaken IN supposing that these casts I
were openly sod as being taken from
the ladies "a question. To the general |
public they are sold merely as ordinary
casts. An this was said, no. lightly or
ns lest, but simply and in perfect gGod
iaitb. We're it matter Of Importance,
