NV Dear Princess Beatrice.
/ received your kind invitation 70 couS
up to Whippingham on the 23d inst. and
sec you married, but have not been able
to get there The weather has been DO hot
thi, month, that, to tell you the truth, Besr
trice, l haven't been going anywhere ~
speak of. At first I thought I would ~
any how, and even went so far as to pick
out mic, corner bracket to tnke along for
a wedding present. Not so much for Its In
trinsic value, of coune, but 10 that you
would have something with my name 10 10
Oh a card that you could show to those Eng
lish dudes, and lot them know that you had
influential friends, even In America. But
when l thought what long hard trip 10
would bc, md how l would probably mash
that bracket on the cars before I got half
way there, gave It up.
! am not personally acquainted with your
inamorato, IL that ali right, never having
met him In our set; bui I understand you
have done well, and that your husband h
rising young man of good family, and that
he will never allow you TO put your hands
into dishwater. l hope this is true and that
he does not drink. Rum has certainly para
lyzsd more dukes and such things than war
has. | attribute this to the fact that princes
and dukes are generally more reckless about
exposing themselves TO the demon rum than
to the rude alaIums and ono thing another

good one and one who knows her business

last winter got a girl whose mini had been
eaten by cut worms and she had not dis

which enabled her to charge q a week.
She fabricated the buckwheat pancake
griddie for week with soap grease and Q
dash of castor oil, and when she was dis
charged she wept bitterly because capital
with the iron heel ground the poor servant
girl into the dust.
Probably you will take little tour after
the wedding Is over. They are doing that
way good deal in Boston this season. I
thought you would like pointer In the very
lum-tumest thing to do, and SO write this
