It is interesting to read Of the follies
and vanitles OF the eighteenth century

When there came TO the household Of
the Duke and Duchess Of Portland a
baby daughter some years ago, the
Duchess insisted on the Dukes convert
ing the gift Of diamonds he contem-
plated purchasing for her into a hos
pital where the tenants OF his estate

aspect than it had before, and has only
received deserved recognition, cannot
be settled. But there remains the truth
