colony in that city, namely "Ouida, u
is beginning to look her age. which
must by this time be somewhere on the
shady side of forty. She has cut
her hair short-that Gambler hair" OF
which she was once so proud. and which
she used to wear falling in loose name
down her back, though deliberately
coiffed in front. Its amber is alleged
with silver now, l hear. The famous
novelist drives about Florence in q lofty
drag, holding the reins herself, and
driving with such recklessness and lack
of due precaution that she lately ran
her steeds straight into hay wagon.
In olden days she used to go about
Florence on foot, accompanied by a
train Of fourteen dogs of various di-
mansions, that kept their mistress fully
employed in settling their quarrels and
in keeping them out of mischief. The
canine train is now diminished to some
two or three individuals; but, as may
be seen in her recent novels, "Ouida !"
is still very fond Of dogs. Imperator,
