They All Saw 1t Move.

Mrs. Burton, with her husband-Sir
Richard Burton, the famous traveller
and two ladies, had driven out of Trieste
to a village dance and were sitting in
the carriage listening to the band. In
telling of it she said:
Suddenly, at the top of a roof, l caught
sight of a rat, which appeared to me to
be spellbound by the music.
"Lookr' | said. Don't move. but
watch that rat. fascinated by the mur
sic."
So we all sat and watched it, and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz
ards and snakes.
We all saw it move. We all saw its
head turn and it's tail move, and we kept
still. not to brighten it away. The next
day, feeling so much interested in the
affair, we sent to inquire about it. The
rat. it turned out, was made of painted
tin and fixed to the top Of the house.

The Cinderella Party.

Have you heard of the Cinderella
party? It is pretty and not too much
trouble. At the entrance to the draw
ing room each guests foot is measured
by two young ladies daintily toileted in
yellow and white. The measurement
is noted in a memorandum book, and
when all the guests are assembled the
lady with the smallest foot is presented
with beautiful pair of Turkish slip
pers. In a corner of the drawing room
is an immense pumpkin decorated with
ribbons pendant from the stem. Lift
ing the cover chocolate mice are found
within. and these are given to the guests
as souvenirs.
The dining room, all in yellow decora-
tions. carries out the same idea, and the
ices are served in crystal slippers.

Bravery of Two PrfnceSses,

To the long list of courageous women
must now be added the names of Prin-
cess Eleonore and Princess Mathilde, of
Solms, who, while walking outside Ber-
lin last week, met lady whose horse
was violently boiling. The rider had
lost all control, and without a seconds
hesitation the two princesses rushed at
the horses bride and checked him in
his fight, in doing which the Princess
Eleonore was unfortunately knocked
down and severely kicked in the head
and right foot. The other princess was
lucky enough to escape without any in
jury. much to the consolation of the
lady whose horse had been so coura-
geously stopped in his fight.-Hawk.

VIRGINIA DANIEL BONYNGE.
has been understood that the Bonynges were
striving to make Il big match for their
daughter. Two seasons ago she was re-
ported engaged to the Hon. Ronald Gre
vile, only son of Lord Greville. Some diff
ficulty arose as to settlements. Mr.. b.
nynge would not come down rs handsomely
as the Greville family considered was rea-
sonable Consequently the project fell
through, and Grevil!e has since secured an
other heiress.
Lord Deerhurst, according to his rank, Is
a much better match than the previous as
pirant. BY this marriage Miss Bonynge
will become related to more than half the
British peerage. Deerhurst is heir to the
earldom of Coventry. His family traces it's
lineage back nearly 500 years. The Wis
count is cousin to the Earl of Craven, who
married into the Bradley Martin family,
but Thomas Coventry was an earl in 1891,
while the first Earl of Craven got his title
in 1901 John Coventry was sheriff of Lon
don in 1916 and lord mayor in 1926. Since
then the Coventrys have been lords, keep
e1s of the seal and ambassadors and all that
sort of thing.
Lord Deerhurst has had for a man of his
position q most checkered career. For some
time he was a diligent follower of the
hounds until he had Il very bad fall. sus-
tanning severe injuries. which somewhat
dampened his sirdor for hunting.
Shortly after he came of age he went to
Australia rs aid-de-camp on the staff of
Lord Normandy, then governor of Victoria
Alterations with notorious Bob Sutton,
q Melbourne bookmaker, now known in
England as Bob Sievier, who has since mar
ried Lady Mabel Brudenelle- Bruce, led to
his retirement from Lord Normanby's staff.
He then spent some time travelling about
north Queensland and northern Australia
amusing himself with sport and searching
for gold mine, which he could never dis
cover, though he needed two at least to
keep up his pace.
Returning from Australia. he settled
down in London and led the usual life
about town of men Of his rank and posi-
tion. With him, as with many others, it
was the pace that kills. When his friends
tired of furnishing money for his extrava-
gance, he very pluckily went into the city
and took position in Wylie & Ponsonby's
stock broking office. There he meant to
make new fortune but for the man who
never did anything but spend money life in
the city was very dreary.
He soon decided that the other end Of
town, with all it's attractions, would prob
ably turn out less expensive in the long run.
Next he went to South Africa, spending
year there without finding the much need
