BEAUTY AT A BAZAAR.
How Fashion Imbibes American
Mixed Drinks i'm London.

1.-THE London World.1
The bazaar at the duke Of Yelling
tons riding Knightsbridgc, in aid
of the restoration and enlargement of
Kew church, was opened by the prince
and princess of Wales. They were aC-'
companied by the duke of Cambridge,
the grand duke of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Lady Spencer Maria, marchioncss of
Ailsbury, etc. The princess looked
very well in her plain black costume,
which became her admirably, and
might have set an example of simplicity
to many who surrounded her. II was
quite vcxatious TO see how everyone ran
after and pressed round the royal party
merely to stare. Now. think this not
only very bad taste but it must he any
thing but pleasant TO those who are
thus victimizCd. Surely, loyalty may be
shown without rude intrusivencSs. Most
graciously her royal highneSS went round
the various stalls, stopping particularly
at that held by the duchess of Cam
bridge. Here she bought some white
majolica ware Col. Hughcs-lIallctt's
clever poodle then entertained them
with his tricks After investing in Il
very precious pug puppy and a basket of
flowers the prince and princess took
their departure, and we were left to the
contemplation of the bazaar.
Lady Anne Shcrson kept dairy stall,
wherein were tiny animals innumcrablc
from little Australian birds, with their
scarlet bills, to pony, that in an inn
proviSed stall stood very contcntedly
munching his hay. Several pictur-
esquely dressed children lowered round,
selling fresh eggs, kittens etc, and |
was amused by one little maiden bring
ing basket with tumblerS of milk for
thirsty travellers, which she inadvcrt-
emily recommended as, Wont you have
II glass of ncw-laid milk" instantly cor
recting herself with little confused
air. Pretty china plaques were the
principal novelty at Lady Caro-
line Carriers stall, and next door Mrs.
Colman exhibited many fancy articles.
At the duchess of Cambridge's stall one
side was devoted to white maiolca and
the rest to various examples of basket
work and embroidery, and much of the
latter being the handiwork of the grand
duchess of Interchangeable.
Refreshments were dispensed by the
Ladies Churchill and Adeliza Manners,
assisted by Mrs. lIughes-Hallctt, who
specially presided over bar of Ameri-
can drinks. Hero one might have "eye-
openers corpsc-rcyivors," smaShes and
cocktails ad lib So successful were
these beverages that this impromptu
bar was pcrpctually occupied with
eager, thirsty purchasers, among whom
We're very recognizable Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Wilde, the latter in a
cream-cOlored dress round which she
had twisted a long piece of yellow liberty
silk, fastening it to the waist by bunch
of large lilies; her hat was trimmed
with white feathers and amber beads.
The dowager marchioness of Waterford
had n stall of brass ornaments that com
