patronize her, and by referring to VEN

royal pedestrian in Europe. She
is an admirable mountain-climber,
and recently exhibited her
powers in that line during

ing snow storm, but the Queen perse-

young enough tt be her son. 1t was
the writing of 1.-The Gates Ajar," a
book which expressed some novel and
unorthodox views concerning heaven,
which first made the name OF Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps generally known. She
is of an intensely nervous organization
and of an intensely
family. The ringing of her door bell
throws her into a state of as much
CONSERVATION and alarm as if she
positively knew it to be a "whitecap''
summons. The late Levi G. Wade re-
fused to sell her a building near his
beautiful home at Newton, Mass, say
ing that he loved quiet and compos-
ure, and he feared Mrs. Wards

with d~eferential courtesy for what
thew have and able to accomplish. /
