Stanley's Bride.

Miss Dority Tennant, who married
Stanley, lives in London with her mother
in one of the large houses at the eastern
end of Richmond terrace. She is equally
at home in art, literature and politics, and
her own room on the ground floor probably
contains more photographs of contempo-
rary celebrities than any other apartment
in London. 1t is here that she has dis
cussed the burning questions of the day
with Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Chamberlain and
a dozen other cabinet ministers, but in the
result she remains a staunch and uncom-
promising Radical. Her paintings have
been accepted and well hung at Buring-
ton house, but her peculiar forte lies
in pen-and-ink drawings of the gami' s
of London. She has admirably illustrated
several magazine articles, and is never
happier than when sketching a group OF
street urchins at play. In this particular
line she has no rival, and as vice-queen of
Central Africa she will doubtless be able
to make her husbands books even more
attractive than they are at present.

Calling a Bluff.


Della Fox, the popular soubrette of the
Hopper Opera company, prides herself on
the fact that she never allows anything,
no matter how embarrassing, to disconcert
her. few afternoons ago, however, the
cool little lady had an experience in which
she had to admit defeat She was walk
ing on Broadway with friend when they
CHANGED to pass young man who carried
a light overcoat on his arm. Miss Fox
car red an umbrella in her hand, and as
she passed the young man she accidentally
caught his overcoat with the handle of her
umbrella. She turned round at once, and
looking the young man in the face said,
holding out the umbrella, You may have
it if you want it," The young man was
staggered for an instant but he quickly
controlled himself, and reaching out his
hand, said, Thank you" with a polite
bow, as he took the protfered umbrella
and walked away with it. The next day
messenger boy brought the umbrella to
the theatre, with a note which said :
II always call bluff, no matter how small
a hand hold The note was unsigned,
and Miss Fox does not yet know who the
young man was.
