and is in itself distresslng.-Good Words.

The Prince of Wales Garden Party.
From the London Truth.
On Thursday. July 18th, the garden party at
Marlborough House was the largest ever given
there. 5000 invitations having been sent out
against {, 600 in previous years.
The crowd of brilliantly-dressed women on
the lawn, most of them in white or Whitley
brown, the Indian tents, the music of the two
bands. the ripple Of chat, and the many greet
ings of friends, made the scene full of life and
color and movement.
The Prince and Princess received the guests
on the lawn, and the Queen arrived about half
past five, and was received at the entrance by
their Royal Highnesses. Her Majesty looked
remarkably well, and as she walked round the
gardens on the Princes arm she smiled most
kindly and bowed most gracOusly to the crowd
of guests, often pausing to recognize and shake
hands with ladies of her acquaintance. Lady
Vaudeville made pretty group with her twins
in Mother Hubbard bOnnets.
