OUT AND ABOUT.

There is said to be one member of the
Palmer household who is not inclined
to be enthusiastic over Prince Cant3cu
zene, and that is the individual who IS
footing the bills-Mr Potter Palmer.
Fhe remark of Rudyard Kipling, that
the American husband of the moneyed
class is exploited by the women mem
bers of his family for the sake of his
bullion was never truer than in the
case of Mr.. Palmer, who is kept in the
background upon festive occasions, and
is permitted to emerge only when it be-
comes necessary to sign the checks in
payment of the bills 1t is said that
Mrs. Potter's treatment of her sisters
family has long been a point of conten-
ton between Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer, as
it has been her idea to force them into
social place that they could not sup
port. Mr.. Potter has even waxed bit
ter over the subject at times, convinced
as he is that Mrs. Palmer is making
too much fuss over the nuptials of her
niece.
Another person who is not pleased al
the turn of events is Mrs. u. S. Grant,
grandmother of the bride, who has in
fact refused to attend the wedding The
brides father, Brig. Gen. Grant, is also
a cipher in the arrangements, but it IS
Enthusiastically clear that opposition If
any kind is useless. The prince and
Miss Grant are going to be married,
even if Mrs. Potter has to marry them
herself.
George Gissing has at last recovered
the manuscript of his new moved from
the hold of the Paris This interesting
parcel was on it's way to America by
express carriage Mr.. Gissing was
unaware that the Paris was the bearer
of it, and felt no anxiety concerning it
until cablegram informing him of its
non-arriVal warned him that something
was wrong. Some little time elapsed
before he became disagreeably aware
that it was in the hold of the stranded
liner on the Manacles. More trouble
ensued, but at length the manuscript
was recovered, well saturated by sea-
water, but otherwise uninjured, and 1t
has now been dispatched anew.
M. Kipling has just won law suit
consequently he now has only 26 on
his hands. The victory in question Is
