The following romantic story has
been going the rounds; if not true,
it is at least interesting;
The leading partner of we'll
known and very wealthy firm of
London solicitors, while enjoying
an evening at a theater, was smit-
ten with the charms of a certain
lady of the corps de ballet. Some
thing happened. The rich lawyer,
not over young himself, but with
intentions strictly honorable, OBJ
tanned an introduction to the fas-
cinating coryphee, and very soon
the acquaintance ended in mar
riage-he over sixty, she under
twenty. The handsome girl be-
longed to a humble family of eleven
children, and by one of those out
breaks of generosity which elderly
solicitors so rarely commit he has
undertaken to support the whole
batch Of them. The new wife, too,
must be fitted for a position "unto
which she was not born," and the
doting husband has accordingly
engaged masters of call the ac-
compishments" to give her lessons.
The solicitor occupies a splendid
mansion in the West End, and en-
ploys half dozen servants to min
lister to his wants. On certain
