Mrs Phillips is a beautiful woman and
Is mentally attractive But the exclusive
set to which her husband belongs seems
inclined to snub her
The Phillipses live a No 1907 II street in
stylish quarters. Mr.. Phillips has con-
tinued to receive the Invitations sent him
in his bachelor days but Mrs. Phillips has
been steadily ignored
IT seems there are some women nurses
on the American hospital ship Maine
which is bound for the Transvaal. The
London correspondent OF the New York
Mail and Express accompanied them on
visit 10 Queen Victoria. She says;
The little party started from Paddington
Station by the :O5 train. The doctors
Surgeon Major Cabell, U. 8. A.; Dr. Roll
man. DR. Weber of Philadelphia. DIR.
Hastings and DR.. Dodge-wore the usual
tall hats and frock coats Of ordinary Eng
fish ceremony. while the nurses-Miss Nc
Vean, Miss Macpherson, Miss Ludekins
and Miss Manly-all worse their while
uniform with neatly fitting box-pleated
bodices, stiff white collars and cuffs. white
gloves and gray felt hats With this they
wore huge cloaks of army blue serge, with
capes and little brass buttons. Miss Hb-
bard, who is the head nurse, was dressed
most charmingly in a white serge gown
having q short coat with trimmings of
white satin wastcoat. She, like two or
three of the other nurses, wore the Gu
ban war medal as well as the badge OF
the American hospital ship while on
their left arms was 10 be seen the red
cross OF Geneva.
The little party of eleven including
Mrs. Hopkins and myself, embarked on
the train, and arrived at Windsor at
about 1885, where we found royal carriages
waiting for us at the station, the servants
In long drab coats with the crown on
their brass buttons. The drive to the cas-
tie up the steep HILL through the town
that clusters about the gray walls, is a
very short one, and we passed through
saluting sentries TO what IL called the
equerries' entrance OF the castle, a low
arched doorway just opposite the royal en-
trance. Here we were met by the master
of the household, Col. Lord Edward Pei
ham-Clinton. X. c. b., uncle OF the Duke
of Newcastle, and the grooEl-in-waiting,
Hon. Alexander Grantham Yorke brother
of the Earl Hardwicke.
II was odd TO see just the slightest symp-
tom OF perturbation In Lord EDWARDS
face when he found that through some
mistake there were two more people In
the party than he had counted uron. He
feared that the two extra places neces-
sary at the luncheon table would uncom-
fortably crowd the party. and his charm
ingly expressed and courteous rsgret OF
what seemed to him to be an insur-
mountable difficulty, occasioned a small
amount Of embarrassment among our
party. Nothing. however. could have ex-
ceeded the charm and delightful hospital
ity OF Lord Edwards manner as he re-
ceived each one of US, welcoming US to
Windsor, and taking he greatest pains TO
let US know that we were one and an hon
ored guests. Then he led the way, with
Mrs. HOPKINS and Miss Hubbard, through
stone corridors with groined ceilings,
framed in with long glass cases exi lending
from floor to roof filed with trophies Of
a thousand British victories, as well as
gifts from Her Majesty's lieges In every
quarter of the globe.
