At q tea and sale at Sherry's the other
day, says the New York Times, some young
women were encountered in the cloak room
rushing about in real despair. "Our

lights. Not place to heat curling tongB"
Somebody suggested the alcohol lamp which
burned under the tea urn, aud this was
about to be levied on, when an attendant
told of a solitary gas jet to be had in re-
mote part of the suite of rooms. aud relief

This incident was accumulated by the re-
cent printing of statement that captains
Of ocean steamers are endeavoring to sup
press the smuggling OF alcohol lamps into
state rooms for this same purpose OF heat

have 20 20 back of the captains to the
electricians, for men may watch, but
women will curl, and tongs must be heated

heating, one to which reference has already
been made in the Times, one Of the appli-

thing was to find some one TO travel with
That. too, soon arranged itself for we found
that Mrs. B., from our town, was going
abroad with her young daughter and she
agreed to take me to London and stay there
as long as liked. We sailed for England
some time in the early part of March.

day after our arrival In London, found
that the date for my presentation at court
had been arranged, leaving us just two

a regular English tailor-made gown (which
always longed for before going
to the continent. The day before the

etiquette IL seems, TO wear color on a first
presentation. The heavy bengaline train,
yards and yards in length. was fastened to
the shoulders. 1t was trimmed with silver
and white ostrich edging, aud the dress

made 'en princesss.' was also trimmed WITH
silver and feather edging. But oh, tina,

my kindly mentor, and yoI
