Il is reported, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser" that Mr.. +
Berry Wall has been wearing for six
days past, a white waistcoat, with black
buttons. black shirt studs, and black
sleeve links, because il was Holy Week.
IL this be true, il is an evidence that

An exchange states that the denial OF
the reported engagement Of LORD Rose
berry and the Princess Maud of Wales,
is credited by the many members of New
York society who have been at all in
London or who are In touch with the So
cial world of the English capital. They
say that many reasons would prevent
any such ~union-chiefiy because any such
marriage would be to some extent a step
down for the Princess, as the children of
such marriage could not inherit a title,
and because Of the resultant weakening
Of Lord Roseberry's position with his
party. The story, which came on one of
the dullest days Of the society year, was,
however, welcomed, and il furnished a
topic for conversation and discussion.
The fact that Lord Roseberry is a wild
over and that his children inherited a
large fortune from their mother, Of
WHICH ne tIIOJS the llCDiIt hillll il'F
shall have come Of age, will. now, that
he occupied so prominent a position, make
constant announcements Of his engage
ment to this or that member Of the no.
bility or of royalty probable, so that the
announcements Of such engagements
should be received with considerable eau
ton.

of bonhommie, and a menu including
many other rare bits, in a bower Of ap-
pie green and fruit blossoms.

daintily fashionable, but rather the sound
ly sensible quality. attention is called
