London Letter.


Lady Florence Dixie still occupies a con-
siderable share of public attention, and va
rious poetical effusons satirizing her story
of the "Invincible" attack are going the
rounds of the clubs. One begins:
"You have told, Lady Florence" the young man
cried,
"a story that reads like play;
And your tale, Lady Florence, is hard to be-
lieve-
oh why did you tell it. prayl"
"In the tales that tell" Lady Florence replied.
81 remember that rumor flies fast;
And all that cannot conjecture at first
Gets somehow put In at the last"
ETC., etc.
The sister of Lady Florence-Lady Ger
trude Douglas-who married the baker, it is
to be hoped is getting on better in her matri-
monial relations than she appears to be doing
in business. After marrying the object of
her affections last year she set him up in
business, and advertised the concern pretty
considerably by herself serving customers in
the shop. She finds, however, that there
are drawbacks to a marques sister selling
bread. She gets plenty OF business, but the
customers don't pay; they apparently think
that peers daughter cannot want payment
for her loaves So the business is to be given
up and the aristocratic bride, aged forty, is
going to retire to the provinces and live
quietly with he plebeian husband of nine
teen,
