LADY HAMILTON
l'erhiiM tho ower of liennty was never
lettr illustrated than in tho last century by
the career of Elizabeth Gunning. Hho was
tho daughter of a xHir Irish wpiiie, John
Dunning, of Castlo C'ooto, Roscommon, in
Connaught. Tho family was ruiiusl ami ap
areutly without resource. Hit jet titer a
was a resource left, nud Mrs. Gunning dis
covered it. It was tho beauty of Eliznlicth

tho mother wen us 1 enough mono) to take
her daughters to Dublin. There tho kindness
of Peg Wofllngton furnished them with In
vitntions to n grand ball nt tho castlo, ami
with dresses to wear on tho occasion The
maidens grew famous In a night mid were
tho toast of tho town Moro money was
raised, and in I'M they went to London
Roclety received the "wild Irish girls" with
