FROM MANSION TO sHAaYI.
eorrowfu1 Old Age Of . Woman VINO Was
Dsckans' Friend.

EoffoWhul Ulu Age OF woman VINO Was
Dsckens' Friend.
A few miles east Of Brooklyn ahanty,
about twelve feet square and most rude
ly fashioned, stands In little hollow
which opens toward the Atlantic, and in
that shanty with dog, an assortment
ofcats and some pigeons, with goats and
chickens thick about the door, live Will
liam and Victoria Tregear. 1t goes with
out saying that they are extremely poor,
and it Ia sort of surprise to learn that
the old woman gives music lessons in the
neighborhood, while the old man does a
little work at odd times.
Yet that woman was reared In fair
degree of luxury in London; her father
was Gabriel Shire Tregear, wealthy
picture merchant; she was long an init
mate friend of Charles Dickens, and was
and still is a lady of thorough education,
refinement and literary taste. At her
fathers house in London, and still more
at the mansion Of her wealthy uncle.
Dickens was frequent visitor and the
little girl was his favorite, especially as
his opponent in game of chess. The
story of her decline is both sad and ro-
mantle; still it's an old story. Great
losses in trade were followed Immediate
ly by her fathers death, the remnant Of
the estate fell into bad hands and was
squandered, her wealthy relatives died,
she became governess, married, re-
moved to America, and thus on and
down to Snug Lake shanty, as the place
is called.
She still styles herself Victoria Ire
gear, and so her rather noncommittal
husband is known by the same name
