nected with the retirement of Mrs. Lang
try from "A Society Butterfly" and the
consequent withdrawal OF the play, as
cabled last week, was substantially cor

Upon the occasion of the birthday of
Princess Victoria OF Wales { the Prin-
cess was born July 6. 1869. Little Ruby"
Johnson. the baby dancer from New
York, was for the second time sum
moned to dance at Marlborough House,
