LONDON. oct. IA crrious quarrel lt2s
arisen between Marie Coreili. tho author
and the editor oC the GeatiewOnan. The
latter published a letter marked "privste
and confidential" !r which Miss CorelH
complains that her name was omitted from
the list u those invited to the royal inclos-
ure al the Braemer Highland gathering. -
the name Of Lady-Byrou was mentioned and
as her iadyeship was merely Miss Corsit
guest. the author saws
7 can only conclude that my uane was
purpcsely omitted"
She requests an explanation and says the
omission caused the greatest surprise and
onense 10 many persons. including. Lazy
Byron. The editor Of the G-entlewoUan re-
plies by saying that Miss Coreih was quite
correct In supposing that her name was
purpossly omitted. and that II was in ac-
cordance with Instructions long since given
by the editor. 'in Difference TO Miss CorellI
expressed opinions. OF newspaper puns.
In all her books which the editor had been
able TO read. Miss CorellI gloried III an op-
p~ortunity OF expressing contempt for ths
press and particularly for those "snoeS
Miss Corellrs favorite words, who seek
newspaper notoriety. Now he realizes that
Miss. CoreIi has been misunderstood and
that II would really have gratihed her To
have been named as present in the royal IN
closure. He can only plead some little eN-
cuse for the mistake because Of the appar-
Rnt sincerity of Miss Corell's letters and
writings on the subject OF 'fnoos anu
newspapers. and explains that logical con-
eistency compels him to believe that MISS
CorelI in maxim her letter private and
eonhdentiar' only meant a request Tor PUG
ncity.
Both the action OF the editor and Miss
CoreIrFs remarkable request have caused
considerable comment

reIlfs guest. This letter Is confidential,
but an explanation Is requested. as MISS
Marie Corelh was with Lady Summers and
Lady KinnRrd.-
The reply. written by tho editor Of the
Gentlewoman. IS as follows:
Miss CoreHfs conjecture as 10 her name
being purposely omitted from the account
sent by the Gsntiewoman's Scottish CORE
spondent. in describing the party In the
royal Enclosure at Invsrcauld. Is perfectly
correct. In Difference 10 Miss Corellfs ex-
pressed opinion OF newspaper puffs. the
editor long since gave Instructions that her
name should not be mentioned in the Cen
tlewomsn. Indeed. In all those OF her
books which the editor had bsen able to
read Miss Coreln has gioried in the oppor-
funity OF expressing contempt for the press
and in particular for those 'snobs.' Miss
Coreuf's fsvorite word. who seek newspa-
per notices In any social. literary or any
other relations In life. We can only plead
some little excuse for the omission. because
Of the apparent sincerity OF Miss Corelh's
letters and writings on the subject Of snobs
and newspapers Logical consistency oblsges
the editor TO understand that the word
private at the head of the letter should
be read public. unless, indeed. he has again
misunderstood. and Miss Corellfs letter IS
not, as II appears 70 be, a request for pub
Ncity."
Now that due publicity has been given 10
her being present al the royal Enclosure At
Brsemar. much interest is aroused in Miss
Corelhfs. expected acknowledgment
