THE DIVERSIONS OF MAHARANI.

On most fine days l accompanied the Maharani on her morning walks. In thick boots, and with her sari tucked up under a heavy tweed cloak she would trudge for miles in the snow. Sometimes we had another walk in the afternoon, but more Of ten she would rest after lunch Un- less they had visitors l was seldom in attendance at meals--when 1 was, the ordinary hotel fare was offered me in case l preferred it to theirs, but l
 part, that no form of beef or pork should be brought to me at their ta-
 ble, and no wine. On the latter point there was not the same restrc- ton of courtesy. but a stronger one of reason, since the men of the party were only too ready to make English guests an excuse for breaking their own laws in respect of fermented IT, quors, and I would not have their loss of caste on my conscience. My chief 1 duty was to keep the Maharani anus ed as far as might be: she liked try ing difficult kinds of needlework--I taught her knitting and the begin nings of pillow lace. For whole
 week she made serious effort to learn French with me, and was q most quick and industrious pupil. But she was tired of everything in turn, and new fancies followed each other with bewilderlng frequency Incident ally drew her out, and listened for l hours tb her ideas of thing and people 1 her experiences of life, and deductions therefrom, which revealed much of the curious upsidedown mode of thought of the eastern. mixed with 1 the eternal femnie of instinct and i'm l pulse, After her glimpse of the big world and it's gayetics the secluded existence of purdah nashin seemed very intol- erable to the Maharani She persuad- i ed her husband, although she could not have much social amusement in i her own country. to allow her some l outdoor pursuits. He let her ride and  i being eager to learn, and, astonishing to relate, not in the least nervous. she soon became an excellent horsewom- ! an. She always rode astride, and
 attired in a divided skirt and yelled to 1 the eyes, she accompanied the Maha
 raja in his morning gallops. II amused him Ito have her company, and she next learned to shoot. and
 would go out with him after duck and
 pigeon By the time I knew her her ambition was to shoot tiger, and
 while we were in London she had a
 rifle built for herself for the purpose l These amusements relieved the mon- otony of her days, monotony she de- scribed to me with lively eloquence as she saw it in the lot of many of her | friends and relations

They are warm woolen wristlets for the carriers. and how they will ap- preclte them, too, this weather And then, S the carriers returned from their disagreeable duties of making the last delivery on the coldest day of the winter, each received a pair of the warm woolen wristlets. And it was a pleasurable surprise as they came in from the biting cold to know that they had been remembered by some good friend. The wristlets will keep the carriers wrists warm the rest of the winter. It was a very thoughtful af- fair on the part of the kind donor and will certainly be much appreciated.

The town hall was well filled on Thursday evening, with an audience in the first concert of the Choral society. The members of the society dressed in white or light dresses, sat on the plat form. The announcement was made by lMr. Buckley. that William Tomlinson was in bed with the grip, and that Mir. Mansfield, also of Bridgeport, was i'll with a severe cold. These notifications only reached the Choral society at 7.45 o'clock too late for other soloists to be procured The choruses, duets, and trios by the Choral society were very pleasing. The work showed careful training, the harmony was good, and the changes of expression very correct The selection Coon Song" by Giebel, was particularly effective. Much ap- plause was received after each num- ber The soloists were Miss Florence Cornwall, who played several violin solos, and responded to the encores
 Miss Cornwall plays wonderfully well, and her playing is always much en- jcyed. Miss Bertha Beach. who play ed the accompaniments for the solo ists, played the Chamnade waltzes, in her own brilliant manner, entirely from memory, and received applause, but simply bowed her thanks. Mlsa Maude Vernin Wilcox sang two very difficult solos. Angels Serenade." with violin accompaniment. It was very sweet and well sung. The Kiss Waltz" was also very well rendered, and the encore Bonnie Sweet Bessie" fairly brought down the house by it's sweetly effective rendition. Miss Will COX has a good range, and her high notes are particularly clear and sweet and full The accompsniments for the Choral society were played hy the church organst, Miss Tibbal,s who carefully drills the choir of the church. Dancing was enjoyed for time after the program. The concert was given under the auspices of the Trinity guild of the church of which Mrs. William Platt is the president, and which is composed of the young matrons and young girls of St. Peters parish
