something like a revelation after an alb
seuce of few months from our midst.
We forgot how young, how beautiful she
was. We had often said she did not look "A
day older than her daughters. But now
we began to think that she looked even
younger With her fair hair arranged to
perfection, and dressed in very becoming
lace and black velvet bediamoned to the
throat, she called to my mind the descrip-
ton given of her by Dean Stanley, the
pretuest princess every stepped out of a
fairy tale" And she was radiant with
smiles, chatting now with the prince, now
with Prince Nicholas of Greece, or the
Duchess of Fife. Both Prince and Princess

always dress for dinner; some more, some
less; and we hop into our broughams or
hansoms straight from our coffee and Ii
quer. For my part, although 1 can see the
foreigners point of view, love the gay
look of a theater with all the women in
full toilet. And, strange to say, / find that
what foreigners most admire when they
come to London is that very gay and fes-
